    Carz.com

    I'm thinking about acquiring this domain name for my cars forum.
    How much do you think this domain is worth?

    Question... is it for sale?

    This domains was registered back in 1995, thus it might be costly and domains with "Z" tend to be associated to warez sites.

    I honestly don't see how carz.com will be associated with warez
    As for the cost, how much do you think it is worth?

    Good domain, but at least high $x,xxx. Maybe even higher.

    The domain is not aged at all, regardless if it was originally registered in 1995, it has since been redirected and non-indexed.

    Do a google search for site:carz.com

    you will see no listing

    so if you did acquire this domain it will take time for it to even be listed, at which point it will be like starting fresh with a brand new registration (maybe worse if the domain was banned or something)

    it is a nice domain name but might take a long time to get indexed in google as most of the traffic comes from there.

    i bought this domain www.used-car.org

    Because most of the domains out there using "Z" instead of "S" are related to warez, nullified scripts, illegal content and so on.

    I don't mean all of them but I have read this is the general audience's perception.

    Yes mid to high xx,xxx if it's for sale, the other reason this domain is good is due to the typo of cars.com as the "z" and "s" keys are joined.
