Ohh ok, I'm just excited about buying a Z when I'm 18 or older hopefully the prices will go down and everything will be back to normal like no corona-virus.

calZ Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Prices went up long before coronavirus. It's been a pretty steep upward trend for 3-4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockey101 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yea the prices went up a lot idk why people are interested in Zs these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Because people who were kids when they were new are now in their 50s and have money. The same trend happens with almost any car. It's why Supras and GTRs have taken off in the last few years too. Once the kids who grew up idolizing them have money, the prices go up.

Oh ok, yea it is satisfying to build your own car, but I don't know what it feels like because I never had a car that I can work on because of my age. Wait I already responded to that reply 🤦♂️ Edited November 22, 2020 by Jockey101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea GTRs and Supras are wayyy too expensive. Even a GTST or GTS25T is like 20k for a good condition one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many things will get in your way over the next few years, so smaller projects will let you drive and enjoy the car. It is good to see a new generation interested in classic cars. I hope you find the car you want & get to enjoy it. Its been 2 years now and Im going to start working this year maybe, and I now want a s130 280zx with the 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
