Nissan Z Submodels
The Nissan Z car, which debuted as the Datsun 240Z in 1970, immediately redefined the sports car market. It offered stunning performance and looks similar to European competitors but at a fraction of the cost and with superior reliability. This formula made the Z an icon, with subsequent generations like the tech-heavy Z32 300ZX and the back-to-basics 350Z continuing the legacy of an accessible, fun-to-drive coupe.
Collectors prize the early S30-chassis cars (240Z, 260Z, 280Z) for their pure design and historical importance. Rare, high-performance variants, especially JDM models like the Z432R, command the highest prices. The market's breadth is its defining feature, with an average sale price of just $23,171, showing that the majority of transactions are for affordable 350Z and 370Z models that offer a modern Z experience.
The introduction of the new RZ34 'Z' in 2023 has renewed interest across the entire model line. While pristine, low-mileage 240Zs and 300ZX Twin Turbos appreciate, the 350Z and 370Z remain fantastic entry points into rear-wheel-drive performance. They are frequently modified, so finding a stock example is becoming more difficult and desirable.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy of S30 and S130 cars; check floor pans, frame rails, and behind the battery.
- For Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo models, confirm the complex 60k-mile service, including the timing belt, was performed.
- Early 350Z models with the VQ35DE 'Rev-Up' engine can consume excessive oil, so check levels and service history carefully.
- Inspect all modern Zs for signs of hard use or extensive modification, as these cars are popular for drifting and track days.
