As of October 2026, CarSearch.Pro's True Value model estimates a typical Datsun 240Z is actually worth $26,400 (fair range $23,200 to $29,500). Unlike the median asking price shown above, True Value is anchored to 170 recent confirmed sales, normalized for mileage, and blends auction hammer prices (grossed up for buyer's premium) with real-world asking behavior.
