Who wants to trade for my 300zx!

I have a pristine condition 1991 300zx automatic 2+2. The 2+2 model is more rare (and worth more) then the 2 seater. It has 48k miles, and was used only as a weekend car for a looooooong time.

Black metallic paint with black leather. GREAT condition, NO rips or anything. T-Tops do not leak!

Now the good stuff. Custom fitted and designed OBX Racing Exhaust, nice DEEP tone, not ricey at all. Injen intake, aluminum hardpipes, and a K&N filter were installed as well. The engine is dressed up with custom painted valve covers, blue hoses, and painted fluid covers.

There is a custom CD stereo installed in place of the stock bose unit.




Now, I'm looking for an LT1 or LS1 Firebird Formula or Transam, with an automatic transmission. Low miles preferred. Please reply here or PM me

Your Datsun is worth about $4500. At least that's the average private party value for it.

I don't think you'll be able to trade for a faster car here, unless you have cash too.

yup, i looked it up also, and got $8195 for your car as a private party value.

assuming you get about $7-7500 for it, thats about the same price as a decent mileage 95ish LT1.

im not sure where dave97 got his pricing from.

I got my price from www.Edmunds.com and looked up a 1991 Nissan 300zx 2+2, non-turbo.

you didnt use their options list correctly, you have to add in mileage adn all the other stuff.

edmunds report for his car, with listed options

private party selling price- $6500ish

dealer selling price- $8500ish


so the $7-7.5k i suggested earlier is about right.

Well, either way you slice it, I can't see someone trading a Z28 or SS for a 300ZX. Sorry, man.

Ya.. Why trade for a slower car, granted they looked nice in their day and many still do, but without a turbo I heard they were dogs.

pretty much slow....15-16 1/4 i think........but not everyone is interested in speed.

some people want a comfortable, reliable daily driver, with a nice interior.

I really don't want to turn this thread into a flame war. First of all, I'm not a typical import guy or a ricer. My previous car was a 71 Olds Cutlass 442. I was setup to buy a 1993 Trans Am next, but it fell through and a 300zx for a good price came along.

No offense, but a few of you guys that replied are being really cocky. Some of you are helpful, and I thank you for that. But the other guys.. YES an F-body will beat a 300zx (non turbo) in a straightline. The 300zxTT will run 13s though, and can run low 13s and 12s with VERY litle work. But the Z has the feel to it of a more rounded sports car. In an autoX event, the Z wouldn't have the balance and traction issues that a more ackward F-Body would. In a road race too, the Z would fare better. Yes, in a straight line my car runs 15 flat in the state its in. But there IS much more to a car then that, if you're interested in other areas of driving or racing.

/rant over. Tryin to keep it civilized lol

hehe.......im a domestic guy first and foremost.........but ive driven both my LT1 and my friends 300zx (although its a turbo model) extensively, and theres no way in hell you will convince me that the Z28 has a nicer interior, better interior build quality, or more comfort than the nissan...........and for a daily driver that is what matters to most people.
