What is this old 300ZX worth?

Just saw this on done deal..

Looks to be in great condition, low mileage and really dirty!

I'd love to buy it, no idea on value or what issues I should be looking out for though..

I’d imagine it’s megabucks? Chape tax and insurance, turbo, manual, very rare.

£4K for a non turbo auto here

Thanks mate, yeah was hoping around 5k euro, probably way off. I might go and have a chat with the guy and hopefully a test drive.

Hate when sellers don't advertise their asking price. They probably change it depending on who is in front of them looking at it.

They know they're asking more than it's worth but hope they'll convince you to buy it if you come view it. That looks like a recent enough import to me given the REG number.

A wash a wax and a bikini clad girl laying across bonnet and it should be worth 40% more than it's value.

They list as owning from new. Is there a way to check?

I’m guessing it’s worth 5 figures assuming it doesn’t need much work.

i'd def question them on this as the car was imported from UK in 2008. 1 owner in uk and 1 owner here..... only way this is true is if they owned the car in the uk and brought here with them when they moved here in 2008.

Didn't get a chance to see the car at the weekend but phoned the guy. He's not giving much info on the price although I questioned him on when he bought the car. He says it was 3 months old when he got it up North and only VRT'd it in 2008.
