Common questions
How much does a Nissan 300ZX Turbo cost?
A 1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo cost $18,950 new. Over the past 12 months, 24 have sold publicly at a median of $10,514. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $8,500. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $5,000 to $18,250, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $8,500, down 26.1% over the past 12 months. That sits below the $10,514 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. Confidence is high: 24 public sales in a year gives a firm read.
Is a Nissan 300ZX Turbo a good investment?
It has depreciated 55% against its $18,950 list price. Values are down 26.1% over the past 12 months. Only 150,000 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $1,200 to $34,000, and mileage explains most of that.

The Z31 300ZX Turbo marked Nissan's serious entry into the performance car market, establishing the foundation for the legendary Z32 that followed. Kazumasa Takagi's design perfectly captured 1980s automotive optimism with its wedge profile and pop-up headlights. The turbocharged VG30ET V6 delivered 200hp—impressive for its era and a significant leap from naturally aspirated predecessors. While 6.7-second acceleration seems modest today, the Z31 Turbo offered genuine sports car performance at an accessible price point. The T-top configuration became iconic, defining the 1980s sports car aesthetic. With 150,000 units produced over six years, clean examples are becoming increasingly rare as many suffered from poor maintenance or modification. Collectors now appreciate the Z31's historical significance as the car that revitalized the Z lineage. Original, unmodified turbos in good condition command growing premiums, particularly in desirable colors like red or black.
