Here's What A Maximum '90s Nostalgia Volkswagen GTI Is Worth Now
A 1992 Volkswagen GTI was fun and “fast” around the time a lot of us
got our driver’s licenses. But it was nothing special, which meant a lot
of them were cheap, which meant you or somebody you knew probably had
one. And that is why this modest little car is stirring up so much nostalgia.
The
VW Golf GTI of the early ‘90s wasn’t the first hot hatch. It wasn’t
even the first GTI. But it was nimble, it was simple, it was a riot to
drive and it was within reach even if you were a car fan of modest
means.
Turns out I’m not the only one who has a soft spot for these, because the prettiest GTI I’ve seen since high school just sold for $12,000. That’s not too far off what the car’s MSRP would have been 25 years ago!

Is This Too Good To Be True?
2003 Nissan 350Z with serial number 1 for sale
Nissan enthusiasts, you may want to check your bank accounts, because you now have the opportunity to own a historically significant 350Z. First reported by Jalopnik, Don Davis Nissan in Arlington, Texas, is offering a 2003 350Z that is claimed to be the first one off the production line. This is due to its VIN, which has the serial number "000001." This often is a sign that a car is the first in production, but just to be sure, we've reached out to Nissan for confirmation, and will update this post with any news we get from the company.
Aside from this potentially being the very first production Z car built since the Z32 300ZX was discontinued, it's an extraordinarily clean, low-miles example of the sports car. It only has 173 miles on the odometer, and the interior is spotless. The car is equipped just the way a 350Z enthusiast would want — although it isn't the "Enthusiast" trim level. It's a Track model, so it has Brembo brakes, light Rays 18-inch alloy wheels, a viscous limited-slip differential, aluminum pedals, and a rear spoiler. The car also comes with the six-speed manual transmission.
The asking price on this 350Z is a not-unsubstantial $48,500.
