You may not know this (not being from CA), but it cost about $150 every two years to have any vehicle pass emmissions with any motor and any mods if you know anyone in the smog business. Go to one local car meet and you will find someone who can do that for you...

I think paying anywhere up to 9k, for an UNMOLESTED, CLEAN, <130K, kouki, is resonable. There getting about impossible to find. I search for about 2 months to get this last one I got. Idk, maybe its just me.

when car insurance pays out they check the actual market what these cars are for sale and what they are being bought and sold at.

i got $2,800 for my last 1989 hatchback with 300,000 miles after someone rearended me

I lived in Southern CA for over 2 years. I know its possible, but the difference is you obtain yours illegally and i obtain mine 100% legally... and mine costs $12 every 2 years....

one 15 miles from me on craigslist for 1200.

prices are all relative. if someone is willing to pay 9k for a car thats work 5k of course the seller is going to post it up for 9k. at the end of the day though dont be offended when someone offers what the car is actually worth.


just because you put coilovers and a isis exhaust on your s13 does not mean its somehow worth 5k now. Im getting kinda tired of seeing s13's for sale with no motor,trans or interior for 2k.

Hahaha really?

Newsflash! 240s aren't actually worth shit. They aren't a collectors car, and they aren't race cars. Why would they be worth anything? It's just idiots that pay too much for them that think they are worth that much.

Kouki owners have got to be the worst part of the 240 community. Up to 9k? Are you serious? If I have 9k to spend, I'm walking into a dealership not your yard to buy your shitty old Nissan. My friend just sold his hatch
With over fenders, brand new windshield, some suspension arms and other shit to someone for $350. Maybe these things are worth more out west but
The prices I see on here are out of control. I paid 900 bucks for my coupe and feel like I got ripped off haha.

240drifter1

I mean there are avid 240 owners who actually want a nice CLEAN 240 not to fuck it up and thats not a peice of shit to dd, you cant say kouki owners are the worst, its the whole crowd. Unmolested clean koukis should go for more and thats the fact, yeah its a 240, its nothing really special, but the higher prices some what keep the idiots and ricers away from them.

And I would love to see that kouki for 1200, I bet its auto, dented to hell, faded paint, etc. Everyones got opinions so really this is a useless ass thread. It all comes down to what people are willing to pay, and I know theres people out there like that.

240drifter1

To add to it, ive sold a ton of kouki's, a white auto bone stock with 150k for 7k.
I had my last kouki posted for 9k, with a bone stock ka, jdm aero, and some pbm coils and thats it. Hell, idk I guess im an idiot.

badbob2121

Well atleast you said it...

No. S13's are peices of shit.

This reminds me of vortex when I used to have my Vw. "Dude my 92' Jetta is worth like atleast 6k." "Tuners" are retarded. The 240 enjoys so much popularity because peoe like CHEAP rear wheel drive fun. Bottom line is, KBB is on the money with those prices. The rest of the world sees an old car with limited creature comforts that requires maintenance. The only people who value these cars above KBB are people looking to modify them.

1994 240sx parting out -convertable
Dude should raise these prices. Cars worth at least 5k. That diff alone is worth about 700 dude doesn't know what he is missing.

I paid 800 bucks for my vert in slightly better condition then that.

LOL at thread.

A car is worth as much as someone is willing to pay. Not what KBB says, not what anyone on zilvia says.
i have a huge issue with many of you aholes telling people what you think shits worth, its not up to you, pm offer, or stay the f out of the thread...but thats a different story

If your state/province has issues with insurance adjusters, then make sure you keep your receipts, or let an Apraiser know about mods you have done to your car.

You will end up paying more for insurance, but then you don't have to worry.

Old thread bump..

I've been looking for a 240 for the last month and all I can seem to find lately is either overly priced half assed projects or overly priced dented salvage title ones..

I'm starting to lose faith in finding a clean-ish 240 at a decent price -_-

RyanS13

So you knowingly bumped the old thread to contribute absolutely nothing.

MrSanchez925

Pretty much! haha.

PowerDrifter

9k for a 15yr old car? not to mention a stock motor?

umm yea go on craiglist and see what you can get for that much nowadays

people that think these cars are under priced are dumb. Most of them are high mileage, dented, or wiring is hacked to sh!t. If its clean who cares. Its an old car and will get no respect for driving an old car like other classics. its just a 240, get over it fanboy!

h2v7

they paid me 2700 for my 89 hatch with 300k on it last december

chriskilla2

actually alot of people care.. dumbest shit i ever heard

davinci

this phenomenon has actually crossed over to hondas to. its the "drift tx" but with hondas the "jdm" tax. its stupid. the same 1988 ef hatchback (square one) that went for 2500 back in the day is still goind for 2500 on craiglist for a not so great shape one. just cause it has ngk spark plugs and a ebay fart can... its crazy. over 20 years old and people still trying to sell it cause its fast and furious lol

davinci

for record i bought my coupe for 600. its in very decent shape, no rust, and i talked the guy down from 800. i feel i got my moneys worth, considering all the stuff im going to change on the car. it does have massive rust in the spare tire well but thats all being cut out anyways.

stylepointzz

This thread is a fucking joke. The "value" of these cars has been so inflated over phanboy BS it's ridiculous. Just like civic's and jeep.

Fuck you whoever started this thread

omgshawn

Rust doesn't stick to one spot, if it's somewhere on the car, I'd bet money it's elsewhere as well. Not to mention if it's 'massive rust' in one spot.


As far as this thread...I paid $600 for my running 90 hatch with dual cam swap, corbeau seat, HKS Hi power exhaust, 180sx lsd with 5 bolt axles and xxr 527's. They're worth what someone is willing to pay for them. For me, that's not too much. Granted I would spend say 2500-3000 for a MINT stock s13 with less then 70k on it. I laugh at the people who think their haggard spray painted 200K mile missiles are worth 2k+

davinci

Understood, But I been over the whole car including engine bay during my swap. Only rust in tire well due to leaking tails lights.

I meant no rust except for that spot and that didn't matter since I'm dropping in fuel cell

lunzee

As much as I wish the value would go up its not happening, and it shouldnt

While I agree with you, it doesn't bother me enough to go complain to the website endlessly. Throw together some kind of organized professional letter that you can get signatures for or something if you want to make a difference. Power comes with numbers
