Okay so I will be having knee surgery sometime soon (freak accident where gf kicks me in the knee... thank god it wasn't my nuts!!!)... I will not be able to drive anything but a car with an auto tranny for 6mos... after thinking about this along with the fact that I am going to buy a house in the very near future... AND that this car and all my past s14's have been money pits for me just like everyone else... I have decided to sell my s14.

Just felt like venting... and putting down some details for all anyone that might be interested... if you don't know the car... just search for it in the pic thread or in my posts. If you do know the car you know I take good care of it and spare no expense to make sure it's operating correctly... oh and it looks ok. Some minor details about the sale:

1. I WILL NOT be selling the car with the vskf's on it... if I do you will PAY for them.
2. I WILL NOT allow test drives without at $500 cash deposit and a signed test drive agreement.
3. I WILL NOT come out to meet you unless it is convenient for me.
4. I am not in a hurry to sell so if you don't have the money don't email me.
5. I don't want to trade for anything plus cash... I just want cash.
6. I don't care what you think about my asking price unless it's what you're willing to pay for my car.
7. I WILL NOT PART THE CAR OUT
8. I repeat I WILL NOT PART THE CAR OUT
9. did I say I WILL NOT PART THE CAR OUT

I don't see how your girl can fuck up your knee THAT bad....unless there is more to it. I knew you would sell the car eventually since you've done that in the past. Good luck with everything!

oh man. how much for the seats? i'm a noob and really like those seats alot. they'll look pimp in my sentra for sure!!! hehe..

about selling the car, it's all good. some things are more important, seriously. drifting wont go anywhere, especially if it's something we do for fun and not trying to be pro or anything. a HOUSE is way more special and way more fun to fix up. after a year or 2, when your house appreciates 200k+, you'll be laughing inside knowing you CAN take an equity on your house and build a 25k drift car with ease. it's sacrifice and i'm glad you're doing it. and if you don't.. that's all good too! haha..

(you can drive my car whenever you want if we ever goto the secret spot.. hehe)

If you're moving a thread, move it to the "CARS FOR SALE" section... not plain for sale.

Haha... if you knew the story about the knee (it's long) you'd understand. Basically she kicked me twice in the same knee... first time minor damage to my mcl (so no lateral movement), but I could still workout... then she kicked the same knee again (this time damage to my acl) so now I can't workout at all... I'm active and hate the fact that I can't get in the gym to workout... it was also painful to drive at times in traffic and trips of over 25min...

Anyways... sorry for posting in Chat... but I was just letting everyone know and venting... not really selling yet. I'm just trying to nail the price right for the 240 guys... it will be reasonable like everything else I sell so I don't expect lowball offers eventhough I know I will get them.

At this point I just feel this is the right thing to do since it's time for me to move on with the next part of my life... don't worry... I have mad love for the s14 so don't think I won't get another and do it up ASAP like FATLACE said... I just can't stand seeing the car sit for 6mos knowing there are other people that would appreciate it and use it for what it's intended.

If anyone has a no brainer offer you can send it to [email protected] and I'll think about it.

The VSKF's will be put up for sale... but the price will be firm... retail on these is about 3k (ask any work dealer if they can beat that price). I figure a 25% depreciation is in order on them since I daily pimp them... and I won't take into account the tires.

But yeah the price will be VERY reasonable on the car and I have already got some offers that I think are very fair. Just for those that don't know... I have used the car (drifted, roadraced, touge, etc)... but for those of you that have seen it... you know that it is maintained after each usage (ie detail, look over for any mechanical problems etc). I have about 9k in parts on the car right now (at a hookup value)... retail is much more (by retail I mean what most of you would buy it for even at a discount)... my time in the 240 community (since 1996 when I got my first s14) has enabled me to establish long lasting relationships with many dealers for parts... and I thank all of them for helping me out with this car.

I'll make it simple for you guys to throw an offer since it's so hard for me to put a number on it... the car is worth about 8k stock IMO... don't really care about the KBB and stuff like that... I think 8k is fair and reasonable... now take into account the aftermarket parts on the car and make your offer...

