xringx Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I have come across a '77 280z. Nothing special about it. The car on the outside is clean and very little rust.. Only rust spots are in the corners of back hatch area (just surface.bubbly paint) and on the rounded edged of the back where 2 pieces of metal meet...just surface/bubbly paint. Rocker panels solid/no rust...Bottom has zero rust.....Floor pans from the bottom look good. Owner says car ran last year...but didnt start it up. Interior is bad. Dash is in excellent shape. Owner wants 5K.. I said no...I am thinking 3k.. Is 5k fair.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibud Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Seems high for a car that. Doesn't run esp. For 280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLATA Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Prices are on the rise, see what they are commanding on EBay and BAT, a few day ago a 240 with lots of fixing needs SOLD for 5K$ on BAT, same car two summers ago was like 1,500.00$. Grab them now, they are true J tin collector's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Prices are on the rise, see what they are commanding on EBay and BAT, a few day ago a 240 with lots of fixing needs SOLD for 5K$ on BAT, same car two summers ago was like 1,500.00$. Grab them now, they are true J tin collector's. This isn't a 240 though. It's a 280z that doesn't run. It's NOT worth 5k. If the body is good, and the car is complete, I think 3k is in the ballpark.

xringx Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks guys! I am glad to know I am in the ball park for pricing. I offered 2500 and he politely refused. I didnt go higher, saying I would let it sit for a bit and comeback at him. Let him marinate in the 2500 number. Its not an well advertised sale. I figured time and circumstance are on my side. We talked for another 10mins about other stuff in his garage and then I left. I will visit him again this weekend and see how it goes. I also agree prices are rising. I have been watching for a year, but simply couldnt so anything till now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Heck, I saw a running '70 240z with a clean title for sale in CA last week for $800. It was rough but all there. The deals are out there. If he doesn't want to sell - keep looking. Your biggest issue is location as good cars are hard to find up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
