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

jeb1517 · 07-02-2009, 10:06 AM

Alrite well I haven't been on the 240 scene for too long so before I purchase this one, I wanted to see what others think it's worth.

1993 Nissan 240sx coupe 5 speed clean

I appreciate any and all the input, thanks guys.

makes you wonder if he is hiding anything under that new paint...

Ceepo · 07-02-2009, 10:11 AM

Ha ha ha, mugen wheels lol... but seriously the question is are you willing to pay 3900 for a prettymuch stock 240 thats clean ill give it that but idk you can get a stock s14 for that price imo...

blueshark123 · 07-02-2009, 10:18 AM

i wouldnt pay that

wannabdr1ftr · 07-02-2009, 10:23 AM

i would ask him whats the lowest he'll go because for that price you would be able to find a 240 with a SR swap

Boost_Fiend · 07-02-2009, 10:32 AM

i got my 93 coupe in a fairly clean state w/ sr and a few upgrades including a gt2876r for 4k. And the a/c doesn't even work on that thing. You can do better for 4k or ask him to go lower.

jeb1517 · 07-02-2009, 10:39 AM

So glad I made this thread...Ok so I offered him 2900. He said 3500. I agree with the comment about being able to find sr's and s14's for around the same price, but around Chicago, it's a little tougher. Maybe I could get him down to 3300, but I'm not sure.

Here's the other 240 I'm looking at.

ReLiC · 07-02-2009, 10:46 AM

waaay overpriced. I wouldn't pay over $2000 for a stock 240. maybe an s14, but not an s13.

btw, just to let you know, a silvia front end runs at around $700...

ZilviaKid · 07-02-2009, 10:48 AM

i got my sr hatch for 3900. and i live in an area where stock 240's go for 4k or more.

keep shopping dude

turbo_dreams · 07-02-2009, 10:50 AM

Even 2900's still kind of steep for a clean stock coupe...tell him to keep the rims (even though they have re01's) and take 2500 only becuase the framerails are fresh.

Ceepo · 07-02-2009, 10:52 AM

here is an idea of what i payed for my s14, its a 1995 SE, auto 153,000 when i bought it, VLSD, Nismo Coilovers(s-tune), it is a pretty clean chassis and i payed 4500 for my car, idk who ever buys that s13 is getting hosed, my first 2 240's 1989 hatch and 1990 hatch i payed 2000 for the 1990 and 2200 for the 1989(old lady owned very clean)

hunter8411 · 07-02-2009, 10:55 AM

I never post on these things, but this whole time I thought it was an S14. I would not pay that much for a S13. Good luck with whatever you choose.

pancho y onions the 2nd · 07-02-2009, 10:59 AM

The frame rails look wierd on that thing. Is that the undercoat that they used on it. It almost looks like they put paste on it everywhere you can see a little line. You should ask him if the fame rail were repaired once before?

ChiSleepyEyes · 07-02-2009, 11:01 AM

drift tax in chicago is freaking insane, i paid 2800 for my mostly stock 240. your not really gunna find em cheaper around here unless you want a car that was beat to shit or a roller

xpinoyxmk · 07-02-2009, 11:04 AM

When i bought mine. The guy wanted $3500 for my 93 hatch, cleanest hatch i've ever seen where everything was basically in mint condition, except the seat, with only 120k. I offered him $2500 cash the next day and he took the deal. I am very happy now...

exactly man, that car seems pretty damn clean EXSPECIALLY for the MIDWEST where EVERYTHING RUST'S.

call him up, say you want to look at it, and bring $2,800 - $3,000 CASH with you and i bet you will go home with a new car.

i would say that's a fair price for a CLEAN coupe where it's at, most of the people who have responded don't know what RUST is.

ixfxi · 07-02-2009, 11:10 AM

i paid a tad over 6k for my 95 SC300 w/ 95k on the odo. this piece of shit has bald tires, broken AC, and bullshit suspension/wheels... for 4k? get the fuck outta here.

its a fucking 240SX and it doesnt even operate 100%. at least my SC was in fully operable condition. tell that fuck face of an owner to come here so that we can remind him how stupid he's being for trying to sell a 2000 dollar car for 4k.

fucking asshole, piss me off when im eating this badassed breakfast burrito.

LMAO best quote ever!!! he does make a good point tho...

91drftr · 07-02-2009, 11:27 AM

find another 240 thats in ok condition for about 1000 bucks
ull have 2900 left so with 900 get urself some better wheels
then ull have 2000 left and get urself an sr motorset for about 16 to 1800
swap it in urself and ur good ull have a fast decent looking car all u would need is paint...........atleast this is what i would do cus nearly 4000 is wayy to much fuck that

frame is tweaked, hood doesnt fit well, i arleady saw it in person.

wrote down the VIN did a search and it was in 2 accidents.

frame rail right where it bends up towards the motor was patched with putty, (somethin like bondo i guess). its flat, doesnt have that rough surface, and the framerail looks "Fresh" as stated above because it was repainted/resprayed

stay awayzzzz.

EDIT: if the car hasnt sold its probably still at the U-haul on S.27th in oak creek.

just my view. go ahead if you want

bornslippy73 · 07-02-2009, 11:45 AM

Its not even 5 lug with upgraded brakes. Stupid rims. How about upgrading those seats to at least 180sx seats or something newer. I'd bargain to $2000 if its really "clean" and there are no hidden surprises.

I thought the same exact thing!

Thanks, Driven. I guess if the car was worth it you would've already bought it lol. Alrite I'll keep shopping, maybe I should jus invest in a trip to texas or something to find a nice 240.

cemtoes · 07-02-2009, 11:50 AM

Psssh I paid $4,500 including fees for my mint hatch with a freshly rebuilt sr. Not a spec of rust anywhere on the car, god that thing was immaculate when i got it. I'd keep shopping or try and get him down to around $2,500 or maybe a little lower and tell him to keep the honda wheels.

driven_ · 07-02-2009, 11:51 AM

its also starting to rust on the pinch welds.

clark · 07-02-2009, 12:02 PM

dude, if you do'nt get it, someone else will. i love coupes. if you love them, get it.

name a better car you can get for that price......

ATLspeed · 07-02-2009, 12:10 PM

only reason I paid 3k for my s13 was because it had fresh interior, mods, but most of all it had 67k miles on it

good lookin out.

if you want to spend ALOT on a S13, there is a 43K mile auto one on Autotrader in Chicago...

i want it, but it's too much money.

9s13Coupe3SX · 07-02-2009, 01:24 PM

Not even real Mugens, fuking rota's. Get that sh!t out of here, doen't even belong on a 240.

*hOngsterr* · 07-02-2009, 01:27 PM

nope,
it USED to be auto and i guess he did a 5 speed swap
and he has mugen rims.......
lol

sil80 monster · 07-02-2009, 01:51 PM
