this has been up for a while, so i think its pretty legit... pricey, but rare... im pretty sure its the only one in the US with that low of miles... ive never seen that... check it out... pretty trippy... asking way too much tho... but hey if you got cash to spend, i would advise getting it for a track car or nice daily... no rust, etc... nice.

I had a 98 SE 2 years ago which I bought with 3,100 original miles from Apple Valley. California is like the best place for cars

hmmm 14,000 for a 1997 240sx with 17,000 miles
or
a 1997 180sx for the same price. tough choice.

clean car but way too expensive.

Wow it's local. 14k isn't that bad of a starting price, imo. You could always try lowballing, lol. The S14 kouki is already high dollar to begin with.

It is expensive, but damn that is rare to see.

I'd buy it and hardly drive it.

I'd buy it and put it in climate controlled storage. If I won the lottery. Imagine what that thing would be worth in 5-10 years? All the little rice boys are buying and crashing all the 240's. Some need to be saved!

I live in San Diego and have called on this ad and ads just like it. These people post these cars and always say stuff like... oh, i'm stationed in Germany and the car is in Flordia, send the money here and I will ship the car to you. This has happened before. Beware of Craigslist, I love buying stuff from there but never anything out of state which makes my money leave for any given amount of time.

It's obviously not the same car. Silver moss engine bays are like a matt tan/beige color. Probably is a scam, someone that's local should go check it out.

If this is the auto group that i delt with it is a scam. I drove down from Oregon to pick up a 98 silver moss... only to have it "sold" out just minuets before i walked in the door. after driving for two days and me telling them i am driving down with cash in hand and will be there that afternoon. FUCKERS!!!!

not sure if this is the same auto group that screwed you guys, but ive actually seen the car. its not far from psm. its really clean. the dude actually offered me to test drive it.(i was like pffsshh?!?!) the place seems legit, seeing as they have 5 FDs a MKIV and an nsx, but the dudes are some RANDOM SHADY ASS guys.

my silver moss kouki came with that same wood grain kit. i think it was an option. but that engine bay isnt a silver moss engine bay

these guys buy early to mid 90 import specialty sports cars and sell them for a hella mark up. They have actually dropped the price a little-- they were wanting 18 grand for like a year and never could sell it so they dropped the price 5 grand. They sell 150000+ mile MR2s, 240sx, supra et al for like 8-20 grand... they suck especially when these same cars go through auctions in the midwest for like 2-5 grand if that....

04-22-2008, 07:41 PM
But people in san diego buy their cars even if it's hella marked up. They generally find harder to find cars that are in semi decent condition and it works well to sell.

Yes they are. I've seen their cars and none of them are really in the best condition. They buy beat up koukis and sell them for premium after repainting them and fixing the body sort of. I wouldn't be surprised if this car was white originally and then painted so that would be the engine bay.

I wouldn't trust these people, their cars suck.

+1 They have all the clean shit in demand. Been there and they seem legit but they way I see it it's just a 240 and only holds value to us by us.(props to them on a bidnez) NSX,FD,FC you name it they have it even euro shit.

FUCKERS!!!!Same thing happened to me. All they had left was this white kouki for 14k, it looked pretty nice, but waay to fuckin expensive.

Funny thing is that a couple days later I see the same white kouki on here showing how they tried to cover up the quarter panel damage.the place seems legit, seeing as they have 5 FDs a MKIV and an nsx, but the dudes are some RANDOM SHADY ASS guys.:werd:

man for 14k i'd rather buy a used s2000. plus what are people gonna do w/ a engine that has 17k? boost it? y not just rebuild a engine if ur gonna boost. i dono i just don't see the justification in price.

aahhh jeeesus... you got it all wrong... see, when you buy the car, it comes with a chassis thats included with the motor...:loco:... i know, i know! its wierd... therefore, the chassis only has 17k on it too... you see where im goin with this chief? kinda hard to believe isnt it! ... but its a fact! :ugh:

and why the FUCK would you buy a used s2k?? a honda?? WTF?? why dont you put that 14k into a motor for a 240sx? :wtf:

^^^ I don't think everyone licks the same 240 nut as you.

No disrespect intended, mind you.

I love my s14, loved my s13 and will continue to (even though it just shat out on me 20 minutes ago) but different people desire different things.

i was gonna edit that just because i knew someone would say something... point is, you can put that much ching into and car, but y a stock, USED honda, when you can fully build a cheaper machine? doesnt make sense to me.

I understand your point of view.

If it's that car is the real deal, it's gorgeous.
