300zx Pricing
iielmosglueii - 6/29/2007 at 14:02

What should a 300zxTT be priced at when its salvaged. The car im looking at looks pretty clean but im going to see it in person today. Im also wondering what problems I should look for.

There are no pricing range on salvaged cars. Because damages vary.

In my opinion. I don't recommend ever buying a salvaged vehicle because there will be potential more problems with the car and additional cost for you. You will also have a very difficult time if you ever wanted to sell it.

Cons

I agree, difficult to sell. And from what my friend tells me, insurance can be a little expensive due to the fact that things can go wrong with the car that can cause car accidents on the road.

If you test drive it, take it above 80mph. Sometimes accident cars don't tend to show their weaknesses at low speeds but at high speeds, a lot of things become apparent (steering, vibrations....)


iielmosglueii - 7/14/2007 at 23:34

i did. no vibrations.. just acceleration. not used to the turbos so after 80 i took it down. the guy showed me its speed and went 100mph+ i was gonna have a heart attack aha. but then again that just shows he abuses the car a bit. so yeah. i need to come up with a reasonable low price
