What do you think my 240 is worth?

Hi guys,

Well some of you may remember me, but I think the time has passed for me and my 240. I am trying to figure out a price on my car, thought maybe you could help.

1994 240sx Convertible, 103xxx miles. Rare factory leather seats. White/Black. Very strong engine. Was in a minor accident before me, body is not perfect. Interior is very clean but door panels aren't lining up the way they used to. Overall pretty good shape.

Mods as follows:

Engine/Transmission:
Manual Transmission Swap
Custom Shortened Shifter
Injen Short Ram Intake & Cold Air Extension
Hotshot Headers
Carsound Hi-Flow Cat
ASP Underdrive Pulley
Jacob's Electronics ICE Pak
Platinum Spark Plugs
Magnacore Spark Plug Wires
Hose Techniques Red Silicon Hose Set

Suspension:
Eibach Pro-Kit Springs (Lowered 1.8")
Tokico Shocks/Struts
OBX Front Strut Tower Bar

Brakes:
iRotors.com Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors
Metal Masters Brake Pads
Goodridge Braided Brake Lines
Black Brake Calipers

Exterior:
MSports Fiberglass Vented Hood
C-West Ram Air Headlight Cover
Clear Bumper Lights
Shaved Sidemarkers
Pivot Headlight Adjuster

Interior:
Painted Interior Console White
Indiglo Gauges
Racepedals.com Aluminum 240sx Pedals
Clifford Matrix 3 Alarm

Sound:
Kenwood eXcelon Z828 Head Unit
Infinity Kappa 462.3cfp 4"x6" 2-way Plate Speakers (Front)
Infinity Kappa 60.2cs 6.5" Component System (Rear)
Polk EX340 4" Speakers (Mounted in Center Console)
Scosche EFX Dual Amp Wiring Kit 4-g
Profile Clarus CL640 Amp (75x4)
100 sq ft Fatmat Sound Deadening

Info/Pix @ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/294872

I checked autotrader for similar (well, non-modified) cars, and came up with $4000-$5000.

Any ideas? Tell all your friends, I'll hook you up with a referral fee.

Todd

im in NJ too. most dorifuto wannabes aren't going to want the vert.

if you really want to get 4k+ for it, you're going to have to find the guy who really wants a 240sx vert and is into the body modifications and audio stuff. a real niche buyer.

I like the car, except for the white interior panels. But as mentioned, a ricer is not going to want the vert, and vert buyers won't want the rice. Your target buyer will be someone around 30-40 years old who wants a Z32 vert, but his wife won't let him. You need to return the body and interior to a stock appearance. The header is probably too loud. Also remove the stereo stuff and sell seperately or put into your next ride. You should get book value + whatever you can make selling all of the mods you removed.

If you want to sell, get all the crap in the interior, the sound system, you keep it and you find a new hood...

With the front lip, wheels and the exaust system it can be O.K.
but the lip should be painted or sell it appart.

I would say, 5k

good luck

Yeah, I agree with a lot that was said. I sold the front lip, old wheels, and subs. I also returned the center console to stock black. I don't have many other stock parts, so that's how it's going to be sold. I don't see how the hood makes it look like a ricer, most people don't even notice it. And the headers are not as loud as you think - much less than any aftermarket exhaust would be, thats for sure. It's a few dB louder than stock. I'm really in no rush to get rid of it, so I will probably list it relatively soon and just see what type of interest it gets.

Its best to return it to as stock as possible... then you could get around 4K (probably a few hundred less). That equipment in the trunk does'nt look too pleasing to the casual buyer.

im going to say 3 grand at most. Its super clean though. THere's a modded hatch around here with roll cage, rims, exhaust, seats, various little goodies. Has stock sohc engine, orange paint job(yuck), and a little custom intake duct on the hood (on the wrong side lol). Last i checked it was 3,500 and its been sitting there for id say a year now. Its at a dealership, on the highway too, so it gets noticed. I dunno, its just something about modded cars i guess. You dont know what the person has done to it.
