already down to like 800 to me, but then again i don't know how much cars cost out your way, and it took me 5 months to buy my s14, and there's no shortage of 240s around here, so i might be stingy.

08-26-2008, 12:04 AM
so... $2000 for incredibly fucked up stock with shit wheels and a motor that needs a timing chain job done (sohc rattle != dohc rattle). $500 is already pretty generous. laugh and walk away

cali, don't fuckin pay more than what everyone else says. fuckin ten million 240's and rust is a non-issue.


in ma........ i might pay 800 for that car if it runs and passes insp. and all that

no more than 1200(wheels are worth 3 to 4 bills depending on size/tire)

shitty paint. high miles. gay brown interior. no ac. hud dont work. crappy wheels.single cam.

$500-$900MOST.

I COULD SELL THAT CAR FOR 1-2k Easy. up here tho.

AWSneer
08-26-2008, 03:09 AM
If it is inspected, thats $500 right there, but I would say no more than $1000.


All those little problems (especially the body) are going to piss you off.

My 2cents

I wouldn't pay more than $800 for that. I sold my cressida that was in better condition than that for $800.

08-26-2008, 03:37 AM
$1,000 at the most. The cost associated with fixing the issues listed off will be more than his asking price.

eek
08-26-2008, 03:38 AM
Clean tittle? If not, don't even bother. I'd pay no more than $500 if it has a clean tittle. Other than that, save your $, pay a lil more and get something better. For 2k, i rather save another 1k or so and get a s14.

i would say $1500, but thats missouri price, 240s are kinda hard to come by locally.

To the average ricer fanboy - $2000
To anyone with a clue - $200

Somewhere in the middle is where you'll be. Honestly I quit buying SOHC cars for salvage when I was parting them because there's not a single part worth a damn on one except the front lip. The steering system, A/C parts, and engine are all completely useless, body panels are all the same as newer, cleaner cars, the trim and gaskets are worn slap out, and a brown interior is just a dumpster full of trash. If you just want a car to drive you can find a million better things for less. If you want a 240, prepare to dump 4x the asking price just to get it back to safe driving, running condition.

cut springs = ricer I wouldn't pay more than a few hundred for that car I guarantee he beat the piss out of it and theres more problems then you can see

08-26-2008, 03:26 PM
thanx for everyone's 2 cents!!!

so i actually ran into the guy.... on the passenger side there is 2 dings 1 is very small.(1 1/4 panel ding the small one is in the middle of the door)

the guy washed it and the paint isn't too bad but still needs front end paint.
he said if he sold it he would fix the timing chain for free.
About the HUD he said, he forgot it didnt have one.
but dash still sucks and in Cali it is HOTT & HUMID! (for now)

yeah i told him idk if i would buy it anymore.he said why and i just said i dont think it's worth 2k

Seriously, like $800.

5 years ago I bought my 90 coupe with mint interior, decent body, and 83k for $1600. Yea it was 5 years ago, but still.

Last year I bought a decent body hardtop coupe, no rust, shitty interior, high mileage for $1700.

1991 dohc hatch with all original paint and body, all service records and one owner, good interior (with the cloth seats instead of the tweed shit)

In january i bought a 1989 fastback for $2000, that was extremely clean other then one dent on a fender and a few scratches, dash had one crack in it, the rest of the interiour was perfect and the car was bone stock with working A/C and Cruise control, had a rebuilt Ka24e in it ran like a champ and still does i beleve, i parted it out, coil overs, spacers, wheels, diff, ect... and i sold the car for $1700 cash and it was a very nice base for someone to build, i would say with the specs you have given us i wouldnt pay more then $1000 at most, if not $800, idk each person wants to get what the feel is right for the car, but usually its alot more then most people would pay :), every once in a while the right buyer comes along and pays full price with no haggling but thats a rareity... gl

08-27-2008, 08:27 PM
800$ to me.. for a KAE... plus condition is not that good..= =

2000$ is way too much, you can just wait little longer for better condtion of 240.

how do i get him to lower his price without offending him?

I love these threads...

When I get off my ass and sell my coupe (which is in decent shape, kitted, with a good '95 KA-DE) I'm going to make a killing.

the most major was a dent where the rear passenger mud flap was. but it was pulled out, still wavy.
timing chain guides are worn
Unknown mileage
205 tires are worn
no a/c


Seriously, the guy is trying to sell it. It's not his baby no more. If he gets offended he's ether acting or dumb. If he hasn't sold it in the time this thread has gone on, people aren't chomping at the bit to get it.

Make the offer that we are telling you to make. Low ball and see if he counters. If he scoffs tell him the offer is on the table and keep on looking.

09-01-2008, 12:13 PM
the first 4 or 5 pics make the car look real nice hahaha. no i would say 500-1000 is good enough. especially to someone that knows about the car. if its some moron then put it like 1500. like my friend bought a damn fucked up 89 auto coupe for 2000 and now its not running... you just gotta wait it out if you want to sell it for that price...

nesianwarrior
09-02-2008, 06:57 PM
damn, all the prices for a 240 thats being listed by u cali folks make me wanna live in cali. I got my s14 for 4k, straight body, interior very well taken care of, body has 180k on it but motor was swapped out for a kade with only 60k on it and since ive had it, ive put only 7k on it. as for the car on topic, id pay no more then 1,000 for it. sounds like a project bro. looks decent enough but the motor sounds like it needs work. but damn....here in washington, someone could get away sellin that for 1500.

Dude, Its not even a project. Its a rolling shell !!!!

002 rims !!!! you can get a set for $150 used.
The engine is absolutely about to blow. I will garentee you of a rod knock in 6 months or less.
you "THINK" it pulls hard, but its a fucking KA, they all do!! They are low end torque cars.
That front bumper is on there because he crashed the front. look for frame and bracket damage.

used dash, no cracks, $100.
matching front bumper to car paint, $250 minimum.
New tires all around, $250 if you know someone.
The cut springs are gonna cost you ALOT of time and PITA to replace. Coil overs, $850 plus, stock JY springs, $100
Passing SMOG, it wont, so $250 for you to find someone to pay
The body work, with paint match, $350 minimum.

Soooo
$2000

plus,
$1300

is $3300.

Plus a new engine in the first 6 months,

sounds like a deal dude!!!!
Dont know why he wouldn't want to keep it!!!!

Im only rude cause I know your gonna fuck up and buy this shit box regardless of the 2 pages of people saying $500!
