I found a 1989 s13 coupe. two tone, torquoise ish, and grey, it has a power sunroof, and everything is brand friggin new looking. the odo has only 6800 miles, and it is an auto. this thing is sooo clean i had to tell someone.

What i want to know is if anyone knows if these colors and options are rare? I think i might try and buy it from the place i found it. http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/51/l_c86788b1a03e4e9cbd8e3b6b01e9e3dc.jpghttp://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/2/l_41f59b01e1864e3b85599aa437a8ec4c.jpghttp://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/47/l_3ddc33fdfafb46ffa7149f7569f185bf.jpghttp://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/56/l_236b5f64a7d94e3b9f30986879ff6ba9.jpg

its not as common
rare? rare isnt rare when the cars was mass produced, imo.
but for the condition you claim its in, that part is rare.

I have to agree with dousan on this one. The only rare part about it is the low miles and if everything is new like you say it is then yeah that too. Post up some pics! I bet the askng price is way over anyways. Unless it's just some old person that bought it new and never used it.

I don't know about you guys, but I would definitely pay way over book value, and I mean wwwaaayyyy over for a super mint factory original '89. Being able to have a super clean platform to start from is definitely the best and most important part of a car in my eyes. Or with one that clean, just hold on to it, drive it on the super nice days, preserve it....granted it probably won't ever bring anything near the money old Camaro's and Chevelle's do, but you'd have some pretty sweet bragging rights...."Oh, you've got a 90k mile '91, that's pretty good. Exceptttttt....I've got a 6800 mile '89"

Kind of need pics to tell the true worth though..

Damn, when you find out the asking price let me know I may want to pick this up. Try to get the VIN # and check it out the carfax report. Definitely post up some pics!

68k miles or 6k miles?

Because that doesn't look like a 6k mile chassis.

As for color, that fairly common.

Just most idiots decide to primer it instead of wax.

It's vinyl. You're acting like it's spray painted on or something.

Shit will come right off.

yeah, its sad to say but they refuse to sell it to me they claim it has no vin, and because it was donated to them from nissan they can't sell it. i'm having a tough time this past week cause they are stripping it and won't let me get any parts from it, they took the motor and the trans out, and removed the dash, but are locking it up every day so it won't disappear, its been talking to me in my sleep

Must be one of those crusher cars from way back when.... Like a test mule that was just sitting around and Nissan is throwing it out.... Theres a couple floating around that I know of in Japan as well that are N1 race chassis silvias with like 7km on the dial. Have pictures too but... that is nice state side
