serious if you cant find a s13 for less than 2,000 your just not looking hard enough. I bought mine for 2,500 but it was so damn clean (inside and out) I couldn't resist.

jackjack

^like its been stated before, all depends on the area.

wangan_cruiser

its true all you need is being patient and looking at the right area. only people who ask too much because they add shit on their car. tell them BRING IT BACK TO STOCK AND ILL BUY IT THE SAME PRICE YOU BOUGHT IT.

spooledyou33

dam up here in ny i got two clean ass ones well my friend did not me lol a coupe and a hatch for 1500 both running cars.... you just have to look it will take time but you will find a sick one

i wish it was priced higher so less kids get into the new drift/ emo/ alternative life thing that they think buying a 240sx entails.

I say 5k is fine for a s13, and 10-12k for a stock s14. That would be enough to keep the Fwd and ghetto people from buying 240's.

Maybe only then can the quality of the cars on the road increase. Right now the 240sx is the new civic...in socal...the archtype of poorly done, multi-colored, half-assed, and unsafe driving...to public, law enforcement, and enthusiasts.

silviaz

it's a good thing. the more they'll cost, less fucking drift king wannabe will buy them.

I'm fucking pissed off.

Future240

yea hopefully that is after I get mine and build it up.

SexPanda

serial, now dont be hating here...

but i am seriously NOT in love with my 240 right now. Needs ball joints, new control arms, new shocks, new springs, has electrical issues, the engines on its last leg, and a bad paint job.... I suppose thats what 190,000 miles will do. You really cant find a well taken care of 240 these days. The previous owner of mine, whom I know, was a complete idiotic whore (literally) who probably didnt change the oil the entire time she owned it.

If i were to sell my car, id prolly sell it for like a grand. But im a realist. I know as soon as i sold it i'd cry. Honestly, if you want a good clean s chassis, be prepaired to drive a few hours... or days, if your that hard core, to get one...

or go to canada, get a REAL s13 silvia, know someone who inspects cars and are real good friends with, and you'll have a good low mileage s13 for under 5 grand.

then trade in your g35 sedan, and make a fully race/drift prep 350z and you won't have that problem anymore. or do the same with a wrx or evo, and be even more unique!

once you buy a 240sx, then take your time, spend your money wisely and you will get a good return on it when you are done with it. unless you crash it of coarse.

350's are not really my thing, tho they've gotten better. For track thats why i purchased an s2000, as its a more fun daily drivable and once in a while track car imho.

i had a 240sx before, long time ago. Which i purchased new in febuary 1996. It was sold in september 2007 for 11k to a friend.

One if bored can look at it, as its on the phase2 website... Last time i checked it was the 1st s14 chassis w/ s14 SR20det and fully functional Air conditioning back in 2002.

Mi Beardo es Loco

I bought mine in MoVal for 500 about 5 years ago. Everyone was clowning me because they said 240s were girls cars. Jokes on them now, they want one too.

whiteytighties

Yep I remember yours...one of the first s14s I liked back in 2001-2002 when I first got my s13 coupe. But I also do wish prices were steep just so everyone I know doesn't want one anymore. Everywhere I go...someone is making an offer for my current stock s13.

Original poster: It's called supply and demand. The more people wants them...the higher the prices like corollas. And of course, drift tax.

JVDSKYRINE

actually i got my 240 winter beater from a lady that was the only owner....she had saved all the advertisements and brochures for it and they were actually sold with women in mind for their target market haha funny shit i should hunt those down and scan them to show you guys its kinda funny

Mi Beardo es Loco

I think that's part of the reason why USNissan decided to not put in the sr. But I remember seeing pictures of the s15 on aol (lol at dial up) and having a completely different view of 240s. I always intended to get a silvia front end but back then it was so expensive. But how times have changed!

wylin

thanks, yeh its why i sold mine, too much negative attention and it failed the GF test...

there's no bling in drive a 12 year old car, is what she said...and its quite true!

they want one because they want to be cool like you. POS people tries to buy 240sx then crash it after a month of driving thinking they can do drift with 1 month of practicing. basically these type of idiots causes the low supply of 240sx in the community. its funny how this fuckers think they can slip and slide and drive perfectly with only driving a rwd for less than a month.

shit with 241XXX original miles on my car. i dont mind replacing all bushings that needs to be replaced because at least i know im the person who put up those miles.



it takes time to learn real drifting and polish your skills to the track. not in the streets

7K for an almost stock 93 240sx Coupe!!!!! This is an awesome deal.

BigVinnie

Woot woot!!! I can sell my car for double for what I payed for it, since the fast and furious!!!

how does this work out when u have a thread saying you want a 240 as a first car but ur parents wont let you?
something smells like bullshit

MN240sx

I guess its just about luck. I got mine (95' 240sx SE Manual) bone stock 120K with great body condition and clean title for $2400. then again that was like 5 years ago...

fliprayzin240sx

^^^Exactly, 2-3 yrs ago. Check around lately? Finding a stock unmolested S14 now to me is like finding a rich virgin who would be able to support my car and crack habit...

I bought my 97 Kouki, 90k miles on it, from the 2nd owner for $9k. Do I feel ripped off? Hell no! If you really want something, do it. Nevermind the bullshit people say or what a book says your car is worth, do it.
I work in auto finance, I know what cars are worth and I know what a good deal looks like. Granted I didn't get an amazing deal like some of the lucky few but I got the car I wanted. I don't regret paying the price.
What's done is done. I love my car and that's that. If you want one, make sure it's the one. If you have one...you know what I'm talking about.

actually guy, I think what he means is that drifting is prominent in F&F 3, and the majority of the people with FF platform who want to start drifting and want to buy FR cars choose 240's, so yes, I'd say movies like that did effect the 240sx market.

tecster

Man you guys had it rough... I bought my S13 for $300 bucks, did the motor swap myself for about $1,500... Guess I walked away lucky in the NE Area?

JRas

bitches are dumb, that's what you get for listening to your girlfriend, to me a 12 year old car that looks like it's in new condition is much more pleasing than a new car.

the trick is, finding someone who doesn't know what they have

example: old ladies, old man, and old people in general are mentioned for nearly every good deal someone has got.

I miss saying "what up" to fellow 240 owners.

The prices will go down later but for now just enjoy the aftermarket attention, and try not to get yo shit stolen.

pEcHeP

Imo $1500-2k is the going rate for a running car with almost 0 mods (maybe the occasional new shift nob or air freshener). Or get a shell for cheap and build it ground-up, but trips to the junkyard and zilvia will seem endless. The price is due to hype, and what people can actually do with the car. If you want a cheap project, get a VW superbeetle, drop a litre bike motor into a geo metro, or get a civic . Otherwise a 240 is a good choice.
