Not being negative just stating a fact and it’s an opinion backed up by the fact that all those high price Zeds are still for sale months and months later or even years ,not slagging the car off for one minute it’s the jokers out there asking silly money and some poor sod getting ripped off which annoys me,yeah agree with the 240 bit ,that’s one reason I've got a couple of scoobies,done all the modern day boring rubbish and there were a few cars from the 70s that had better performance than a Z ,I had some of them ,showing me age there aren’t I,but yeah The Z is iconic in its own right,
Unless a car falls under the ‘deliberate deceit’ category, such as a ringer, a cut and shut or badly botched/dangerous repairs, there is no “some poor sod getting ripped off”.
If you can’t/don’t do any research into a 60k car you intend to buy, regarding the current market values, common problems, etc, then you are probably stupid or rich (or both).
If you don’t know anything about cars, find someone who does or get a vehicle inspection done.
The price of restored cars is going to be affected with the rise in the cost of manufacturing and shipping spare/replacement parts.
You just need to look at the cost of shipping items from the US compared with a couple of years ago.
I realize it’s a different market in Continental Europe, but the likes of Bavaria Sports Cars in Munich seem to have a steady stream of 45-60k euro S30s going out their doors.
