This looks like a hell of a deal:



I've not seen it but they are in the same city as I am. For such a good deal I bet it's sold. He said that's all he put into it, wow that's a sweet deal. He said that someone from San Francisco is interested in shipping it.

I just traded in my modded 03 Evo for a G35. They did not want to give me an extra dollar for anything I have put in, so I took out whatever aftermarket parts I could and sold them here.

It's a nice Z as far as Z's go.

You might have to add the girl in the picture, to make a trade in.

I would try to sell it on your own as a "Nismo Package". There a lot a people that would buy something like that, with out having to put it all together them selves. It's low miles, not sure about transfering the warranty, a lot of manufacturers don't allow this. It's clean and if you have all your paper work, maintenance records..etc and if it's not your daily driver, you can take your time and get the most for it.
I would think the price you sell it for, should be enough for a used VIII.

As far as I know transfering a warranty is a piece of cake.

Sell it yourself. Try putting it up on modifiedcartrader.com. That website also has a deal to consider trades. You might find someone with a nicely modded Evo looking for a nice 350Z.

mods don't increase the value, so no they wouldn't. you'll have a better chance selling privately then buying a stock evo. your mods might be worth something if sold privately.

my friend traded his 03 350z in and got 18k for it, approx same mileage and in black/auto no mods. You may be able to get a 03 Evo for trade around 20k?

Haha, not at all man. Both cars are around the same price new. The second you drive off the lot your car has already lost a few g's in value.

If you are referring to trading it for a stock USED evo then yes, maybe if it's around the same price range. You won't get any more for your mods, nismo or not 90% of dealerships understand that modifications = the generalization that you beat the **** out of your car, and buyers will also see that.

Take off all the mods, sell them, replace them with stock parts and you'll get close to an even trade on a USED evo.
