Is The 350Z Junk? Why The Nissan 350Z Will Never Be A Collector Car

Is the Nissan 350Z junk?
I don’t think so, I just think it’s going to be few more years before they gain value. What are your thoughts?

When do you think the 350Z will start to appreciate in value? The next 5 years? 10+? What are your thoughts.

[@antjr971]

Definitely in the next 5 to 6 years it will appreciate. I have a 08 z myself and I barely see any clean examples like yours and mines. The mods I have are majority for the suspension, brakes, wheels and tires. The problem is also like you said,people are cheap. They don't want to spend the money to modify something correctly or do research on it. It's not just a nissan thing, but Infiniti as well (own a well modified 18 q50) and bmw (g80 m3). No matter the platform ppl just are just cheap or have no knowledge. I don't think you can really escape it unless you start talking about high end cars 150k plus category.

@@antjr971 spot on man💯 Thank You 🙏

[@derkritiker7598]

The funny thing is, that they already appreciated quite a bit here in Germany. A decent one costs around 15k Euro and most of the time it is the 280 hp version

In South Africa, where it was the best-selling sports car of the 2000s, the 350Z has more of a cool factor, even though we have a bias towards European cars, so the Z kind of remains in the background. Nevertheless, my dad drives a near-mint and bone stock 350Z Roadster, which I'm in love with.

I swear the 350z WILL hit current S chassis prices in about 5 or so years. It’s hard to find one as it is that’s clean and never been to an intersection takeover unless it’s a Convertible or Automatic (sometimes both) without spending less than 10k.

No it isn't. The 350z will always be a budget sports car and there's too many of them to be a Collector's car. Maybe the Nismo version which is rare.

Good video man. I respect the 350Z a lot. I've had a few Nissan's, both Skyline's and Silvia's, and currently own a MK4 Supra NA that I want to build. The 350Z is worth a lot less than my MK4 Supra and stock vs stock they're faster. Hopefully I'll turbo my Supra one day but the bang for your buck with the 350Z is still there, especially here in the UK.

[@Big1_]

i don´t like this plastic 350Z with bored engine, my 1987 nissan bluebird turbo with hybrid turbo Garret T25, intercooler and 205 hp. destroys it in acceleration and interior quality. The only good thing about the 350z is the rigid chasis, perfect base for track, but nothing more.. A lot of people turbo it because it´s a bored car, that´s why they are cheap and no-collector car in my opinion. Nice video dude

[@PhilipTamorria]

@@Big1_ ok 👍

[@user-me4tt6ig7v]

People only deem 350z’s cool when they’re fast. Most of the time they’re looked at as a car for immature people, and the G35 almost hit that same status thanks to people doing donuts at todays meets. If they weren’t so cheap today, then they probably wouldn’t be looked at this way. But in about 10 years when there are far less, they’ll be thought of highly!

[@PhilipTamorria]

@@user-me4tt6ig7v 🤘🤘

[@jordangoodchap2682]

Pretty much any clean, low mileage, well spec'd, manual transmission 2000s car is guaranteed to appreciate in the coming decade. For the Z, it will be the later hardtops with the HR motor, and of course the Nismo. Other cars in the same boat will be manual BMW E46 330ci, E90 335i, Subaru STI, Golf R32, Audi TT, early 5th gen Camaro SS, G35, Cobalt SS, CTS-V, SN95 Cobra, etc. As long as they have a stick, the nostalgia prices are gonna hit soon and make us all wish we had bought one (or six) today.

[@primaltone]

As I've commented before, my unmolested '03 Redline Track is nearly identical to yours, but around 53K miles, still low all things considered. It may not garner the same attention of a Porsche, but who cares? Will it go up in price, probably at some point. But: isn't it nice having a car you can drive and enjoy without worrying that every additional mile and every unfortunate chip from road debris is depleting its value? These cars were meant to be enjoyed. Tell that to the Corvette owners that love to brag about their low mileage because they don't drive them (Disclaimer: I like Vette's. Not hating on Vette's or all owners, just the ones who are saving their cars for the next guy).

[@PhilipTamorria]

@@primaltone Absolutely, driving it and not having to worry about insane maintenance costs or not being able to find a part like potentially with a Porsche. 53 thousand is definitely low for a 20 year old car.

[@beniciobaeza]

The fanbase definitely ruined the reputation of these. It certainly made me hate 350s when I was younger. If you ignore the community you can really appreciate this car for what it is. It’s hard to say where the market is going to go. I imagine it’ll look something similar to the S Chassis and the 350 is better in every way imo. I commented before about me picking up a low mileage base 2004. It fell through and I found an even lower mileage ‘08 HR Grand Touring with 16k miles. Picking it up in a week and got a great deal on it. A few years we’ll see.

dude is talking about 14-18k like that’s cheap, a cheap car is sub 10k for a clean example. its overpriced in my opinion for its age. i love the z but its more expensive than it should be

[@PhilipTamorria]

@@21PHAZES Depends on how clean we are talking, and it’s definitely not over priced, especially when you factor in the drift tax, the fact that the manual gearbox is dying and inflation. The average price of a new vehicle is around $47,000, so yeah, I’d say 14-18k isn’t a lot of money in today’s world.

I like that it's not a collector car. I prefer it being a niche car. These people that make those bad mods eventually sell those cars. It's just a fad to most of them. Keep in mind drifters are using the 350z now and wrecking them. That will effect prices in the future.

[@PhilipTamorria]

@@jasongotshadowbanned True! Good points!

[@Cichlid_Visuals]

the original 350z track is going to be a collectors car, its iconic. If its clean and has decent mileage it will command a high price. i still think of gran turismo 3 every time i see one, and that nostalgia will absolutely cause the value to rise eventually. i agree tho, the walmart builds are horrendous, see people doing walmart builds on brand new BRZ/GR86 which is one of the best looking cars on the road today, just destroying them.
