1990 S13 Hatch, 67k original miles, original 5 speed, lady driven

[Finkingtons]

Up for sale is my 1990 S13 hatch. Starting with some history about the car, it was bought brand new by an elderly woman, this car was her baby. I have a ton of receipts for maintenance that she had done on the car. She passed the car down to her son who garaged the car for a few months due to a faulty master cylinder and him not being mechanically inclined. He then sold the car to his classmate who fixed the master cylinder, car now runs and drives perfect. I bought the car from him. Shifts through all the gears perfectly as well. Yes, has 67k original miles. Original 5 speed from the factory, not manual swapped. Never drifted, tracked, or beat on. The car was very well taken care of and I would love to see it go to a good home.

Exterior of the car isn't perfect, but it's original. Has never been resprayed or anything. There's some rust on the rear hatch and the passenger side fender, both of which are easily replaceable. Wheel wells are rust free which are more common and would be more of a problem. There is a dent behind the driver side door, but definitely wouldn't take much to get it pulled out and fixed. Interior is very clean, there's a small tear on the driver side seat but other than that, it's gorgeous. Dash is completely uncracked. Automatic seat belts work, sunroof works with no leaks, cruise control works. AC doesn't work, most likely just needs a recharge.

This is an excellent example of a well taken care of S13. With a little work, it could be rust free and worth a lot more. I would love to keep the car and restore it to a showroom condition stock S13, as it would be a perfect candidate. My asking price is $5,500, pretty firm. It's fairly difficult to find this low mileage of an S13 that's an original 5 speed and hasn't seen the hands of any drifting enthusiasts.

[dizzariot]

I'm all for original cars. To a fault, even...but you may have a hard time at that price point with the SOHC and faded paint.

Nice to see a low mileage car. I hope the right buyer comes along to save it.

Nevermind the huge rust hole in the hatch and fender.

I can't imagine buying a rusted stock S13 at that price point when you can go down south and buy one without that rot.

An OEM fender and hatch can be acquired with both little effort and funds lol. At that point, the car is rust free. And sure, you could buy one down south with 150k miles, on its 2nd KA, and thats been passed around too many people to recall. A damn good portion of 240's are sold to people who don't even know whats all been done to it for the same price as this, except with a fiberglass rep bodykit and a rocket bunny wing, yay. A combination of having receipts for all work thats been done to this car with a fully known history, factory 5 speed, without ever have been drifted or abused makes this car worth it to the right person.

[Standard]

^Agree with op, it's worth what someone will pay, but the asking price for a car like this in the Midwest is fair in my opinion. Glws!

Lol same pictures and everything

[TheRealSy90]

With the amount of rust in the fender and hatch I think you'd be better off posting pictures of the underneath of the car to show that it's not totally rusted out.

[Jo_Galezo]

Lol same pictures and everything



Lol yeah unless they’re both his post & he just listed it higher here. Who knows 🤷🏽*♀️

Hahahaha! Response is priceless :naughty:

Now, I am all for people making a quick buck or two, but this is highway robbery if you want someone to pay that much for a SOHC rusted to hell 240sx. I am also pretty positive he didn't pay $3500 and no one in their right mind would pay that much for that much rust on a SOHC 240sx.........If you did, that is a personal problem.

It's like buying jeans already ripped with holes galore because "cool".........You are paying so much more $$ for even less car (since half of it is probably rusted away anywho) due to being "cool" lol!

GLWS OP. You're gonna need it.........

[RalliartRsX]

Also, body is three different shades of red.......

There is one on the book of faces with ZERO rust, great paint and a DOHC and he went from 9K......to 8K........to struggling to get 5K. I cannot image this going for more than .25cents because of scrap value :D

Why does no one seem to care when this is done with small auction parts but an angry mob forms when it’s an entire car?
What’s the difference?
Legitimately curious.

Right? I’ve seen lights covers go for $200+ on here yet no one seems to be bothered [emoji23]

I’m not sure what covers you are referring to.

Why are sellers, “parts flippers”, and general yaj scum praised for being hustlers and educated entrepreneurs and market gurus but then this guy does the exact same thing and now it’s suddenly a big deal and okay to bash him in his for sale thread?

[TheRealSy90]

Probably because the car is rusted to shit and he thinks it's a gem. Sure, the interior is nice. The rest is junk.

[Hoshino]

So if it’s junk parts from yaj it’s okay as long as the scumbag doesn’t “think it’s a gem”?

I don’t think that’s different than xxxxxxx selling an old, cracked, junk shift knob and saying “super rare jdm just needs a bit of clean up.”
Sounds similar to “Super low miles and stock just needs a bit of clean up.”

That is exactly the same as xxxxx selling broken ganadors and rusty/cracked hitman steering wheels.
Sold cheap as junk by the original owner, repackaged as super cool jdm for double the price.
Same same.

Sorry don’t mean to jack this thread into a discussion but I think we all knew no car was being sold here lol.

[s13driftnut]

Man, I clicked this in high hopes for legitness......I got unlegitness instead.....

[Eddiemac]

This looks like a decent $2500 240. Of course there's always the possibility that single cam is really an sr20 in disguise and the rust holes are just stickers for street cred.... Then it's obviously worth $5500

Who you should be mad at are the buyers of said product. No market for product?? Then people won't charge $500 for a set of mirrors which serve no purpose apart from getting Insta likes.......

Simple economics. People wouldn't charge so much if sheep didn't buy the product. I think your concern is displaced IMHO.

However, this is Zilvia, the land of $700 light up running boards and $800 broke mirrors :naughty:

Also, I do not visit the classifieds for mirrors and other "JDM" product, so the odds of an uproar (atleast in my case) are drastically reduced due to
1) Not really giving a damn about Nismo, JDM or whatever
2) My frequency to visit.

You are also making a blanket assumption/generalization..........

The buyers I’ve run into have been upset that they have been swindled into paying high prices for items they were told were clean and working.
Why should I be angry at consumers who are upset they’ve been ripped off and lied to by a scumbag?
Do you get mad at yourself when people lie to you? Your concern should be with how dumb you were to fall for their lie.. eye roll.

“Simple economics”. LOL these are literally two in the same scenario happening in front of you and your excuse is, “I look at cars, not nismo”

I’m not sure whether to laugh at you or shake my head.

Also, no shit I’m making a blanket statement hahaha do you want me to go back to the thread and call out everyone by username?
You probably remember them all lol.
Use more dots, I’ll take you seriously......................................... ..........

[RalliartRsX]

Ok, now you are conflating several different issues here..........

1) Being swindled by folks who lie about items. That is a entirely different issue than someone flipping an item. That is also why you the onus lies on the buyer to make sure to confirm yourself the items are indeed as advertised. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE! is a simple term. Also, DO NOT PAY BY GIFT! Once people fall into a combination of those categories, I simply have no empathy. P.S no one is putting a gun to your head forcing you to buy said item at such a high price. It's your money and your choices, stop putting blame to others for the choices you make. Simple. I pay via Paypal, I document every single item that is sold and bought by myself (pics, etc as I know how shitty people are) and Pay via Paypal "goods and service" for buyer protection. It really is that simple.......

BTW, the above has nothing to do with this item for sale (being lied to). The seller has very clear pictures of the rust and as such has stated it in his thread explicitly, so I am not sure what you are referring to in terms of condition as he was being very straighforward?

2) Don't pay high prices for items like mirrors. Stop giving shit about Insta likes and hard parker status. And stop trying to appease folks like Hoshino with my "made type JDM side skirt and light up side mirrors"

3) Don't live above your means; Cars are shitty investments. If you do not have the liquidity to pay for a high demand/high dollar item you either a) don't buy it, b) make more money to buy it, c) Stop dumping $$ into cars or d) Go bitch on a thread on Zilvia until your rep is consists of blocks of red.

Thanks for playing.

[Hoshino]

1. This dude is leaving out a majority, if not the entirety of his personal experience/story with the car and is also lying about the cleanliness and the maintenance provided on the vehicle.
This is exactly the same as someone who buys a part on yaj and has the same excuses.
“Has some rust, just needs a bit of polish!”

2. I never have paid high prices for mirrors. I’m not sure why you are assuming I am trying to “appease myself with made type”? Wtf does that even mean?? Hahaha

3. Now you’re way the fuck out in left field. Being a shitty person isn’t really effected by your victims income lol. You can be a scumbag to rich people or poor people, you’re(sellers) still a scumbag

I know, once you’re proved wrong again you’re going to run right back to the “waaah all you do is complain stop complaining!”
I’m being honest. If you can’t handle that or comprehend that than I can’t help you.
I look forward to your nonsensical reply.

[RalliartRsX]

1) He provided pics
2) He said it is rusty
3) He said he is only had it for a short while (so personal experience point is moot)
4) He said he has all the receipts for maintenance from the prior owner
5) Please explain to he how is lying when is states.........


Exterior of the car isn't perfect, but it's original. Has never been resprayed or anything. There's some rust on the rear hatch and the passenger side fender, both of which are easily replaceable. Wheel wells are rust free which are more common and would be more of a problem. There is a dent behind the driver side door, but definitely wouldn't take much to get it pulled out and fixed. Interior is very clean, there's a small tear on the driver side seat but other than that, it's gorgeous. Dash is completely uncracked. Automatic seat belts work, sunroof works with no leaks, cruise control works. AC doesn't work, most likely just needs a recharge.

What else, in addition to pics, do you want him to disclose?? He said he has receipts, he said it has rust, it has been shown he hasn't owned the car for a long period of time, so personal experience is all from the prior owner.

Look, the fact that people called him out on price vs cleanliness, means that he actually posted a full disclosure post. If you cannot see that and buy it anyway, then I ZERO sympathy.

There are ZERO lies in his post. Yes, his definition of clean vs Zilvia's may be a little skewed, but he is pretty up front with both condition and price.

You are buying a used 30 year old Nissan, not a concurs edition Ferrari. To expect the seller to disclose every nook and cranny (for a car he has owned for what seems to be several weeks to a few months) is just being naïve.

P.S The word you are looking for is "affected", "your"

Goodluck to sir.

[Hoshino]

I didn’t say he’s lying about things that are easily visible. I said he’s leaving out the part where he says “I don’t know much at all about the history of this car, I bought it as cheap junk in craigslist and am flipping it for profit to someone who doesn’t know any better”
Implying that he’s owned the car for a while or knew the owner is teetering on the brim of swindling.

While you can continue to argue about out of context words and economics, the question still stands;
Why is it okay to do this with yaj parts but not a full car?
It’s oiterally the exact same process with a different item for sale.
I don’t understand how you can flip flop so quickly because of size of item in question..?

“Eating meat is good for you and taste great but if it’s a really large cow, fuck you that’s not alright.”

[TheRealSy90]

What I was trying to say was pictures of the underneath of the chassis and frame rails will really help show the extent, or lack of, further rust in the chassis. If there isn't any, cool. But the extent of the existing shown rust is worrisome.

[RalliartRsX]

Oh. You are hung up on those wheels??! Holy shit! Man, you need to get laid.......like now if you are hard up about a post where you completely took my post out of context

1) Reese falsely accused someone of flipping wheels and NEVER apologized for the slander and lies.
2) Here is a quote from my post.....if you actually took the time to read. My "stance" on this topic is the same it has always been

Yep, just a little snowflake Reese.........

I was waiting for Reese to come and and clear the guys name. I guess he won't do that now huh??

Saw the guys post. But like everthing else, the sky must be falling because oh shit, I am too naive to realize that there is more than what i think I know...........and realize there are more than 2 known to Reese of the same sets of the wheels out there........and not just what the internet tells you

If anyone wants to get pissed, yell at the IG followers and idiots who are buying used 10-15 year old Japanese wheels for 2-3K because hard parker status. That's the people who yall need to get mad at for driving the price bonkers

As I said before; get over it. And in this case, stop being a dick.

P.S This is typical Zilvia bullshit anyways........

My issue was NEVER the price, but the fact that REESE straight up lied and slandered someone and wouldn't come forth to apologize after being proven he indeed lied.

Again stop conflating a multitude of issues here. As I said earlier, I am all for people making a buck or two, but it all goes back to market value; who in their right mind would pay this much for a rusted out SOHC?? Stance boys and Insta likers is who (which points to my statement on who in their right mind would pay for this)

Not sure why I just spent al this time responding to this post hahahahah! Back to my dungeon.

[Hoshino]

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?
When I implied I was trying to keep things in context, I didn’t mean go even further out in left field lol.
I’m trying to understand why this process of buying low and selling high is great for genius entrepreneurs who do it with small parts, but crosses the line with an entire car?
Same exact process but the size of the item makes this practice negative all of a sudden?

There is only one question here. Not sure why you are bringing up old unrelated stories.

Anything else you want to contradict on?? You were the one that brought up "YAJ scum" and why I flipped (which I didn't).

I gave you my reason why I disagree with the prices, and I gave you a reason why prices are high. Not sure what else to tell you.....or bother to keep wasting time on. My post from YAJ thread was directed at REESE for being a liar and slandering someone's name without evidence. Some how, you made the leap to equating that to agreeing with flippers in the YAJ thread and this 240 for sale.

You are throwing so many different topics out there (price gouging, lying about item condition, etc) and conflating them into one topic.

I gave you an answer.....it just so happens it's the answer you do not want to hear...........which is a personal problem...............

[RalliartRsX]

Actually you know what, let me actually answer your question

1) There is a stark difference between an item which is not available stateside which you have to search through a foreign auction, pay for someone to locate the item, pay for the item, pay for the person to process/inspect the item, pay to have it shipped, pay customs fees and them also hope to have the item in the condition stated. That sweat equity is just that; lots of time and money invested in getting a $200 item across the pond which can easily tack on another $3-400 in just processing/shipping fees as compared to an item available stateside however on a wider search radius.

2) A MUCH cleaner 240SX can be had if one was to a) be a little patient and b) be willing to travel a few hours outside of your search range.

You CANNOT equate the two sales. Simple.

If you have no idea what it takes to import an item, you may want to actually try to do it yourself before commenting as (and I stated this before) you are generalizing, assuming and over simplifying purchases through YAJ.

That is one of the main reasons I refuse to buy JDM or the like parts; if similar item is available stateside that does just as good or in some cases an even better job, I am not interested in Insta likes to go for the JDM item because "cool".

That should explain away instead of throwing insults.

If you believe any of the bold parts to be true or honestly believe browsing yaj is difficult and comparable to actual labor, I’m going to assume you’ve never purchased an item from auction before.

Never mind, I don’t even want to get involved with you guys lol.
I’ve argued with ralliart about it before and gave up lol

Edit: agreed with dude below me lol

I’m legitimately becoming confused by you.
There is nothing to do with this Reese guy, I never mentioned wheels.
You’re confusing yourself with all these “conflated topics” when there is literally one simple question posed.
You gave your answers about why you think yaj scum deserve money.
It makes no sense other than you are lazy and think people deserve hundreds of dollars for browsing the internet in their free time. (Which is still not very different than this seller browsing his local craigslist for junk to flip lol. You just think googles automatic translations must be hard to use..? I’m assuming here because your justification made absolutely no sense.)
If that’s your argument, agree to disagree.

Edit:


If you have no idea what it takes to import an item, you may want to actually try to do it yourself before commenting as (and I stated this before) you are generalizing, assuming and over simplifying purchases through YAJ.

.

You’re crazy or just plain inexperienced if you think getting items from yaj is difficult and/or not simple haha.
I can do the same thing you do;

1: dude has to navigate foreign cities craigslist listings for hours to locate a low mileage car, pay someone to find a car, pay for the car, pay for insurance and registration, pay for a tow truck to get it home which has taxes and hidden fees just to hope it’s a clean car. Lots of time and money invested in getting this car back to sellers house in driveable condition. Can easily tack on $3-400 in tow, maintenance, insurance, plates, etc.

2: a MUCH cheaper (insert part here) can be had shipped to your doorstep.
log into Buyee and click “bid now”
With a little patience and willing to pay a small shipping fee.

You have no idea what it takes to get a car back to your house and roadworthy and legal.
You’re over simplifying car purchases and knitpicking an extremely simple process that can be done from your couch while watching tv.


Choice wording

[kayless]

that is going to be a rust nightmare. If that is on the hatch and the fender, imagine what is going on underneath

[TheRealSy90]

^^^He gets it.

[Jo_Galezo]

God i did not mean to start this [emoji854] i just wanted to know if he bought the car to flip it or if the craigslist ad was his and he had it listed higher here. Sorry to the OP, but seems like a lot of bottled up tension is getting released regardless.
