i totally agree....that 9k dollar z car will probably turn into a 20k dollar investment pretty quick....especially for how new it is and how few used parts are out there.Mitch you totally know how something can turn into a big investment, right?

The car is around 30k off the floor. So, IMO, If he wants to take on the project, why not. He has to spend a lot of money before he gets over the cost of the car.How much is he willing to spend on it? That exact model brand new only runs 26k.

Is he interested in a partialy damaged veilside front bumper by any chance?

Check on ebay, there a ton of used 350z's for sale... fairly cheap too.

True. Since this is a BASE model Z, nothing is special about it, he'll be lucky to be able to get rid of it for 20k. My brother got his 03 BASE version for 26k with only 50 test miles on it when it came out. He should use this car as a project rather than resale.

He is going to get screwed becuase of the Salvage Title Anyways..

I don't think hes putting all this work into it to resell it. His dad knows more about cars than most. He just sold His cougar to get money for this car. He wants to drive this car. Not resell it. I also believe there is a little bit of self-satisfaction knowing you and your dad restored it rather than buying a new one. It's also the meaning of father-son bonding, and satisfaction in the finished product that must be figured into it's final value, not just resale. -
Joel, that is the most complete, well-written thing I've ever seen you write. I don't know what to say, I could actually follow every sentence. Wow.

Joel, you get an S+ AND a gold sticker on your report card today. JK bro, but I think that's cool that its a father-son project. Wish my gramps was into crap like that, my only "father-son" project was 2 things 1) Golfing and 2) Farming. Golf is fun....kinda.....just got old after awhile oh well.

the way itsounded when i posted ws he thought he was going to make a killing fixing and selling this car.
