I don't think anyone has brought this up but I was watching the 'Wall Street Journal' report this morning and they said that the new Nissan 350z w/ VIN# 1 met it's final bid at.... $95,000 OhhhhhMyyyyy just when you thought you were crazy about Nissan this person has Major Love and deep pockets!!! If you had the money would you...?

http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/im...milies/eek.gifhttp://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/im...milies/eek.gif shit 95,000 I guess money is not an issue for this person

95 g's...damn I would not do that...the car is nice, but imagine what he/she could have done to that car if they wait another year.... <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

yeah... but can you imagine how much the 2003 350Z Vin #1 is going to be worth in 50 years?

to a collector..money doesnt matter, i doubt its some punk kid that went up to mommy and daddy and tell them to buy him the 350z wiht VIN #1..its a collector, but for 95gz? i would of gone with the Skyline, since its gone forever!!! <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':nervous:'> i checked the Nissan of Japan website, and yep its off the lineup *sigh* the Skyline will always be remembered

Where does the #1 show up in the vin? &nbsp;Its not like the start counting at one and go all the way up to ten billion and then start using letters...

the R34's are gone, but Nissan WILL make an R35, unfortunnatly just not an S16 at the moment &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>

Fairly sure its the last few #'s

Ex:

Real VIN from 1990 Z:JN1RZ24AOLX015754

1st Z:JN1RZ24AOLX000001

geez. i would never attempt to bid on a car for 95 gs <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

With all that money I would have bought a R34 or have a very very nice 240, heck I would get a M5 and drop some mods on that.

I just realize that even though the vin is #1, that car is not the first one to roll off the production line......some one correct me if I'm wrong. &nbsp; <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

I was about to say that. I'm pretty sure in 10-15 years he'd be able to sell it for like 150-200 grand to some othe collector if the guy puts it in his garage and keeps it mint. Now $15000/year ain't much, but it sure doesn't get better if you get payed that money for just having a car sitting in a garage.
