COMPLETELY STOCK/ORIGINAL 95 Nissan 240sx-$8500 OBO

[DSMTraitor]

It's a 1995 Nissan 240sx base. It only has 89,000 original miles on it. As in the motor/tranny has not been touched it is the stock drivetrain that came from the factory. Just drove it up to New Hampshire (13 hours straight/800 miles one way) and didnt have ANY problems whatsoever it ran mint! Very well maintained. Have full carfax that goes back to since the car was purchased brand new. Both owners before me were old ladies. Have all the receipts of everything I have done to it. Car has NEVER been in an accident and the paint is GORGEOUS.

Body is 9.5/10 just because the rear windshield stripping is starting to come up but thats it and an easy fix. Drivetrain is 10/10. Interior is 8/10 just because of some stains on the carpet and on the way up to New Hampshire the dash got the infamous crack when I hit a bump.

Maintenance:
*basically all the previous owners did was change the oil religiously and coolant flushes. So when I bought the car I did this-*
-new Exedy OE clutch kit
-new OE belts
-new OE thermostat
-new OE air filter
-new NGK spark plugs
-new NGK plug wires
-new distributor cap
-new windshield wipers
-new coolant at 30k and at 86k
-oil changes EVERY 3k
-new REDLINE transmission fluid
-new clutch slave cylinder
-new valve cover gasket
-new REDLINE differential fluid
-CARFAX states that the fuel filter was changed at 30k
-just balanced the tires
-put a brand new ISIS MBSE Type-E catback and an ISIS testpipe on it but have the stock exhaust
-has a TOMEI 90mm shift knob but have the stock shift knob
I can put stock stuff back on if wanted.

Oh, you can't figure out how to post pictures but, you can figure out how to ask that ridiculous asking price huh? Good one.

[spooled240]

^what a dick..

OP upload the pics to a photobucket/flickr/etc. account and put the image URL in between the image tags. image url

[dizzariot]

$8500 for an all original unmolested car and this other dude is talking shit? Fucking figures. I hate you, Zilvia...











...I love you, Zilvia...

[CamberWear]

Pics or it didn't happen.. Photobucket.com brother!

[DSMTraitor]

I was going to say i didn't think that was too ridiculous seeing as anyone else would ask like $10k. I will set up a photobucket right now to get some up!

[DSMTraitor]

I was going to say it didn't seem too ridiculous since anyone else would be asking $10k or over. I'll make a photobucket and add photos tonight.

What a dick, are you selling the car? you dont like the price get out of the damn thread. SMH!

yeah definitely still tryin to sell it

[sidewaysil80]

What a waste of fucking bandwidth. OP I hate to burst your bubble, but Manheim/KBB/NADA have this at $2500. BUT, factor in the nostalgia, collector, and enthusiast aspect of it...I can easily see this being a $5-5500 car. To put it in perspective, 97 and 98's in similiar condition with similar mileage go for between $6-8k. This car is not a 97'-98' therefore you really REALLY need to lower your expectations and that asking price.

[Krazykouki]

What a dick, are you selling the car? you dont like the price get out of the damn thread. SMH!

I don't see how he's being a dick...it's not hard to read the rules that clearly state you must post pictures. Asking 8.5k for a completely stock 240sx that Blue books a quarter of the asking price is a little absurd.

Stock car = book value

Non-stock car = variable

[dudermagee]

Hey OP I'll trade you a set of wheels.

[240sx354]

Yeah what use is KBB if we dont follow it to SOME extent...

[xgongiveitoyuh]

Haha 8.5 talk about gnarly drift tax

actually the value of a 240sx is inversely proportional to the list of modifications UNLESS every single modification was done correctly in good taste.

So a completely stock 240sx is worth more than 99% of the sr20det swapped cars out there.

How many are properly swapped you ask? like three and a half.

[DJ 21o3]

OP, just hold on to the car for a couple years. Most people here can't afford a nice car and will hate on the price because of it. If a buyer deems the price worth it, they will pay it. If not, they will hate because they can get a trashed swapped "missile" car with a rust frame for 3k... all they care about is the 240sx badge and the engine.

[nissanhoe4show]

I sold my completely stock 100k mile 95' Zenki for 6k last year, so I can agree with ^^ ^^ about integrity and originality being worth more than a poorly done swap or poorly maintained car that has modifications.

