Ca18det s13 help please!!

[aNtAg0n1sT]

Sup Everybody!! Im new to the Zilvia.net community. Im in the process of purchasing a S13 hatch and I found one that I really like for $4500. It looks clean and it has a CA18DET. The owner informed me that one of the coil packs went out on it so the car runs but it is a little slow to take off. I would like to know if that is normal or could it possibly be more serious? How hard is it to replace a coil pack? Hopefullly someone can help me I would hate to purchase this car and get screwed over. This will be my first drift car any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!

One last thing, is the price fair? I noticed the immense popularity of the SR20DET and I see them for sale alot but I did some research and I heard good things about the CA18DET. However not very cars are for sale with this engine so its hard to find what they are goin for on the market.

SR > CA. and 4500 is too much. But pics would help.

ill see if I can post pics of the car. he originally wanted $6000 and he did a price drop to $4500 since the he has the coil pack issue

by the way Chuki thanks for replying so quick. I appreciate it!

I say if you have 4500 to spend get something else that actually runs good. Never rush in to buy a car wait it out because when I bought my first 240, a couple weeks later there was a even better one for cheaper.

And ca18 240sx go for alot cheaper than sr swapped 240sx. Then again it also depends on condition and modifications. I would pay maybe 2900 for that car and that's if it was running good.
