Clean, price seems steep for an auto though

Clean, price seems steep for an auto though

I hear what you are saying but I would rather buy a 5 speed clutch pedal for a cherry car than a whored out "drift" car thats been raped like a Catholic alter boy.

Had to for shits and gibbles don't need to sell and know the lowballers roaming the forum always begging to drop the price in half....

Would take 6000

[Purestock240]

is that ugly black door ding strip OEM?

[91sil80]

good turbo ka canditate!! GLWS

[KravingAKouki]

Damn, me likey. Only if it were stick shift. I would still consider it though since it seems nice. Bring it to IL? Jk, GLWS man

[nyc240sx]

Free bump buy his car and I have a 5 speed swap..the motor is 100 times better when its running off a auto tranny..some of you don't realize this. If I had the money I would get this in a heartbeat

[chriskilla2]

2nd on the strip thing, that shit freaks me out.. nice car man glws sir

[D1S13]

I've only seen the strip on a hand full of 240's in my 10 years working with Nissan's. That doesn't make me an expert but this is not the only one i have seen, therefore likely an option from dealer. Car was purchased from dealer by my neighbors grandmother who recently passed. I've witnessed car in their garage for the last 6 years I've lived at my residence. These were cell phone pics probably do not do car justice. Only modification is the radio

[ST(I)mpreza]

Yeah that strip is sketchy, but easily removable, this is a super clean Kouki, free BUMP!

[jamanrr]

so you take a 1500-2000 dollar car and try to get 7 grand for it. the only thing making that not worth it is the minus SE package and the automatic. You might get 4-5 grand for it though. glws.

:picardfp:

your ignorance baffles me, but point intended

Demand refers to how much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers. The quantity demanded is the amount of a product people are willing to buy at a certain price; the relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand relationship.The correlation between price and how much of a good or service is supplied to the market is known as the supply relationship. Price, therefore, is a reflection of supply and demand.

make that money, son.

it is just funny to see how much these go for out west, that is all. In the Mid west/ mid south at auctions that car would not bring 3500 dollars if that. oh and why don't you post up what you paid for it. glws

[onehundredoctane]

Starting with a non-ragged out auto is the only way to go with later model S14's, bought mine off a lady in South Carolina, converted it to a 5 speed and even with 200k miles on it the tires still bark between first and second gear all day. Anyone can buy an old ragged out 5 speed and call it a day, but 9 times out of 10 if you start off with an auto car the engine hasn't been beat on and is still in good shape.

qft, but don't give away the secret that a 5-speed swap only takes 3 hours and costs less than $400.

You're smoking crack or have really shitty expectations
if you think that a proper, conservative at that, 5 speed swap on a 97-98 s14 is only $400
I've done my share of 5 speed swaps and it's a complete day without problems doing it on a lift with all the right tools at your disposal

[idahotuner]

i have never done a 5 speed swap, but i dont see how it could be hardat all. install pedal and reservoir and hook up line to tranny? few hours.?

[jamanrr]

it is not a 5 speed swap, it will be 5 lug spindles plus a VLSD which I do not think base models even with autos have. I could see 7 or 8 grand for a clean SE.....

[Driftingcorners]

The auto and non 5 lug hubs kill the car, however it is very clean. I much prefer the base model cluster vs the ugly se white cluster.

[filluptieu]

I believe the price is fair for the condition. To bad its not an SE though.

The only thing that sucks is having to make sure you get the S14 trans that had the sensor on top of the bellhousing. I'm sure by now someone smart has gotten around it and installed an S13 trans on and S14, but some of us like to keep things close to factory if possible. The biggest pain I would have to say was getting to the spot on the firewall to drill the holes for the clutch pedal and the clutch master cylinder rod to connect to the pedal.

[D1S13]

Finding an original owner Slick top willing to sell is hard enough much less an SE

I have done enough 5 speed and 5 lug swaps and even have all the necessary parts at home but preferred not to touch it unless I'm going to keep it.

