Equipment
4.9-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the car is finished in Jet Black over Sport Red and Black Nappa leather upholstery.

Condition
Showing just 4900 miles and in excellent condition with the exception of some scratches on the hardtop and front fascia, this Z8 isn’t just-out-of-the-wrapper fresh, but it is close.
Market commentary
Times have changed rather abruptly for the Z8. Its #1 condition value tapered from $321,000 in July of 2022 to $275,000 today. While the market is in fact cooling and many cars are seeing their values recede, the Z8’s trajectory happens to track the overall market more closely than most. With that said, it doesn’t mean interest in the model has waned. Multiple bidders competed through the auction’s closing hours and the sale yielded a healthy result in today’s market, albeit one that is well short of what it might have achieved in the summer of 2022. People are still willing to pay top dollar, though the top just isn’t as high as it once was. Ultimately, this Z8 sale projects rationality from both parties. Bring a Trailer expressed confidence in the car by selling it with no reserve, and buyers were willing to value it in line with the current top of the market. If this is where the market is headed, that’s not the worst thing.
