As the title says im looking forward to buy a 1992 240sx hatch tomorrow and want to ask you guys your opinion on price and or anything i should look for?

I really like the car and around my area is the cheapest and better taken care of i could find. most are beat up and have lots of issues..

My concerns are:

It has 247k miles :eek2: but the owner said it runs flawlessly and that he used it to commute for 5 years. Has an average of 12.5k miles per year or so. Lots of miles kinda scare me...

Holds a clean title and has passed smog here i california a week ago. It looks like it hasnt been abused and interior is in really good shape.

Has cold AC and heater works. its a DOHC and a 5 speed.

Asking price is $3200 OBO he wont take less than $2800 and he will give me an un cracked dash and camber kit brand new also a spare muffler.

What do you guys think of this deal? worth it or not? need to decide by tomorrow to know if worth buying or not and who else btter to ask than u guys.

any help highly appreciated!!!!!

I don't think this deserves its own thread. I see to many of this they should make a thread for car buyers help, instead of wasting so many new post asking for help on buying use car so many times...

247k on a ka is nothing check seals before you buy see if it leaks any oil.

I see 2500$ honestly at most
But just check everything I mean seriously take your time and look over everything and bring to his attention every flaw you find.
That will help him understand the offer you are making is based after what you see. Tell him you're not nit picking but you are buying a car and you need to know everything you can about it. You want to know how much extra cash its going to take for you to get it to where you feel comfortable with it.

i see where u coming from, but considering it passed smog and has a few extras like the dash which i can sell, camber kit, muffler and also a NRG quick release steering wheel and AC and heat working, is 2500 really what u think its worth? im curious about your comment just want to know what made u say that number, hopefully you can help me out. minds decided i will get a 240 but dont wanna buy some junk. ive owned more than 8 cars and I'm bearly 18 worked at mechanic shops so i know how to check cars but not as familiar with the KA engine like most of you guys are, i want to check common issues these cars have and how to check the engine throughly. Here at the CA valley and bay area its really hard to find a nice looking dent free 240 for that money and most dont have ac or are gutted... looking for a nice clean car just now mods will come later. Do you think 247k is a lot of miles enough to walk away? or there nothing on a KA like agent s14 said.

Let me know, thanks for the help!!

^^This^^ and that's only if you feel like you will die if you can't have it.

I personally would congratulate him on passing smog, then tell him to keep the strut tower bar, camber plates etc and lay out an offer of $1400-1500... Because that's all a 92" 240 is worth nowadays

Unless you're mechanically inclined, I would highly staying away from a high mileage KA, only because like any car, that is way past the point of when you should start replacing parts.

Based on the engine bay, the owner did a little tinkering himself. Unless he's a mechanic or had a professional work on it, I wouldn't be quick to say the car runs well or that everything is correctly installed.

Anyway, I see $2,200-$2,400 at most. I really think $2,000 is where the car is at but if this car is going to be your daily, having it already pass smog is a huge plus especially since you're also in California.

2.2k.. Check the frame rails very closely. I wouldn't pay more then 2k because there are plenty of other cars out there that will be cleaner. Take your time and find something clean.

I paid 1800 for my 95 Zenki with 130k. Pointing out every flaw I found. You just have to know how to bullshit the bullshitter. She was asking 3500. I lol'd at her and her bf.

2500$ would be top
I personally wouldnt pay any where near that number
I bought my hatch, running car with a Sr
told him to pull the motor and I bought it for 500$

My girls coupe she just bought for 1600$ and I think she over payed. I offered the guy 1400$, he had it listed for 2750$.

like I said its all in the condition of the car overall and how bad you want it
at the end of the day your a kid who wants a car you feel confident owning so honestly it's all up to you. Just be sure you look that car over damn good because I've looked at hundreds of 240s and there is ALWAYS something wrong that they aren't mentioning. Good luck

yeah that was my first impression that it was over priced but over here at the bay everyone is just asking way to much for their 240's i just sold my gst and 3000gt and just want a RWD car now, find the 240 interesting and im really trying to stay under $3000 no matter what. Hopefully if i could find a good running one for that price anywhere near the bay i would be happy, looking more for an s14 but like i said i seen some for over $4k easy and smog IS a big deal here where im at so thats something else to consider.