[ManoNegra]

for shits and giggles:
new manual flywheel bolts
new manual trans bellhouse bolts
new clutch (or are you going to install a used one?)
transmission mount bracket
driveshaft
clutch pedal (s13 won't work without modifications)
cut or replace brake pedal
need 97-98 ECU to clear MIL light (not abundant)
need s14 speed sensor that only dealer sells new
new master/slave cylinder
new pilot bushings
not to mention new fluids
and the snags that you can't plan for

It may not make sense to you, its a Man thing these are our toys.

Well said! :l101: If there is demand for a product, the price is at the seller's discretion. For example, it is like a gallon of gasoline. Sure it can be $1.50-2.00 but nahhhhh supply and demand exist and that's why it's priced where it is currently at. People don't want to pay for it but if they really want it they will.

3 classes away son!

What's your major bro? I'm going for my MBA in Business Management and Entrepreneurship. Still have a year left.

Back to the original subject, the car looks clean as hell! GLWTS Bump!

I was agreeing to your response telling the other dudes cars are like toys, we do it because that's what we like. It may not make sense why we buy/spend what we do but to each his own, regardless of price or market value....

[jamanrr]

he is/ was talking about me and yes I consider my 08 STI GR wagon a toy which holds its value. I am still scratching my head trying to figure out who would pay 7 grand for a stock base 240 with 70 thousand miles on it. to each their own though and glws

Thanks buddy and remember today's lesson is demand for a product is worth whatever price the consumer is willing to pay.

Tomorrow's lesson is inflation and why It's beneficial for our economy.
Understanding how inflation affects our economy is key to grasping how our system truly works. However, the first step in this process, though, is learning more about the general nature of inflation.

Long story short do u believe, imported cars are "worth" what they are sold for?
Yes and no, worth what the buyer is willing to pay, to each his own...

you are a funny one, just keep to your online Phoenix U degree.

I have 2 business degrees including an MBA which you coveted and am in medical school right now. I see what cars go for on here and then I see what they go for in auctions and sites like craigslist and autotrader. If I wanted a stock 240 that is where I would go. I applaud you trying to make 2-3 times your money back on this car but the supply and demand which you claim to know so much about does not apply to this car. For if it did then it would not take you 6 months to find some willing to pay 5 grand and probably a year before you find someone willing to pay 6-6.5 for it. I believe it would deal more with another concept you learned in business school.

the time value of money.

[Z350MAN]

6k is a good price for an unmolested car, especially a 97 hardtop. These are getting harder and harder to find. I paid 4300 for a 96 hard top auto with 76k miles on the clock in 2008, which I still have. There is something about buying a virgin car like this that give you piece of mind. I would not budge from 6k... not even a dollar. my .02

[KravingAKouki]

:faint: Who would've know a damn for sale ad would turn into life lessons. I like the car alot (even tho it is auto), but damn, I am loving these lessons. GLWTS man, i think your asking price is definitely fair. That is the point of an obo, you gotta start somewhere

[Hellother]

time value of money for the win

[godrifttoday]

Might as well sell for less now! A year from now the 6000 dollar would be worth less!! Take it and run with it!!

Apologies then, I misread your tone
I was originally responding to the guy that thinks a few hundred dollars and hours is all it takes to do a 5 speed conversion on a kouki

yes, these cars are too much to most people
specially the newer bandwagon jumpers that are accustomed to cheap and crap upgrades

You are too educated to act as a noob while roaming threads to drop your worthless .02 wishing someone would care or agree with you. :l101::l101::l101::l101::l101::l101::l101:

Put those TWO stellar business degrees to work next time you decide to make a ridiculous comment which nobody agrees with obviously your input was never needed nor requested.

But this is the internet so :gives:

[Kevin920415]

stop putting stuff that doesn't even relate to the car. Obviously this car is rare and hard to find even if it is automatic and 4 lug. its low miles, too bad I dont have the extra fund for a s14 but glws bro!

[CleanAndLegit]

6k good price, bump , looks nice and clean
