What should I pay for a salvage Datsun 280ZX?
Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Datsun 280ZX with light front-end damage and keys sits near the top of the sold-price range; a water loss without keys sits at the bottom.
Does the model year change what a Datsun 280ZX sells for at auction?
Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Datsun 280ZX final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.
Are these final bids what a repaired Datsun 280ZX would sell for?
No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Datsun 280ZX vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
