And what did it say 45k on the swap!? Haha with a license plate like that I'm sure there's way more mileage then that .. it has some fair parts but i personally think it's not worth an offer that won't insult the guy

Trying to be as nice as I can about this, but coming from someone who posted up this:

#/f/showthread.php?t=607672

Hard to take advice from ya.

That orange S14 is worth $6-7k on a good day.

Reason being, it's a Zenki (see what a Zenki shell is going for), the swap doesn't really add value to it unfortunately, and the only thing it really has going for it is the front end and coilovers.

Doing basic math, you can build a similar S14 to your liking for less than $10k.

wanna240 08-31-2015 11:49 AM

^ yeah, that was the first s14 I looked at, I'm glad I didn't get it. I do not have very much experience with prices, that was my estimate. I will edit my OP with the price range you said. Thanks.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/cto/5150035360.html I know 15k is rape and wouldn't pay that no matter what but what is a solid price for this? Idc if it's not a steal I just don't wanna overpay would rather wait & I know I keep posting these lmaoo sorry I'm new

Habibi240 09-02-2015 12:35 AM

That's pretty outrageous think of what 15 k could really get you don't even offer anything you'll be wasting your time ... Keep looking or if u have a fair amount of cash get a clean shell and build to your liking

240Chriss 09-02-2015 01:13 AM

Would like to do that cause then I'd really know the car but hard to do so without anywhere to do it & without all the equipment and knowledge to do it all

thats why you have zilvia youll figure it all out along the way

2muchboost 09-02-2015 02:23 AM

The 2J swap has now become plug and play like most other swaps. Wiring, mounting kits, intercooler kits etc. are all bolt in now. $15k is ridiculous for that. I had a bit more in my setup before selling but had parts supporting 800+rwhp.

if you are interested in an S14-LSX (5.3) project that's missing a few components to be turn key check out my thread. I will be back in NY in Sept for business for a few days and very motivated to sell as a complete package.

I'm highlighting this post to say this is NOT what this thread is for. No WTB. This is for help in purchasing an S-Chassis only.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/cto/5176684889.html Is this worth 8k? Clean swap & didn't hear or see anything wrong with it when driving. Didn't see any rust. Only concern was clutch let out high was curious if that was bad or not. Overall when I checked it out, it seemed clean, clean interior, motor didn't sound bad. Told the guy $7500 and he said $8k no lower. What do you guys think?

Looks to be worth 8k. I'd say go for it.

What questions should i ask him?
Any help will be appreciated.

illest545 10-15-2015 01:44 AM

Hello I'm new around here and I'm wonder if you guys think the car is worth 2.5k or maybe a little lower, ad says that 5th and reverse don't work so I'm assuming it might need a rebuild tranny. Not a lot of info in the add so seems a little sketchy going to try to see if I can get more info from the seller.Thanks in advance.http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/5261381452.html

Nick_93 10-20-2015 03:46 PM

Hello everyone. I just registered and I've been looking at 240s for a few weeks now and found one that I'm pretty interested in. It is a 1989 hatchback with 208,9xx miles on it and mechanically sound(so the owner says) and has very little rust. It is a 5spd with grey paint that seems to be in pretty good shape. He mentioned to me that it has been almost always garage kept. The car looks very clean including the engine bay and the engine. It is also completely 100% stock. He is asking $2,500 for it and I will be going to see it this Saturday. What do you guys think so far?

TheRealSy90 10-20-2015 03:56 PM

Sounds like a good deal for $2,500 if the body is straight.

Nick_93 10-20-2015 04:07 PM

From the pictures the body looks really well and probably one of the best I've seen. Unfortunately, I know that photos can be very deceptive. I will be test driving it on Saturday when I go look at it and I'm still doing all my research for what I should check and pay attention to. This forum has a lot of info and it's helped me out a lot so far. Hopefully soon I will be posting about a 240sx I bought.

TougeSR20Kid 10-20-2015 05:54 PM

$2500 is a good deal but like TheRealSy90 said if the body is straight. If you don't know what you're looking at take a friend. My only issue is the "very little rust" that sounds like it could be a can of worms. For you my biggest concern would be frame rails and floor pan, the stuff that everyone overlooks. Take the two extra seconds get a little dirt on your jeans and check it out

Nick_93 10-20-2015 06:12 PM

Yeah he told me that the only area with rust is behind the rear wheels. I will definitely be checking the frame rails when I go check it out. Thanks for the advice so far.

Malik 10-20-2015 10:00 PM

whats the stuff that you paint on the frame rails and the under carriage to prevent further rust.

Malik 10-30-2015 02:33 PM

thank you..

Should I buy this s13 http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/5320700937.html
I have limited info on it, the buyer wants nothing less than 4500. Do you guys think it would be a good idea or should I walk, I will provide more info when I know what you guys want to know about it.

$4500 for a stock 240sx. No f***ing way. At least, not that one. Wait and find another. That's my opinion.

It's not extremely overpriced, but the parts on it don't necessarily add too much value.

$3,000-$3,500 would make this a decent deal.
