dottie Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Unfortunately, due to parking (I live in SF and have two cars already), I need to put my 210 up for sale because I do not want her to get destroyed by the weather and the city and I am not sure how much it is worth. Including the the price of the car, I have spent about $7k. The car is a true survivor with only 27,050 miles, 3sp auto, all original equipment, an immaculate interior, everything works, fairly straight body and minimal rust. The roof of the car was re-painted at one time and there is some surface rust but can easily be taken of. Here is a list of the work I have done in the past 2k miles. Rebuilt transmission Rebuilt Carb New shocks New struts New tires New Radiator New rear brake cylinders New belts Cons - Some surface rust Some small dents and dings To view photos of the car visit: http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0091009/photos/117943056@N06/sets/72157641140581863/ Any input on how much my baby is worth, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 well 90% of the time, never close to what you have put into it... "What you have put into it" has absolutely no relevence to the "what is it worth" question! The vehicle is worth what the willing buyer is tempted to offer on any given day. The amount of time, effort and the cost of parts that you bought have absolutely no impact on what the buyer is willing to pay, Tough, but that's what the real world is all about! It's a buyers market for older cars, not a seller's market, unless you have the fully documented number one serial number Nash Healy car featured on cable TV today. By the way, the seller didn't get his reserved price. Quote Link to comment

dottie Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks everyone for your help. I've decided to start at $5k. http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/item/3081-1979-datsun-210/ Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment
RatsunGT Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 The only other way to bring up a cars value, is to get it cheap, and put do-dads and whistles on it. then it could be worth more profit, and with a small base, it leaves plenty for the upper range price wise. (hot rod style) then its worth more than its valued. Original shape is always nice though, since no ones messed with it! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 7K is probably slightly more than what it was worth new. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 7K is probably slightly more than what it was worth new. MSRP was in the $3800 range. Adjusted for inflation, if you bought the car new today it would cost $9,712.95. So $7k is a relative bargain. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
