Hi all been toying a while with letting the Zed go as at present its really just gathering dust and its a shame as its a stunning car not perfect but at 21 very very clean
Not really sure on a value to put on it and also not sure if to sell the car as is or return it to stock and sell off all the mods.
The latter seems a shame as the car is built well but maybe it makes more sense financilly to sell the car stock and then all the mods.

Car is a 98 Prefacelift 2.8

Not really the right time to sell but trying to get input on it.
What are your views?

Thanks

KEEP IT ;););).

its a dilemma like you say you would probably get a good price for your zed without some of its higher value goodies but easier to sell complete.

Also like you say really not a good time to be selling.

Honestly don't now how you could put a value on all the time,money and effort you put into building that gorgeous car Ant. It would take a long while to recover money from selling on all the "mods" but would probably end up realising more than selling as is. The best of luck whichever way you decide to go mate. This is my favorite Z3 on this forum, bar none.

Ant have to totally agree with Tony' s last bit there.
Ever since joining the forum I have always really liked your zed it has an amazing stance and a great attention to detail and I can guarantee a number of members on here ( myself included) are slightly jealous of it .

As said if i find the right buyer it will sell well and i would like to see it go complete. Its been a labour of love building it but its been alot of the fun of ownership for me so alot of that value was mine anyway :thumbsup:
 
Wish I could afford to have it mate.:(

Tony.
 
Shall we go halves Steve?;)

Tony.
 
I could leave you a very nice, civilised Z4 for the winter mate =))

Tony.
 
If you could also leave me a garage to store it in even better as that is my current issue that both zeds live outside.

I would love Ants car but would not insult all his hard work by leaving it out in all weather 365 :(:(:(
 
I agree with Roy Ant, there'll never be another Z3 like this, but, I do look forward to seeing an Ant Z4.

Tony.
 
Don’t sell it :)
I bet you will regret it if you do :)
Hold on to it and see how you feel in a few months :)
 
Mate, i'd say don't sell it as you just can't retreive the time and effort you've put into your car and it is one of two zeds on the forum that shine out for me. We discussed prices the other week but it's not enough. If you do sell you won't get what its truly worth on here, try piston heads and the like if you must.
 
One of the very best cars around. Would be loathed to sell personally, but, it really depends on your motivation. If it’s the love of doing the work and bring a car up to concourse level standard, I can see the desire to move on and do another. The cost is immaterial to a degree. You know you can’t recover that level of investment in time and money. It will surel go to someone who treasures and respects the amount of work you’ve put in to it if you do sell.
 
Purely financial would sell the bits separate as the car would stand up well as Standard.
 
Shame you have to sell after all your hard work Ant. Is it the M52TU engine under the hood? How many miles?