I love how everyone quotes KBB value. When the FUCK has KBB ever taken 'popularity' into account? A whole bunch of cars in the 'scene' fetch more than KBB value. Subaru owners will pay double for certain years/versions and so will Honda guys. You silly little drift turds love your s-chassis, don't you? That's where prices come from.

Guys like this is the reason Zilvia has such a shitty community.

Back to Hondatech with you Milano Red.

[240sxkid223]

It's not a kouki not matter how clean it is how can you guys add so much drift tax haha fucck I'm thinking 5.5 6 tops glws

What does my current car have to do with anything? You're asking $8,500 for a 240sx, I wanna see some pictures. I don't think that's out of question.

ThANK you!!

My pockets aint empty cuz!

[exitspeed]

First, yes you need to post pics.

Second, so by your standards my buddy with a 95 Se with 30,000 miles is worth what $20,000?

[mechanicalmoron]

Of course original and un-touched is nice.

But there's a point where you could buy a fully built 240 with a v8, and still have fresh new stuff...

Besides, this guy started pulling things apart and sticking isis stuff on. Yeah, you can have a pile in your garage, but.... have fun with your rattly car that never goes back together the same.

there's a difference in that the Honda/subaru guys are willing to pay those ridiculous price but for a clean factory stock car that goes faster than the regular clean unmolested stock car.

[240sxvaj]

Post some pix.

Understood, but in our community it's different. It's a rarity to find an accident/drift-free chassis with a poorly done swap. Most well-built Subarus are in the garage sitting on epoxy floors and only see their redline on the freeway...on weekends.

Agree to disagree, I guess.

[DSMTraitor]

Been busy but i made a photobucket account and uploaded pics! the link is in the original post.

BTW i am brand new to forums in case you havent noticed gimme a break. and in response to everyone i have had plenty of offers for trades for cars booked at around $8k and cash offers but been waiting for right offer. i dont need to sell so i can be patient i just want another bike.

[niGht_kraWler]

Take your time, it will sell

[dizzariot]

Yeah man be patient. Dudes were offering my 5k for the cleanest SR'd hatch I've ever owned when I was asking 7.5k



I got my full asking price.

At what point did I or ANYONE else say use strictly kbb? I'm pretty sure I suggested a price of $5-6k BASED on the fact kbb is only $2500. This isn't a Supra or an NSX. Its an econo shit box fake sports car...the only people who are "collecting" them are broke teens or people in their 20's renting apartments living paycheck to paycheck. Those are the only people who give a shit about this car, sure there may be exceptions...but certainly not enough to justify $6000 more than book value every time a clean one comes up for sale.

no your right to some extent. its just i like a wide range of vehicles and i almost feel offended when you guys look down on other cars. But i get it few cars can drift like an s-chassis lol

i agree with you 100% on the price but man could you be a little more sensitive lol. Im shooting in the dark here so correct me if im wrong but it seems like you are a little bitter? I make minimum wage and am very poor but its not like i want a 240 or anything rwd just becuase its one of the only cars in my price range. just like the cars

[dizzariot]

sidewaysil80 is too good for the s-chassis. Here's where I tell you I'm not broke, not a teen, and I DO enjoy these cars for their history and character, but I digress. OP, no one wants your "piece-of-shit-econobox-fake-sports-car" because in the land of dick measuring and pulling superficial women they would fall short.

No one likes these cars for their rich history in Japan because that doesn't make sense -___-


...oh no! Now I'm a fanboi! Someone call the cool police!

[daniellluquin]

There are too many idiots in this world to pay that much lol but eventually some noob will pay glw the "over priced sale" : AN THATS A FACT

[dizzariot]

sidewaysil80...is that your car on the sumospeed link? You can't tell me you don't understand at least a little if it is. That car is flawless.

[DSMTraitor]

Yeah man be patient. Dudes were offering my 5k for the cleanest SR'd hatch I've ever owned when I was asking 7.5k

ya i know ill get atleast close to it if i just wait. just try and find another one like mine on the east coast atleast. but if you do prove me wrong and show me

[wafflez66]

And it's not even an SE

[dudermagee]

I paid about that much for my S14 Kouki SE w/28k original miles and 0 mods.

[charrington_74]

I dont have 8500 but i do have 10k will you will take that?

[derehego]

Man so many haters. 8500 OBO. It does say OBO for a reason; that is typically a starting price that no seller expects to actually get. Besides 8500 for an unraped, unmodded, 240 is really hard to come by in this day. I'd rather spend a little extra for a car that has been untouched so I know I'm not going run into and have to undo and fix Billy bob's jerry rig down the road. I've seen some muffed up 240s that are practically a rolling shell that that people want 2 or 3k for.

