73DATSON Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 So I was think what can I get from my lil RATSON if I was to sell now? The body is in great condition inside is good motor is running great with lots of up grades new paint job. A sound system not installed yet. Rear disk brakes Troy Ermsih suspension alarm with shaved door handles pop out doors.Hid's lows 7000k highs3000k with Halo's Car is Keys less. It unlock it self when I get close to it. What you guys think if I sell it all one good price.... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 There's no money to be made selling Datsuns. If you add up all the stuff you put on and all your time and labor and multiply by 0.66 this is what it will sell for in the end. (on a good day) I call this the 'Two Thirds' rule. The other third is an enjoyment tax for the fun of doing it. It's like insurance..... you put into it hoping you will never have to get anything out. The plus side, being on the right coast where Datsun survivors are very rare, is countered by lack of buyers who appreciate them or can expect to find replacement parts to keep them on the road. Properly placed ads may catch one of these buyers who 'just has to have a 510'. Post a grocery list of everything you've done to it and some good pictures. This will be the 'feel good' price.

Not looking to make money just want to know how much I can get??? With any car if you mod it all up you never get money back on them But when I get home I'm set it all up. THX mike.

datzenmike Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well post everything done and write it up like a for sale and see what people think. You'll likely get a fairly high price as members are more understanding or how much work it takes to bring a project along. Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Mike I don't think your familiar with how much datsuns can go for on the east coast and particularly in greater nyc. Values are WAY higher here then anywhere else in the country. Maybe in all of the Americas actually. You guys all talk and laugh about the datsuns you see all over the country, canada, south of the boarder etc... They dont exist here, and so values follow suite. 73datsun you would need a full list of mods and a lot of pics to get a real estimate of what the cars worth. Also depending one price theres a line of people I know who would be interested. Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 take no less than 5k for that car being on east coast( is a plus for you). ask for 7 and wait it out if not in a rush to sell. Quote Link to comment
