Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I was looking at buying a local s14 off of craigslist. I only found a few around where I live (that I am interested in) and one I found seems like a good deal to me. Was wondering if it is worth the money due to some of the work it needs because I want to make it a daily driver and possibly to do some drifting on the weekends later on.

Thanks for any help/advice!

I feel it being called a "ex drift car" is a excuse for the condition that it is in:picardfp:

I'd spend more to get a more complete car even if the body isn't the best

body looks straight, but it appears to be on stock shocks, maybe lowering springs? i'd pay $500-750 for that thing. MAYBE $1K if you show up and it has zero dings or dents in it

I just got a good body and running S14 here in CO last week for a steal. You just have to be very patient. I've been looking for about a year!

Was it a automatic that needed a front end? Just wondering because there was one here but before I could get the money together it was sold

You should make your own decisions period!
Is anything worth the sticker price, Really? Negotiate, even if you decide you want it or like it!
You know even when you make a bad decision and own up to it, that builds character.

True but I don't want to get a car and have hundreds of problems with it that will be a waste of time and money and over pay way too much for it like 5 grand for a rust bucket beater

How come all the shit boxes you've posted are "drifty'??
Get a stockish or lightly modded 240 stop trying to buy a drift missile.

This is the closest to stock 240 in my state but it's a s13 and I would much rather have a s14
