C.A.R. Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yep, I'll be heading down for a look & a cheaky bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSZ Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Good luck so many speculators for any Datsuns these days and what shits me more is they aren't even enthusiasts. These guys did an auction down the road from me last year, couldn't believe all the cars parked every where then of course some prick flys in on his helicopter! gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter t Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thank Gav for that pushing the prices up can't wait for the 2+2 to take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted May 24, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thank Gav for that pushing the prices up can't wait for the 2+2 to take off. If only I had that much influence. I didn't push prices up in North America, Europe or Japan. I just got tired of hearing people dismiss these cars for so many years.

Moderators PB260Z Posted June 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yes 2+2's have gone up, But I cant see them getting to the lofty heights of the 2 seaters - well not for a long time. (as a 2+2 owner I would love them to, but then again I have no plans of selling "The Bus" anytime soon. I am actually expecting classic cars to come back a little in the back half of this year.

Agreed, or at least relatively soonish. I think we have already seen Zed prices soften marginally from a year to two ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted June 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 10, 2018 Come back as in go up or down? I think it depends on the housing market and how much "equity mate" people have. If house prices keep sliding I see Classic Cars being harder to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.A.R. Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I wasn't able to make it down there myself, but according to a fellow Z owner who was there the 260Z went for $19,500 to a phone bidder. It allegedly had some major underlying issues, so the new owner might be in for a bit of a surprise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSZ Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 So 19k becomes almost $22000 with the buyers premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like some real estate agents who 2%+ as comm then hit you for every imaginable “extra” along the way. in my circle of the friends the wealthy ones are either Car dealers or Real Estate agents.

Administrators gav240z Posted June 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 10, 2018 You're friends with those people? Hah. It does make the Green 240z on eBay recently look like a steal in comparison! PB260Z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_L26 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I had a sneaky phone bid for a much lower value, thought I might get lucky and have nobody bid on it! I reckon 15% is probably a good premium considering that many of their auctions might only sell a total of 30k of stuff, leaving only 4.5k to organise everything etc. Will be interesting to see if it resurfaces in the next month or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
