How did I do for $400.00?

[24Zero]

I just bought my 240 about a month ago. I paid $400.00 for her. How did I do? Here are some pics:

Have great plans for her. LMK what you think.

Bad! You suck. Naw js playin. What are the miles? Condition? Rust? From the pics it looks pretty clean.

[24Zero]

She (Sylvee) is pretty clean. She is a 1993 with 168k miles. She has a bit of surface rust on the deck lid. Other than that the body is in good condition for an 11 year old car that was driven by an Auburn University student. The interior is in really good shape. Of coure I plan to replace the seats with sparco seats and order some new carpet as her carpet is really stained. She is not going to be my daily driver though. I am going to do a SR swap (right now Sylvee is only running on 3 cylinders). Body kit, paint etc. Hope to have a car that will out run my bosses 1965 Ford Falcon (http://www.65falcon.com) when I'm finished with her.

Looks like a nice deal... you in the mood to make a little quick cash and send that up to Wisconsin? :x: Worth a try... What are the options? Does it run? We can't tell how well you did just from the pictures... :(

Edit: Notice I asked this question the same time he posted above... :fart:

[24Zero]

That's Cool. Believe it or not she runs really well on 3 cylinders. I work about 45 miles from home. I have driven her to work on several occassions to keep the miles down on my truck.
I plan to set the car up to drag and to autoX. Looks like I have found a good source of information here at Zilvia.
I have ordered my SR and it should be here in about 8 weeks. I hope to have her up and running by spring.

you cant go wrong for buying that s13 for only 400. and it runs too thats a plus. drive it till the engine goes and then swap.

Are you from Wi, looking for a 240? Or are you refering to how much a 240 in decent shape is being market up, up here?

[Toahk]

Sweet, so your gonna put sparco seats, drop in a sr20D.E.T., put on body kit, and paint it.. thats gonna be sick!!!111!!

[wootwoot]

jerk.....why couldnt i find something in such good shape for so cheap?

[24Zero]

I am a car dealer by day. If I run across another car of this nature would anyone be interested?

[Y3llowS14]

Sweet deal. I go to Auburn, but sucks that I couldnt find any of those deals though. Hook me up with one if you see anymore :)

[24Zero]

I'll keep an eye out for you.

[MakotoS13]

good job on the acquisition just try to think outside the box when it comes to slappin the standard issue bandwagon gear on it.

man, i could've bought that car and shipped it to texas for less than what i paid.

my bullcrap ricer (http://www.angelcomps.com/2400.htm)

we got hosed davey... we got hosed.

Don't worry I won't be on the standard BW. The guys I work with make fun of me because I bought the 240 instead of a mustang or camero or an old falcon (like the boss' Click here for his pics (http://www.65falcon.com) ). So it will have to be way above standard.

What did you do to get in the "doghouse" and a pink name?
:D

[ForceofWill]

Yeah, I go to Auburn too. For $400 I woulda picked that up as a second car. How did you find it that cheap around here?

[NISMOoPW]

Exitspeed- Yeah, I'm from Milwaukee, looking for a chassis for my RB26. Anyone and everyone, keep an eye out for a car for me, I'm pretty desperate right now. Anything manual, no sunroof, no rust or bondo. Even then, the only important things are no rust or bondo. Naturally I prefer dohc, but, nearly everything's being ripped out at some point or another, so it really doesn't matter. I'm willing to pay shipping from anywhere in US to Milwaukee, and the car can cost up to $2k (that being the most perfect car imaginable, manual 1993 no sunroof, power windows and locks, no major dents or dings, no history damage, pref. running at $2k) Let me know guys, I'm so desperate for RWD I even plan on checking out a Mazda FC3S tomorrow in Milwaukee, just to get my fix... please... don't let me drop a grand on a Mazda... :-/ (btw, I love FCs, so, take it easy on those boys...I just should know enough to stay the hell away!)

[CKAMC]

wow if i got one for that much...crap i would be able to spend over 15k on it or more compared to finding one for around here for 3k+

IF you can ship Az then we are gonna talk a lot :)

[240niz]

Great deal...It's getting harder and harder to find an S13..HHmmmmm I wonder why??

[SilviaBoston]

damn thats a hell of a deal...i paid $400 for my 240 and i died only after 32 mile of driving on the highway in the rain and also i was missing a side skirt...the first thing you should do is replace the oil and all other fluids...do a full flush then replace all your filter and your starter also inspect the bottom of the car for any signs of rust that my so apper...you dont wanna have somthing go wrong while your out in the middle of east bum fcuk :bite:

[kilword1]

nice buy :)

[nissantuner22]

Ok, im jealous. I give you an F--

[WhiteNissanS13]

good cheap find i must say you're lucky.

[24Zero]

Thanks... have a lot of work planned for her!

[dct223]

great deal for 400 bucks... wish i could get a s13 for that price, i drive my s14 too much =/

[Advan]

Wait, hold on. How come it was $400? Was it because of the mileage or the the fact that there's a 3cylinder engine it it, with the high mileage? My gawd, I can't even find a 240 like that.

sounds similar to my story. the techs at the family dealership were like "why are you wasting time on a pos nissan? heh...


What did you do to get in the "doghouse" a
a pink name?
:D

Whoa... :bash:

Well I got it that cheap because I am the Sales Manager for Carl Gregory Ford (http://www.carlgregoryfordlm.com) in Ft. Payne, Alabama. I appraised the car when we traded for it. Our used car manager did not know what he had so I put a low number on it. Then I BOUGHT it. Right Place, Right Time, and the 2 Right Dumbasses.

[MakotoS13]

oh, so you CHEATED? good job. my family owns a dealership, i know how that shizzle flies. too bad we never get any cool used cars.

[24Zero]

I did not cheat. My customer left happy. I sold a new Mustang therefore my boss was happy. I just took advantage of the situation. What's wrong with that?

[NISMOoPW]

Lucky cheater! I'm just kidding, good job making the most of your situation. Keep us updated on your build-up, seeing the beginning through to completion would be cool. I know I'm still having troubles finding a chassis, so if you ever get bored with it... :D

Good job on the sale.