I guess ill pass on this one, thanks for what you guys told me i was going to regret buying this if i didnt start this thread. If someone by any chance happens to be in the bay or central valley and has a clean 240 for under 3k PM me and we can work something out. Just thought i would throw that out there..

Damn that's waay too much!!! body is clean tho, I would guess 1800 so he doesn't get offended lol. I swear the prices of 240's have gone waaay up, every stock ass 240 is worth 3K now days!?! I remember when I got my S14 for 1500 with 120k on the KA, that was about 5 years ago lol.... Good luck, dude I would advise to take a trip down to LA I saw an S14 for 2000 a while ago with 150K, so it might help to come out of the yay area!!!!

12-20-2012, 03:35 PM
For reference, I got my s14 in San Francisco for $2700 with 140k on the clock and no mods (passed smog easily). It was (and still is)a very clean car, but even then, there were problems I noticed once I started to really get my hands dirty and do some maintenance. I had to fix all types of lil things like the leaky oil pan, the bushings were shit, shocks were completely blown, exhaust had some holes on it, etc. these are basic wear and tear, but its an old car, so its to be expected. (and i was planning to replace all of those things anyway, lol)

With that said, the car is only worth what you are willing to pay, so if you dont mind paying what hes asking, then just get it. However, if it was me, I would def talk the guy down or wait for another 240 if you can.

Have any of you ever priced out any other cars?

Your not finding V8 5spd Mustang GT's for $300.

Your not finding SW20s for $1000

Ever looked at what E30s go for?

I see a car that runs and drives, looks rust free, has ok paint, and $1000 in wheels. Ok, the motor is tired - swap it.

If the OP is worried about "issues" and "Reliability" he should not be buying a 25 year old sports car.

Reliability and issues is something a swap or regular maintenance should take care of, every time i get a car i deep deep clean interior/exterior/engine bay and replace anything that looks old like hoses or vacuum lines. Replace timing components if necessary or not done yet. Fix even the smallest leak there is, do coolant flush use top brand name fluids and know what I'm driving. I always spend around $600 to do all this in parts and fix everything at a friends shop. So ill be glad to end up with a nice 240sx after i do all this.. meaning spend 2k-2.5k and do my work to it.

Only concern about looking outside my area is knowing if the car will make its way back home in one piece :/

I didn't make it up, so couldn't tell ya.

E30's are extremely reasonable around me. As far as the stang, I'd have no clue as I've never even looked at the price of one.

I respectfully disagree. I bought my 92' in 2009 for bluebook value (about $2K at the time). Now book value ranges between 900 - 1500. Technically, that's ALL they are worth; and there is no reason to pay any more than that, unless it's got more than a strut bar and some fuzzy dice going for it.

The popularity price hike of 240's (*Drift Tax) has nothing to do with what they are actually worth, and everything to do with people allowing themselves to get buttraped price-wise so they can get their hands on a 240. Kinda like people selling Geo Metros for 5-digit prices during the gas price hike... the cars themselves had next to no actual value, but the legendary fuel economy was enough to get people to pay more than they were worth.

I personally would never pay said 'drift tax' for the same reason I wouldn't buy a Stang for more than KBB says it's worth... again- unless the mods warrant the higher price.

Drift Tax is definitely an annoying phrase lol... but I understand it.

I still need a BOV and shocks and struts and hopefully she will run smooth. Mods

I bought mine for 1500, and I see other's around for the same price. Usually lowered one way or another, wheels, and a 'fancy' steering wheel. Like I said originally though, it's not always the same for areas as extremely different as ours.

Just recently 240sx's became a hot commodity in the south and DAMN did I rack up on that. I sold a green sohc hatch for 2k, not running!

Hey i got another question for you guys. .. Found another 240sx and this one seems like a better deal. Body wise its beat up kinda but this is EXACTLY what i was looking for...

97 Nissan 240sx SE real kouki
Salvaged title
108,xxx original miles
Automatic :/
Has working sunroof
Stance GR Pro+ full coilovers
Seibon carbon fiber hood
B-magic 20 or 30 mm over fenders
17x8 Mustang Bullitts
6k HID
Exhaust

Asking 3500 but brought him down to 2500 and said not one penny less.
He said he gots smog done last month but he has to look for the paper.

