Nice car and 12K is a good offer!

12k? Thats it??
Dont do it.

The car is not worth 12k, b/c nowadays no one has that kind of money to throw @ a toy. Now obviously I'm making a blanket statement, and someone will chime in about how they could easily buy this, but the fact of the matter is I'd take the 12k and run. I've seen cars similiar to this that don't have a predominantly stock interior, and much better fitment go for less. Better to have 12k in your hand, than a car that you hope you can get 12k for. Just my :2c:
BTW, I'm not bashing your car, it looks pretty good, and has a nice mod list, just trying to be real.

10-14-2008, 06:23 PM
DO IT! thats a sweet deal. Especially if your going to pick up that 2j s13. you'll have a cool ass car and some cash in your pocket. DO IT!

If your looking to sell your car at all take that offer. 12k for a S14 is a lot of money.
drftmark
10-14-2008, 07:10 PM
Do it. 12k is a lot for a 10+ year old car.
The only reason I wouldn't do it is if you actually tracked the car, but it doesn't seem that way, so sell.
ManoNegra
10-14-2008, 07:10 PM
No offense to OP
but I wouldn't pay 12k for it
mod list is just too meh imo
take the money and run.

10-14-2008, 07:44 PM
Car is not worth the $12k....whoever offered honestly doesn't know what they are looking at...no offense to you it's a nice car but not worth that...i'd take that deal in a heartbeat though.
I'd take the 12k, with no regrets
WangonwWarrior
10-14-2008, 07:48 PM
Do it, the buyer is probably full of $hit though. but if not sell NOW

10-15-2008, 08:13 AM
That is so much money... I wouldn't even get another S chassis, I'd just save up.

Take the money, go get something newer.
Brian
10-15-2008, 11:02 AM
yeah take the $12000 and put it down on a Honda Fit or something.
DAMN, that would be hot.
Thats what I wanted to do with my S14, but then I sold it for $3000

10-15-2008, 11:09 AM
You didn't mention mileage on the chassis but from your description on the problems it has I say $12k is a good deal. Take it and build something else.

10-15-2008, 07:39 PM
Take the 12k tell him you want it cash

Take the offer and never look back.
Do it, cash only. Run. Fan boi's with money are great for dumping project cars when you get bored with them.

10-15-2008, 10:03 PM
id take the 12k. ive seen better go for less... NOT A DIS ON YOUR CAR. looks gorgious and well put together
Marcus
10-15-2008, 10:30 PM
this is fucking depressing. its worth 12k+, but probably wont sell for more.
i spent 11k on mine back in 03 STOCK. then countless on parts. and i wouldnt even be able to sell it for what i paid.
if you are set on selling, consider parting.

10-15-2008, 11:21 PM
that's super clean man. looks great. Looks like the general consensus is that you should sell! Go for the 2JZ S13. Sounds like it would be fun. And left over cash is always good in times of economic upheaval.
let us know if the deal goes through!!
P.S....i think a proper set of spacers would increase the value by at least a grand :keke:

SELL!!! Cash only or instant wire transfer in increments of 4K (so you don't raise a flag to the feds).

I would sell it in a heart beat but I am kind of curious on what was spent to build that motor, seems like a grip of cash went into that one.

I'll sell him my 98 S14 for 12k. If you don't go through with it, pass him my way.
Id sell it now. I think within a year or two the bubble will burst and noone is gonna pay this kind of money for S Chassis. IMO if the guy offered you 12K its not his money, his mommy or a bank is probably the source neither of which is probably approved. Best of luck though

If you think that you'd ever want to get back into a 240, keep the car. It's much better to have a descent chassis to work on than be in need of a straight chassis for a new project these days. Even if you're bored with the current build, just change some things up instead of starting all over.
If you need cash, sell it of course.
:bowrofl: @ all the people in here jizzing over $12k. Don't any of you have a descent paying job?
Brian
10-17-2008, 03:03 PM
^^^^
I don't know what kind of job YOU have, but I think I speak for most of us here when I say that getting $12,000 in one day is pretty darn nice.
Chernobyl
10-17-2008, 03:06 PM
It would be nice, yes.
But you're giving up something that you've put an equal amount of money, including man hours, into. It's not like he'll be getting $12K for nothing at all.
Brian
10-17-2008, 03:18 PM
Oh, I know that.
But let's face the facts, It is a used Nissan 240sx. These things don't really fetch high prices, ESPECIALLY right now.