I'm certainly not too good for s-chassis cars, hell I'd trade my z if the right one popped up. But I'm sick of them being listed way too high on here and anytime someone points it out they're attacked by a bunch of teenagers saying "they're just hating cause they cant afford it." I can certainly appreciate a clean unmolested 240 but its outrageous to put them on a pedastal as if they're vintage porsches or classic muscle cars.

Regarding the sumospeed page, I'm not sure which car you're referring to. My last 240 was sold in 2012. Here's a link to its feature...

In retrospect that was a dick generalization to make and I apologize if I offended anyone. The point I was trying to make was that most old euro, muscle cars, etc. are being bought by people with LOTS of money. That's what is dictating their price and fair market value. 240's new were inexpensive even by todays standards and are sought after mostly by the younger crowd. Therefore there is no justification for some of the absurd asking prices that graze this forum. It's not wealthy people looking for them and driving the prices up lol. Are they worth more than book value for exceptionally clean and unmolested offerings? Sure, but that increase is based upon the collector market and income of those scooping them up.

One other thing, often the Supra is brought up to defend high prices as if its some defining example. A 98' Supra TT MSRP was over $40,000...a 98' 240's
was just over $18,000.

[Aspire818]

ThANK you!!

Trueeeee
8gs i wouldnt even sell mine and mine is stock for over 4gs

You have to remember that book value is to help the generic consumer. 99% of the people looking at 240's aren't the average consumer. People want the car for a reason, and those who dont care will glady by the rusty frame examples for book value. clean stock examples are more and more rare by the day, so price of a good example will go up and continue to climb as more people try drifting. if he brought that car the Illinois, it would easily sell for 7k. Why? Because we don't have clean rust free cars here in the midwest so they get a "rust free tax" applied.

To make you feel better, people justify the price by thinking what it would cost them to go buy a rust free car else where and drive it or ship it back here to Illinois. Yes i know the OP is elsewhere, but i am speaking from experience. Figure 800-1500 for shipping or driving, and that gives you 5-6k spent on the car itself (which people already admitted the car could sell for, including yourself). That doesnt include spending the $500-$1000 to fly down and see the car before they purchase it. They would rather spend all 7k+ upfront because the car is there infront of them instead of running all over the country to find the right car to bring back.

THAT is why i think it will sell for more than people expect, and price will continue to climb because the car already has a cult following that can lead to it being a classic. Then remember Supply and Demand.. The OP might not get his asking price right away, and I admit will probably have to come down a little but the car will sell for enough that he will be happy and a lot of people will look dumb for saying it was outrageous.

im fairly new to this community but im starting to see where your coming from with that supra example. idk but if i was planning on blowing 8k on a car with just a ka, id expect it to look like a show car or at least some quality parts in it.GLWS

according to the window sticker for my 98 msrp was over 25k.

I rather buy a clean low mileage car than a modded one even at a premium. I mean make an offer for those interested. worse he could say is no. if it doesnt sell he'll lower the price at some point.

So was the TT z32 and how much are those going for now? How much was an ae86 GTS corolla in 1985 and how much are those going for now? And the corolla is more of a econo shit box than the s14..

well thats due to initial d obviously. Also i think its faster than 240 on a downhill stock for stock so maybe this why they are worth more but who knows

[I_bang_u]

I'll offer you market retail value price $3100?

[spooled240]

right, much like how the rise of the s14's popularity in recent years has inflated prices.

[DSMTraitor]

Im not even bothering arguing with anyone. I do not NEED to sell the car, i know i will not get my asking price and YES i know the price is overboard god damn, i am well aware of that lol, but someone will be willing to pay close to it if not now someone eventually will, i rarely daily it to keep the miles low, I am going up to New Hampshire for the summer, which if no one knows it is IMPOSSIBLE to find any car that doesnt have rust even one thats only been through one winter up there, so if it doesnt sell down here i know i could get my asking price or close to it up there. especially when they see it lived in NC and VA its whole life. did i miss anything?

[dizzariot]

...but look at all those free bumps, doe :trogdor:

[BooStedS13SleePeR]

I got a 90 SE hatch with 77k original miles and has never seen a flake or a grain of salt. Wonder what thats worth LOL.... Well GLWS ive seen stranger things happen.
