IRISH DIME Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I am building my 1972 2door 510 and am putting a lot of time and $ to do it right 100%, no shortcuts. I know it is near impossible to get all the $ you put into a car out of it if sold but I am wondering if anyone knows the upper range of 510s sold. I have searched on the web and found nothing on the upper tier of Datsuns sold. My car is not for sale but Id just like to know. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment

laotsu Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 well some guy on E-bay is selling a MODEL a fucking MODEL, of a wrecked 510 for $150. So, that let's you know that the market has gone the way of old bicycles in the nineties or 1800's cash registers at the turn of the millennium. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 This is just me mind you, but I don't care what my 710 is 'worth', I just enjoy owning driving and improving on it. Can't put a value on it really. For someone else's vehicle? For a genuine stock very low mileage un-molested sedan 4 door, two door or goon? Restored? Engine swap? VG, SR, KA, Turbo? Suspension and brakes done? LSD? Paint can add $5K. Tires and rims? Location and rarity can affect price. If it's in the east it would be rarer than the west but might not be as desirable. Jay Leno has skewed 510 pricing lately by doing a feature on them. Absolute non running pieces of shit are selling for what used to be a good runner price. Far as I can see there is no upper limit to greed. Prices are insane. Do not 'buy into it'or you'll think you have a gold mine in that old car. Just enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment
Komeuppance Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Lmao... you came to the wrong neighborhood to ask about higher value for your Datsun. These "people" will brag about flagging a craigslist ad just because they don't like the price, even after being asked politely not to. They're not even interested in buying, but feel proud of themselves for fucking up someone's deal and not minding their own god damn business. -Robert Quote Link to comment

Komeuppance Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Lol... yep, calling out douche moves by "enthusiasts" is the sign of a little bitch. I should just go with the flow and be a crotchety old man stuck in the past, butt hurt about how prices of things are going up, and stick my nose in other people's business... that would make me feel better about myself!! -Robert 3 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 If you want a reasonably sane evaluation, go to http//www.nadaguides.com/classic-cars/ [and here you have to enter the model year/nissan-datsun/ your model number/ body style and then/ "values"] to get a "Low retail" "Average retail" and "High retail" value. In the past this site even described the definition of condition and the meaning of High/low/average. Good luck, don't loose your cookies over the quotes and don't go buy a new house based on what you see. These are prices that dealers will use to screw you so be warned, they MUST make a profit! 1 Quote Link to comment

If you still wanna fight it out,,,, i'm cool with that too. :D 1 Quote Link to comment

IRISH DIME Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I agree with doing it because I enjoy my ride, thats what Im doing as my car is not for sale. Was purely wondering what the most expensive 510 sold for. Thank you for the help. And the humor of course Quote Link to comment

As to the op, if you'r wondering that then you probably shouldn't build it. I'm building my dime to my liking and with no intent ever to sell it and that goes for any of my datsuns in the future Quote Link to comment

russaroll Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Car is NOT for sale. Wants to know about pricing. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Should have been clarified, want to know for insurance estimating. Want to know how much my Maxima is worth? To me, quite a lot. In actuality? It's worth about $1000. Any running vehicle is worth $1000. :) Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Car is NOT for sale. Wants to know about pricing. So I gave the NASDAQ [and misspelled it] site. It gives you "should I declare it on my homeowner's site" or buy a bigger gauge shotgun vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment
