So i have somebody who wants to trade 2 cars for my 240. I honestly see mine at about 6.5k. I'm leaning towards a no for the trade mainly because i'd have to sell them if i went through with it and they dont look like easy sells and maybe not worth it. Guess im just looking for a second opinion. This is all the info he's given me.

your car is probably worth $3.5 k but I wouldn't give 2 cents for an eclipse keep your 240 put on some wheels and paint it then sell it for 6k

LOL i hear ya on that one. Well the only positive to not having a "reliable" car is that you can learn how to work on your own car/cars.

Just tell him to sell them and come back with cash. It's pretty hard to sell a piece.

I see you've been trying to sell your car for awhile. SO imagine trying to sell those pieces. You may get 2500 for both.

^ that s13 isnt his its the guy that wants to trade he has that clean s14

Damn, thanks for pointing that out. My fault OP, I was assuming the s13 was yours. I'd hang on to the s14. The s13 and eclipse look god awful, and if you're having as hard of a time selling the s14 as you are, you'd just be making things harder on yourself.

I would only trade for something better. Meaning don't trade for those two cars. Keep yours and pick up an older civic that's what I did. Got a 93 civic Hatch gets 40 MPG and starts every time.

No offence...but how did you come up with 6.5k?
DinoMan
10-25-2011, 06:48 AM
Bought it stock 2.5k, sr swap a good 4k+, and the s15 front was about 2k. Then just the fact you never completely get out of it what you put into it.

$6500
Seems like a fair price for a s14.5 with a sr20

Yeah miles on the body are high. But I see people pay 4000 for stock body 89 s13s with an SR and 180k miles.

Idk why you bumped this, but that eclipse gives DSM's a bad name.... POS 420a Riced crap

That 240 looks like it was built by the lowest bidder and no self respecting dsm owner EVER puts a body kit on their car. Period. If it was a bone stock 99 gsx awd with low miles and that ka-t setup was clean, in your position i'd consider it but i'd rather hold out for cash. Shit, your front end conversion alone is probably worth that gst....if it's even a gst. it could be a na car with a turbo kit on it and those motors are a far cry from a 4g63t. You MIGHT get $3k for the ka-t car, honestly i'd be the one to lowball 2500 because that paint job is disgusting and the engine bay looks thrown together despite a stout parts list. You would have to fight to get more than $2500 for the eclipse. gsx holds it's value somewhat if condition is kept og or fully built with taste. GST's are mostly destroyed by ricers because of FAF. Same with alot of s13's running around. See movie. Build shitty car to look cool. Both are piles of shit compared to your s14.
Dont.
