Hello everybody. I am planning to join the 240 club by getting hold of a s13 hatch. There's one for sale in the neighborhood for $3k. It's a 5speed 93 SE with ~140k miles. It's bone stock with a set of after market rims. The red paint job still looks good but there's a minor dent on the tail. Wondering if it's worth the price.

And sorry if this isn't the right section.

BKdaMoRoN

Is it worth the price to you? None of us have seen it.

look man we all start somewhere I was new to this forum at one point if you want to be on this board you need thick skin because haters are always going to hate, flamers always going flame ext. Most members are just sick of all these people joining and asking retarded questions that could have been answered just by using google. In all seriousness I wouldn't pay more then 2000 tops depending on how bad you want the car good luck and welcome to Zilvia

I wouldn't even pay 2g's for it. I paid less than he's asking for my s14 over 8 years ago.

a.cygni

Dam just thought being polite should get help easier.

jesse_s13

Hes asking too much. Try bringing down the price.

Come to Cali and you will realize how good you have it with your dirt cheap 240's that nobody probably wants in the area. The demand here is different and you will not find cars for those prices.

To the OP: If the car runs with no problems (engine/tranny is good) I would say its worth around 1500-2000. Maybe less if its in worse condition than the pics make it seem.

GhostlyCoupe

3000 is a great price for a clean, unmolested DOHC (1991-1993) car like this one. Never hurts to try to talk him down though.

It's getting rare to find a 240sx that isn't a beat down piece of crap with mismatched body panels (which is what you normally find for the $2000 price range)

BKdaMoRoN

Why would I want to come to California then? Like I said, I bought mine over 8 years ago. Drift tax has now inflated prices to about 300% of what a rational person would pay for a busted 20 year old car with body damage and bobo wheels.

lude4life13

Unfortunately car heads are not rational people. We are dumb asses who invest tons of money into depreciating assets. I am sure you wouldn't know..

And like I said, this car is worth 1500-2000 if it is in good mechanical condition. But let me guess, a rational person wouldn't pay that for a car that will get them from point A to point B without any problems right?

fliprayzin240sx

Pricing right now is actually not that bad. The 240sx drift tax hit its peak around 08, till around the same time the economy popped. It wasnt uncommon for folks with clean, stock Kouki S14 sell them for $10k. Now everybody's broke or atleast holding on to their money.

Well if that's the case I have an s14 with an ls1 for sale for only $30k. Hell, I'll even put body damage in it for you.

Go back to Honda-tech.

lude4life13

You seem to have missed the part where I said depreciating, or maybe you don't know how to comprehend sentences.

Go back to high school.

BKdaMoRoN

You seemed to miss the part where I said I paid less than that for mine 8 years ago. Or do I need to define depreciation for you?

lude4life13

No thanks, I am a public accountant I have a pretty good understanding of depreciation.

Once again, considering the market in California right now, the pricing is not that far off. Whether you paid $10,000 or $1,000 for your s14 8 years ago in another state is completely irrelevant to the OP's situation. Go feel good about your low priced s14 in another thread.

foggygoogleso.O

The car looks pretty good from what i see and interior looks fair. Take it for a drive and see how it feels. If you hear or feel like something isn't right about the car, walk away and find another. Trust me, don't jump on the first 240 you see. If the seller has records of past maintenance, the better. 3000 is too much anyways. Try to get him to 2300-2500 if you think the car is worth it. Good luck and do get some thick skin because there are some people in here that are assholes for stupid reason, not all though.

i'm just going to sit back and relax while the entertainment begins LOL

I know you feel like you're on an island in California, but the market across the country is actually pretty similar. Check this out for example:
fs/ft 90 240sx
Like I said before, drift tax made the prices go up and stay there. I don't feel good about my "low priced" S14 because it wasn't really that great of a deal back then.
The OP is going to do what he wants to regardless. I don't think that car is worth that much money. Apparently you don't either. I said I wouldn't pay 2k for it, and you said you would pay $1500-2000 (or maybe less). I'm not really sure what your point is, I guess.
