Price out my car guys... S14, Kouki, Weds, Aero, Paint... Im too old for this now!!!
Well guys after my 5th attempt at a 240 I think its time for a serious break as I now have 2 kids, a new photography business exploding into success as I keep stealing my wifes TL more and more just to go on a photoshoot since all my gear doesnt fit in my ride. I dont have room for another car to park either. So I either have to make due or move on.
I really have no clue where to start as an asking price for this car. Its got a ton of work currently going into it. Heres a spec sheet off the top of my head: 1995 240sx 125k On the Chassis 20K on the Sr20det Setup if that Engine: S13 SR20det 18g turbo HKS SSQV Enthalpy Tune 550's All basic bolt ons Z32 Maf ect... Wheels/Suspension: (Pretty basic setup) Wed Kranze ER-M's (18 x 9.5+13 / 18 x 10.5 +3) Kbee Coilovers Coilovers (Japanese - KBEE) Z32 Brakes Steel Braided Lines Ruca's in the rear Tension arms in the front Aero and Paint: Ings +1 Aero Custom Pearl White Paint (Pink and Green Pearls) (4k Paint job) Interior: Pretty much stock S14 setup Its an ultra clean example of an old man owned and driven S14 with money in it. The only real body scarring is on the rear aero showed in my photos below. So guys how much would it be worth in this open market??? In some of the pictures below the front bumper was not mounted on all the way thus why its hanging a little below the fender. This car has over 15k invested easily. I was hoping to sell her for around 10k. Help me out guys!!! Is she worth that? With and with out wheels price opinions also....

Well the unfortunate part is that I really only have a few thousand available to replace her with. And that just isnt enough for a reliable daily driven vehicle. Plus storage costs for a safe car port in vegas runs almost as much as a small car payment. Im really trying to avoid adding any new bills during this economic recovery time. Id rather either just keep her and deal with it or move on and possibly come back to it once finances allow me to have a 240 and a nice/practical/reliable daily driver. I cant exactly roll up to a $5,000 wedding/fashion photoshoot in a 240sx ya know. Or a 1994 honda accord either.... LOL Im thinking a VIP styled Lexus GS, LS or a Q45 as I can have a decently put together one in the low teens. Im trying to stay away from another financed vehicle to be responsible for as well as a mortgage.

I'd say this is definitely worth at least $10k, at least it would be around here.
Make sure buyers know they can finance this with either E-Loan or a Prosper personal loan.

I'm thinking $10k, maybe less. However, I am way too picky. So take what I say with a grain of salt. Personally, all I would care about is the quality of the paint job and the quality of the interior... the parts list doesn't mean too much to me monetarily. Unless they just happen to be the parts that I personally would put on it. If you had REALLY good paint, then I would mark it over $10k. And really mint interior would raise that figure even more. However, I'm sure there is only a handful of users on here that would pay substantially more if it had a very high quality paint job and mint interior... so that's a good thing for you.

and the difficulties in cutting your losses in becoming a grown adult. how one could even consider putting down a lowly honda accord when they only have a few g's tucked away for those rainy days. and yet, with all that humbleness... you desire a VIP car. its almost as if you have no idea what VIP stands for. just goes to show that the people with expensive cars, usually front and really have no money. |

So I could sell the 240 and use the cash in conjunction with my 6000.00 in the "moma dont know" account to purchase something else a little more practical to use as a day to day personal vehicle. Or I could put a large downpayment on a new car. Id prefer not adding a second payment. I live by the rule of 6 months of emergency funds worth of bills in savings as a minimum.

I would want to say 10K as well but I think it would take a while to sell. You car is more or less complete there are a lot of less complete cars with SR's and RB's for cheaper. Not a lot of people can appreciat such a well done car these days.

the SR is probably hurting you more than helping out on the sale. sell the SR and get the KA back. you can probably get 8.5 the most. cars are horrible investments.

I'll probably be the first one to tell you the aero looks like shit, regardless of who makes it.
Given the broken piece in the interior, your dash looks uncracked so the interior besides that looks a-ok. 60 bucks, replace it an don't be a ner ner and break it again. when you say z32 brakes, do you mean front, do you mean rear, fully converted with a working e-brake, etc. Be more specific. I paid 8300 for my car with a damn near dead KA that wouldn't pass smog on it's own. But it also had my wheels, the diff, the kouki conversion, the 5 lug conversion, the front and rear lights, a body kit, carbon hood, aero (not the vertex) kaaz 2way, jic suspension rear strut tower bar, cusco front sway. 400 dollars worth of greddy gauges, wilwood bbk setup. In the end I paid for the parts that were on the car, and the car was thrown in as a bonus. You have a working sr20 swap and as long as it's not throwing codes and a good dyno down you could probably get at least 10k for that car. It's not the taste of many people here. But a lot of these dumbshits just buy crap and don't know what goes with what and compensate with shit wheels, hella flush fitment and roof racks then post when they can't figure out why the car wont shut off after installing a key ring light or something. so I'm with broadfield. 10k |

minus:
cracked, misaligned bodykit pieces - big turnoff s13 SR in an S14 - personal pet peeve zenki tails on a conversion no pic of engine bay nor interior plus decent, not great, list of parts assuming everything works like it should ~9 - 10k sounds like a decent price |

Also, your best bet is probably NOT selling it on Zilvia.
Put it on Craigslist or eBay.

Thanks alot guys! Im honestly happy knowing its worth close to 10k. I know I probably wont get that for her in these times, thus why I think Im just gonna hold onto her. All the broken pieces in the interior have also been replaced since those pics were taken. I really dont want to get rid of her so Ill probably just end up putting 50-80% down on a used LS430 just for the time being. I had a hell of a time selling our Rb25 Vert for freakin 6500.00 on here LOL... I watch all the high dollar car sale threads lasting months at a time. It may just be easier to part her out if/when the time comes....

and then selling cars at a profit imo, is bullshit. no one makes a "great profit" on selling these piece of shit old ass nissans. i love them, but fuck. often times i think how much you guys sound like gamblers trying to win.. and you guys dont win shit. here is what i see, i see a person who their car isnt cutting it for them anymore and they're creating a covertly titled interest thread, to see if people will actually buy it or make a good offer. too much thinking aloud. plus, no one knows if its been in an accident or had any sort of repair due to collisions. first thing i think about when i see a body-kitted whore is that she must have had some accident and they chose the aftermarket route because its cheaper, hence the reason you make great returns on your investments. like others have said, the s13 motor is less expensive so again, better return on your investment. i am not going to say the car is worthless or trash, because it could be a good average car for some 18 year old. but dont go trying to sell it as anything special because it looks like its been around.

I actually made lots of profits on my 240s in the past i bought a s14 for 900 sold it 1 month late with kouki sideskirts for 3000 then another fro 1600 sold it for 3200. But on my project 240 i know i will never make my money back but im happy still cause i dont wanna sell it and i dont need that money. This is besides all the stock 240's i have parted for lots of money

I actually enjoyed this post in comparison to your previous post. You are right, it is a thread to check interest and worth. Thus why its titled as so. I do man up brotha, let me tell you as I am over 30 years old. Having a succesful marriage is about compromise and understanding. Sometimes women just dont understand certain purchases. Id rather just avoid the argument altogether and have a slightly seperate spending account. What works for me may not work for you... Plain and simple.... I know nothing about you or your personal standings nor do you about me. So please, dont be so quick to throw out assumptions and Ill do the same for you. I dont see how reading for 2 minutes, 2 paragraphs about a car, you see "what you see" about me..... If Im not mistaken you own ClearCorners.com, you make innovative products and Ive even purchased some of them. Thats all I know about you.... Thats alot more than you know about me... Also I dont think your a dick, just blunt, real and to the point. I respect that...