Car needs:
-Paint all over
-Driver door
-Driver side mirror
-Kouki front signals
-Grill
- Has 2 what looks like shitstang rims and 2 donuts
-Has radiator core support damage.....

KBB has a low value of $4200 and high $5200 then again its salvage title.. doesnt know why, just seems to be hit up front but no specific details. Im planning on going tomorrow at 10am to check it out but the help from zilvia.net has been amazing hopefully you guys can tell me if this sounds reasonable to pay for or whatever you guys think.

Thanks!

If you buy a car just cause it's going to have a better resale value, then go and buy a BMW, AUDI or Porsche etc. I would not get a Mustang over my 240. My 240 can out handle and outrun Most mustangs at my power level. When I was living in Miami I was stomping on my friends Cobra's with bolt-ons and my car just had a stock SR at 7PSI. Mustang brakes are horrible, reliability is down the drain. They were always fixing stuff on them cause they kept breaking down.

To OP, just get a 240 that you feel comfortable with. When I got my 90 S13 about 8 years ago I payed 1k and it came with a KA24DE running good. I really didn't know much about these cars but when I saw it I just wanted it. That S14 doesn't look too bad for the price, again look every where for rust and point out every detail you may see wrong or what not.

After seeing this, I think it's time to close this thread now.

You can find a cheap 240 that is beat to shit for half the price you're willing to spend. Buy a beat to shit chassis, get it running with the rest of your money, live happily until you drift into a parking column.

Now stop asking which car to buy, you obviously don't want to take advice from people that used to be like you and have learned their lessons. Nobody here with knowledge and experience here is going to tell you something that won't benefit you.

Big shocker import fan hates domestics, makes up some dumb stories about "my friend's" and "reliability"... let me just wander over to the tech section and see how no 240 owner has ever had to work on their piles. :cj:


Also, BMW, Audis and Porches have terrible resale value. If you want resale, buy a Wrangler, Tacoma or FJ Cruiser.

A 240sx actually has fantastic resale value because it's BOTTOMED OUT. I don't understand why you idiots think a car should be worth less then it's scrap value, especially as you bitch about it being nearly impossible to find a clean unmolested example.

I bought my first 240 for $2,600. It was my second car, it had a semi healthy sohc. I beat the shit out of it and added parts along the way, it had megan track coilovers, quick release hub mint pignose and lip, and flawless body. I sold it for $1200 only that much because of the coilovers, I live in spokane and knowing what I know now i honestly wouldn't spend more than $2,000 for a stock high mileage 240. I picked up my second 240 for $600 with a mint body and uncracked dash for $600 the sohc had fuel mixing with the oil, but it was a bad fpr and the iacv plug was on the injector#2 and the injector plug was on the iacv, after that it was a clean running rust free 240 for $600. I completely ignore people that tack on drift taxes lol. It's still a 20+ year old car, and almost every 240 i've seen had had a problem somewhere.

Ive seen a red kouki with black rims and s14 spoiler yesterday. Btw i bought the 97 240sx already just today. Came down from sac and ran pretty good, seems to be in good shape gonna start ordering parts and make it look better from day one the project begins!!! :coold: I have the black s14 that i said i was going to get in this thread payed $2500 for it only because it had over 1k in the stance coilovers, brand new kouki headlights, Drilled n slotted rotors and low miles on it and a few more upgrades...and ran really good. Had smog done last month burns fuel really clean but needs a tuneup HC came out kinda high..

And as for what i need... idk of you can hook it up but ima need a few parts for this project and to source them its kinda trucky since i prefer local pickup than shipping.
Need a driver door s14 with a working window motor, corner lights kouki, kouki grill, any let me know any other aftermarket parts like steering wheels, seats, etc.. 5 speed swap will be done in january hopefully...

If you'll need parts, a good idea is to make a wtb posting in the proper section. You'll get lots of hits. Good luck :)

Drift tax has gone up! I got one 90 hatch with 90k miles in 2003 for $900 on autotrader! Got my other 90 hatch with no motor/trans for $200 in 08.

as far as "all stangs are garbage", some people are uneducated on the 03-04 svt cobras.
