the car itself is a 1989 s13 with 147K miles
originally automatic converted to manual at about 135K miles
Engines all stock besides a cone filter. Clean title of course and no rust. I originally bought the car from Dave(aka driftfreaq) in stock form.


wat do you guys think is a fair price to sell my car for?
Thanks for any advice.

Put it on Craig's List with "D0r1Ft000!!!1!" at the top, add 1,257 random stickers to the windshield and sides, and startegically place zipties on EVERYTHING.

It'll sell in under a week for $6500.

Thank me later.

if you are patient someone will buy it at the price you want, you will have to sift through the tire kickers, flakers, and low ballers, but someone will come along that is actually a serious buyer and will give you what the car is worth.

part it out. It makes no sense posting individual prices of your part because in the end if you sell it complete all that money you listed wont add up to how much the car is going to sell for. Most likely you get about half of what you put into it. I'd say keep it but if you want to get rid of it part it out. +its a single cam

silviaguy240
10-30-2008, 07:49 PM
i'd say 3k tops.

to be honest with you people are not going to give you anything close to what you want. some have the mentality that they can build cars cheaper and better. so your best bet parting it out and selling it stock, if you had an SR then that would be a big selling point and you can probably get around $5k

FaLKoN240
10-30-2008, 08:33 PM
Yeah, I can't sell my car for much now, you either gotta part it out, or take a big hit.

People buy cars for...just that, buying a car.

They have no regard for the effort, labor, or quality of the parts put into the car.

They just want something to drive.

If this gives you more hope I got $4500 for this http://zilvia.net/f/gallery-hall-65484.html

Sorry but that thing is UGLY.

s13 @ fullboost
10-30-2008, 08:42 PM
Dont be sorry dude that's why I sold it. The only reason I got so much for it was because I sold it to a fanboy =]

10-30-2008, 08:57 PM
ive seen the market change so bad. when i was looking for a 240 i couldnt find an s14 under 7k. now i see some going for 3-5k. i would say yours could sell for around 3k.

I was gonna say $3500 till I saw you had a ka-e. Got everything except power mods and I'm guessing you still have an open diff.

hey guys im trying to leave the 240 scene and moving onto the VIP scene


Wait, did you really just say you were moving from one scene to another?

A little fanboy-much, don't you think?

$3500 on a good day is the most you'll get for it.

Best bet is to part out.

10-31-2008, 09:37 AM
It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Start high and work with negotiators.

i wouldnt pay more than around $2200 for it though

mondojackal
11-01-2008, 01:21 AM
i'd say it's prolly worth right around 3000.

Stoichiometric
11-01-2008, 03:25 AM
Well, it's an automatic conversion. And I am assuming it is a SOHC?

Many people don't care much for SOHCs, IMO. The car has a lot of accessories but many people want STOCK cars and add those mods for themselves.

The draw off is the black front bumper. It would add more value if the car is in 1 color.

I say $3,500ish give or take. That is what a 240sx owner would and should pay.

If you think about it.

$800 = Chassis
$2300= red top
$1500 = paint job.
-------
$ 4,600 For a painted clean Chuki with a Turbo engine.

Being a 240sx owner, I would do the above as an alternative to buying a SOHC 240sx. You have a lot invested, but I say part out as much as you can, then sell the car for $2,200. Just my opinion.

It's easier to sell parts than a combination of parts on a car.

you should of avoided this thread in the first place and made a thread in the for sale section selling your car as a whole. now all the potential fan boys on here know what your car is worth lol.

then laughed harder :)
thats where Alex has been huh? I talked to Ron the other week and he gave me the whole family rundown, but i knew it was BS.

Your so deep into VIP your BIPPO huh??



To the OP. If you sit on it, you can get $3800.00. Especially if you can match that front bumper up.
i dont understand why you would heavily modify a sports car if you dont like to participate in motorsports?? You got a good suspension started, what the hell happened??

And I actually prefer the SOHC over the DOHC. something about higher compression? And I also hear alot of guys say the SOHC can take the DOHC in a drag style race? IDK, but my rebuilt SOHC kicks every DOHC's butt I have come across. :wiggle:

looking more carefully at your car now if you would get that 180sx bumper painted i think it would sell for A LOT more! The body looks in great condition as well as the paint. Good luck with whichever choice you go with man

who gets to care what scene im in but me. its more of a change of scenery cuz i'd like a more luxurious ride than a bumpy one. also i get tired of being seen in a "kids" car. everywhere i go i get dawg'd at by hondas and other tuner cars. most of the time they are kids. also its nice to feel safe and non anxious about where a cop might hide, or when they might pull me over for ridiculous reasons. i've feel that i've grown out of the tuner scene and wanna do something else with my time

respectable i feel the same way me and my friend stopped in riverside cause we got lost and as this honda del sol was making it turn the dude just looked at me and started hitting vtac hha:wtf: I was outside my car talking to my friend. I really cant get out of the "scene" as you guys say for me its not really a scene ive grown to love these cars so much in the past almost two years ive owned my 240sx. To me its an addiction the look of these cars are great for the years that they were made 89-98. <3

hey ericcastro theres no more rep! ha watcha gonna do brotha!::hulk hogan voice::

:rofl:

LMAO !! You know its the truth though, lol.
VIP is way more kids stuff, lol.

So now he's gonna spend a shit ton of money on a car that looks like a 16 year old boys wet dream??

At least we build our cars here for track use and motorsports. So we can chase our dreams of raceing or participate in SCCA races and other talented things. We take cars and use our technical and enginering parts of our brains to build engines, fabricate parts, use math in gearing and all kinds of stuff. Electrical wiring, Motorsports and car enthusiasm isn't really for untalented people.:2f2f:

With that being said.....

What he gonna learn over at VIP?? How to make Decorative sailors knots for his mirror and curtains for his rear windows?? How to instal a sweet underglow system off of ebay. Save all his money for one set of rims? lower a car to the point it looks broken?? Nothing says "im not a tool", like that.:ugh:

Anyways, I love not having the REP system too, I can be a total ass like right now, and its all good.:fawkd:


And to the OP, at least you know that motorsports aren't for you. So good for you to find something you like and go after it. Just kinda think your barking up the wrong tree. VIP cars ride rougher than your 240. Instead of honduh kids lookin at ya, You get Cholos and dudes looking to prove how tough they are, that should be fun :tweak: enjoy it :bigok:
