Should I Buy this S14?
Ive been looking to buy an S14 and I found this one on craigslist that I am looking at possibly buying. I just wanted to get some opinions on the car as to whether or not it seems legit and how much its worth. The car looks extremely clean for original paint. The owner said the SR and trans have 30k miles on them and 240k miles on the chassis. It has an aluminum radiator, Z Fever Racing fmic, and Greddy boost controller. He said the swap was done by Z Fever Racing in Tampa. Also said hes had it running on 10-14 psi boost. What do you think?

i think it's funny he says one owner 70 year old lady but she's not selling it aha. It looks like a nice car though cleaner than what's around me i wouldn't pay that much personally would find a nice shell and put one in myself.

Your cash. Car does look clean. Ask for all paper work. Bring it to a shop you trust and see if the seller will let the tech check it out if it looks good it is really up to you. I personally wouldn't pay 9k for a basically bone stock kouki with a sr swap. You can get a pretty nice built car for the 9k range.

Looks like a clean swap was done, and the body seems to be in great condition from what the pictures show. 9k seems a bit high, but then again kouki's are a bit hard to come by period.

My apologies op, free bump for u. But imo I think its a clean car. Check for rust, and talk his down to about 7 and u have a decent deal for a clean usdm kouki.

Why? You do realize that nissan catered these cars towards mid-40s, female, secretary types in the mid 90s right? My first S14 that I got in FL in 2000 had the outline of a Mary Kay's sticker, that would show up in my rear window when it fogs up. That also explained the fucking clutch going out at 36k.
