Is this 240 worth $3900? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

jdm2191 · 07-02-2009, 02:00 PM

the car seems to have a clean body but idk if thats original paint though? but interior also looks clean & he said hud works thats a PLUS & it has a clean dash & thats hard to come around these days....but i would offer him like $2700 b/c it's a 92 u dont see alot of people with 92's & it's an SE model & it already has a 5speed thats a big PLUS!! but the mugen wheels are a magor FAILLLLL i would sell asap!!!

zenki.life · 07-02-2009, 02:04 PM

not worth it at all. the car itself i would pay 1500 for. and that does include his "extras" what people do not understand is that a car is not like a house. it depreciates greatly in value and people should not expect to get what they put into it. that is why people overprice their 240's. and i doubt those are mugen rims. they look like circuit 8's from ROTA!

landins13 · 07-02-2009, 02:10 PM

looks clean, i wouldnt pay that much for it but if you can talk him down it could be worth while, ive got a buddy selling an rb20 s13 with fresh paint for 3800 so its all a matter of perspective

NISMO_tuner · 07-02-2009, 02:16 PM

Yeah that frame rail looks like it has a ton of bondo on it.
I would say pass. I'm very picky when it comes to rust and bondo.
I would pay no more than $2000 for it. And that's probably too much considering the frame has been tweaked and its not straight.

Least i'm not the only one that read that post where a member said "The frame is tweaked".

NISMO_tuner · 07-02-2009, 02:24 PM

haha I also noticed that the driver's side front turn signal is red.

mazersx · 07-02-2009, 02:33 PM

overprice!! keep seraching.. only worth $3000 if its superb clean with oem paint.

ixfxi · 07-02-2009, 02:41 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... something sure does look odd with those framerails though:

here is a pic of mine for comparison:

ive been restoring my undercarriage, no accidents just a bit mashed up from being raised incorrectly by the previous owner

his framerail looks like its been damaged.

jeb1517 · 07-02-2009, 05:24 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys. Def going to pass on it and keep searching.
Oh and ixfxi, nice rails.

J40sx · 07-02-2009, 05:34 PM

i would pay around 3 to its clean, but
negotiate to a good deal

240cracker · 07-02-2009, 05:52 PM

clean car but to much $

WISH ONE · 07-02-2009, 05:57 PM

2k at most 2500. Keep shopping Like everyone else said you can find tastefully modded cars for that price.

dakota_lyons · 07-02-2009, 06:06 PM

he said he's gonna keep looking, you guys dont have to say keep shopping, he's not buying it

that car would be worth $1100 in my book, why? because if the frame isn't straight, and that thing rolls or gets t-boned, : omfg :

*kognition* · 07-02-2009, 06:37 PM

Looks like fresh under coat spray in this pic. Possibly some repair work done there. DSC02760.jpg picture by husherauto - Photobucket

StalinDrift123 · 07-02-2009, 07:20 PM

the under frame rails look like its been damaged, it doesnt look even at all. thats why he tried to restore them. u should bring someone that knows cars if u cant do it and negotiate for a lower price. Im sure he will let it go for 2900 atleast!!! 3900 and u can get a clean nice stock S14. imo.

Tantwoforty · 07-03-2009, 01:27 AM

teehee "redtop" ka

dsc4130 · 07-03-2009, 02:10 AM

buy something not from chicago, i love the city but i bought a car from there once........never again

(it ended up in the junk yard 6 months later, the rust is horrible up there)

an_orange_s2k · 07-03-2009, 02:19 AM

i paid $3800 for my '95 ruby pearl w/ 65k on it from original owner in cherry condition. he also got it detailed for me before i bought it! keep searching

VQMaxFan · 07-03-2009, 02:52 AM

never.

unless it comes w/ an assload of aftermarket shit in the trunk or 2,000 dollars back there lol

and it def. was repainted or atleast part of the engine bay was or something in the front of the car. you can see where they masked off the strut towers. Compare that color to the rest of the engine bay and the underside of the hood.

huffandpuff00 · 07-03-2009, 03:03 AM

no..................

David B S12 · 07-03-2009, 03:29 AM

mugen wheels...... lmao, dont buy that trash...

the frame rails for all you know have been sprayed with a can of primer it looks like, to cover up some rust or somthing

save your money, like 6k u can get a sweet sr'd hatch, i prefer s13 coupe

or you can diy for like half that shit

soreballz · 07-03-2009, 01:35 PM

lol @ all the people that only read the first post. Dumbshits.

josephin510 · 07-03-2009, 01:56 PM

If you want a nice s13 look in cali... MUGEN WHEELS

HyperTek · 07-03-2009, 02:17 PM

wow i remember when that was a good price for s13s.. b4 the bandwagon came in and everyone wants em cheap lol.

anyways. it looks clean, but a thread asking if its worth the value, you will always get its overpriced. The only way to determine that is if you look at it in person, with the mindset that you are looking at a car that is over 10 years old so dont expect it not to be used, or even abused.

I wouldnt buy it, let someone else come along and pick this up and enjoy it without any doubts in their head as to weather they should have got it or not. just my .02.
