MAKE SENSE OF THE NUMBERS

An older model year changes more than the price.

A price gap is not a depreciation rate

These prices compare different vehicles on the market. An older model year may offer a lower asking price, but mileage, equipment and the mix of listings also change.

Condition needs its own check

History, equipment and physical condition can change the value of an individual car. A model-year median cannot confirm any of them.

Mileage is part of the comparison

Open a model year above to compare asking prices within odometer groups. A small sample can change noticeably with a single listing; missing mileage is excluded.

How do older Nissan 350Z asking prices compare with the newest model year?

A 2003 Nissan 350Z asks about 73% of the 2008's typical asking price ($10,999 vs $14,995). The “Share of baseline ask” column in the table above shows the same share for every model year in between.

Which Nissan 350Z model year is cheapest?

How many Nissan 350Z model years can I compare here?

This depreciation curve covers 6 model years, from 2003 to 2008, each priced from dealer listings in the September 11, 2026 snapshot.

Is this a forecast of my car's resale value?

How does mileage affect Nissan 350Z asking prices?

Open a model year to see its available odometer groups, asking prices and listing counts. Mileage is the distance recorded on the odometer. Price differences also reflect condition, trim and equipment; sparse groups are labelled separately.

Typical price
Median asking price per model year, or the average when the median is unavailable. The price basis is labelled on each row.
Price range
25th–75th percentile: the middle half of the listing sample, not a confidence interval. Missing ranges are not estimated.
Coverage
6 qualifying model years with at least 10 listings each. Headline price-gap calculations require at least 25 listings per year. Gaps in data do not establish a generation change.
Mileage groups
Only positive, usable odometer readings. Groups with fewer than 5 listings are observations, not dependable market estimates. Reported odometer readings do not verify actual lifetime mileage.
What is not measured
Original MSRP loss, future resale value, or a guaranteed price for an individual VIN.
