Hey,

I've been seeing people post 'what's my car worth' threads and have an idea of what I think my car is worth....unfortunately I may be selling it this summer but I want to hear everyone's thoughts on its value before I get my hopes up for something that will not happen.

Basic info and pictures:

Car: 1997 Nissan 240sx SE
Mileage: 135XXX chassis, 70-72,XXX on SR

Engine stuff:
-S14 SR20DET - Red WC ECU - Bought from J-Hot last year, about 8k on the swap so far.
-HKS Filter
-3" elbow/downpipe
-Unknown JDM tube mani (100% not a cheap megan/etc manifold)
-3" cat
-Trust DD exhaust
-Greddy Easy Cams
-Custom mid-mount Evo 8 intercooler set up
-Mishimoto radiator
-Custom fiberglass cooling panel

Suspension Stuff:
-Custom bilstein coilover set up with full Z32 rear upright swap and J30 rear brakes
-Ebay RUCA and Toe arms with $65-a-piece Aurora rod ends
-Cusco tension rods
-Tein inner and outer tie rods

-All the parts to run AC should you want to - including custom welded lines. All you have to do is get a regular FMIC or SMIC kit and put all of the AC stuff back on the car.

The pictures don't match the exact description because I have not gotten the car painted yet:

the car is modded, its worth as much as you want to sell it for/ whatevers attractive to the buyer..

its hard to judge, but an example, you may list ur car for 14k, if theres a dude who is willing to pay that much, well there you go 14k . lol Long as its not ridiculous.

Your car id say its something id typically see listed for 10k. You could still get alot of other newer cars for simular price/value, esp if you find someone to trade with.

I'd say around $11-13,000 maybe more maybe less. It all depends on the market at the time you're selling and really, what people are looking to spend money on. Btw, I love those fucking wheels. If you ever feel like parting with them I'll definitely pick them up :)

i'd say $11-13k as well, depending on how well that paint comes out.

id say 10-12k. 10 for decent paint, 12 for awsome paint.

as it sits w/o paint, its like a 8-9k car imo. but thats just my opinion, it means nothing because im no expert.

Ok, it looks like you guys are about dead on with what I was thinking price wise. Good to know! Thanks for the responses and help everyone.

dont want to sound like a jerk, but that just seems like a lot for a 240.

there is a certine point where no matter how highly modded your car is, you cant really get the price you want.

example. if you dump 20k into that car, and make it the shit, good luck selling it for 18k because people could get a better new nicer car for that price ya know? so id say 13k is really really pushing it.

oh and dont paint it olive!
