What did our cars cost

[madwilly814]

What would a base model black '96 5 speed go for off the showroom floor? is there any website that gives prices of cars when they were new?  i'm thinkin they were in the high teens.  maybe 18K

[Nismos14]

i see in a test drive that a 95 se auto went for  $23,049

[Titan]

My 89 went for something like $22,000 Canadian... I actually have the check copies from the original owner! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Two checks, one for the down payment, which was something like $2000, and the other for the balance, which was like $19,xxx.

Had the window sticker somewhere for my 97 LE..... &nbsp;
Loaded, - auto (thank god) - ABS (ahh. . either or on that one) &nbsp;- LSD. . (ugh...) &nbsp;

Thank Jeebus for the crappy resale we have!

wait... you're happy about having an automatic, but dislike the LSD? what the- are you like, Bizzaro 240 Driver or something?

Car and Driver's semi-loaded '89 fastback tester was $16,108... a good deal against the Probe GT or the Prelude Si apparently:

Their loaded '95 SE test car was estimated at $23k:

Inflation accounts for much of that difference, but the S13 was relatively cheaper, hence it sold better.

hahah nononono you got that backwards. =)

5 speed... no ABS, and my VLSD is laying on the garage floor (J30 VLSD that I REALLY need to install right now haha)

Just clarification. =)

[KoukiS14]

AHH I see what I did... &nbsp;the (-) is spaced and . . well. . doesn't work... Sorry guys =)

My car has no ABS, no VLSD, and NO AUTO thank god...

And it had a 28k sticker!! I doubt that was the price paid, however. =)


-Rob

[ghosts14]

I still have the original window sticker for my car and it was listed for $26252. &nbsp;Good thing it wasn't that much when I bought it, there would be no way I would pay that kind of money for this car.

[KoukiS14]

Yeah! My sentiments exactly... No way in hell is my car worth 28k!!! Especially not 5 years ago, but I can always tell people I roll around in a 30k dollar car hahah (but I don't) lol cause. &nbsp;.they'd go "What makes it 30k?" &nbsp;I'd be like "well, the color scheme looks like it was designed by StarBucks, and that's kinda cool" &nbsp;haha

-Rob

[HippoSleek]

Yup - my window sticker was low $24K range for a 95 SE w/ mnrf, premium stereo, 5 sp., no lsd, no abs.

GEE - I WONDER WHY SO FEW WERE SOLD AND THEY QUIT IMPORTING THEM?

[240Stilo]

Does anybody ever remember seeing any advertisement on the 240's? I would love to see a 240 commercial or magazine ad. It would be more cool than the cool smiley <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

[Evil S14]

[sponger85]

i paid 4500 back in july 2001 for my 92 fastback 5speed, not an se though, it had only 49k, hehe, and had not been driven for about a year and a half .... so i had to break it in when i got home .... the interior is like new almost and the body was in perfect shape when i got it until school started i got 2 freakin major dents where some a**holes hit me .... one on the back and one on the door .... they are not too noticable but you can see them from a distance .....

[Joe_M]

I still have a copy of the original title for my 91 fastback when it was sold used with 4500 miles in the summer of 91. Sticker price for an LE was $19,000 and some change.

My S14 was an abandoned child who was put up for auction in a pig sty...before me, the owner used it as a company car and drove about 19K a month before being unable to make anymore payments....when I got it, it had 47K on it and the guy was selling it for $8700....he bought it from a police auction....:)

It's auto (just need a better torque converter), no LSD (damn, must learn to DRIFT!), yet is still extremely fun to drive.