8k + aftmkt value = email offer to [email protected]

I ask that you don't email the offer unless you are serious and have the means to purchase the car. I will be using some of this $ for the surgery/therapy expenses since my insurance doesn't offer full coverage for it.

pics for those of you that don't know the car

Jay is a good guy and totally takes care of his cars. I know it must be hurting him to sell this one too. I have seen the last 3 S14's he has owned, they are all super nice. I have helped work on this one and know what kind of attention to detail he puts into his cars.

The lucky person that buys it will have a real nice, well maintained car. Not to mention all the best aftermarket parts available for it.

Good luck Jay!!!

Thanks Scott!

Mike, feel free to post the stuff that I told you I thought was wrong with the car... shoot lemme just c/p it here... please realize I'm super picky/anal so some of these things people might not even care about

Of course the car will pass smog... I plan to take care of this for the buyer before selling. The car is stock engine wise and it only has exhaust... I have a stock exhaust to throw on along with all of the cats (but none of them have been removed other than the dummy).

The only mechanical work I would say that needs to be done is a new radiator... I'm just the type that likes things done in a preventative nature... the current radiator is fine. But I do feel that the hoses need changing and I have already purchased them.

I don't want whoever purchases my car to think my car was crap when selling to them. Because of this I will be making sure there is nothing you or the buyer could potentially complain about. Here are a list of things that may or may not be fixed due to my procedure being scheduled... as well as somethings that may be missing or altered.

*Sound system (I will remove all of my aftermarket audio stuff since it's so much and a prefect circuit)
*Floor mats missing... car didn't come with any as I bought it used, got some walmart plasti's so carpet is AOK!
*Red cluster bulbs because I have sensitive eyes... they appear orange like the itr cluster
*minor scratches on the plastic rear interior panels from previous owner... I will try to sand them out and recondition before selling
*R32 seats have the mounting problem... you could weld an extension... but right now they are held in by 3 holed and one notched like the usual user
*tabs to hold speaker deck cover broken... still have a few to hold it in but it rattles cuz the others aren't there
*shifter boot a little weathered cuz of age.... but still in one piece
*ebrake boot modified/cut and alum/cf end attached... kinda ghetto but I did it as clean as possible (I will send detailed pics of the car to those interested you will see this)
*Missing engine diffuser (bottom) was old and flew off the car on the 5... won't replace this
*Wheel well liners gone becuase of wheel fitment/drop... will not replace
*Front FN01RC's are have little scratches on them from usage (matte black...I use a sharpie and nobody notices... can get a box of sharpies if you need them haha)
*Clutch pedal squeeks... no mechanical defect... just squeaks
*One rock chip on front windsheild
*Old tint adhesive on rear window... I'll try to googone this away before selling but no promises... I started it just need to finish
*Silencer missing... just ordered a replacement.
*Engine is dusty... I hate pressure washing haha... but I do wipe it down
*There are a few problems with the exterior right now that I will have fixed in the next week or so...
-Passenger side fender had an incident at altamont and lip edge is a bit messed up... but I will have this fixed/repainted.
-Drivers side fender minor dents from previous owner that I will have a paintless dent removal place fix this weekend... they didn't bother me, but I want to make sure there is nothing the buyer can complain about.
-Cracked side skirt... driver's side side skirt is cracked... minor and fixable... but again I will fix so the buyer won't complain
-Minor surface scratches... I will have the car externally detailed and these buffed out... just driftday/cone type deals
-small ding from 3rd gear cone on driver's side door bottom... barely noticable
-Daily driving driveway run ins... nothing too visible all on the bottom
-tiny rock chips here and there on front bumper from drives down to LA... I usually cover with blue tape when I drive down... but these are from LA driving and stuff.
-fiberglass curing scars... Version Select defect... the quality/fitment of this kit is excellent, but they did not let them cure 100% this is evident because of after paint... revealed some bubbles and stuff... nothing major... but it's there.
-minor scratches on the side skirts from opening/closingthe door... dunno how to avoid this haha

Don't want to waste anyone's time... I tried to list ALL of the things I could think of... that might be wrong with it... I think I should fix everything I "think" is wrong with it... then have someone else look it over and then I could give you the final details... but honestly there isn't anything else I could think of. Any other questions let me know.

Thanks for the interest!

-Jay
