1998 Nissan 240sx
Clean title
Price: $11,000.00 OBO
Cash only
Located in: Lexington, Kentucky

Cash in hand for test drives. Absolutely no joy rides. Car is sold as is. Vin is available upon serious request.

Backstory/Car History:
I purchased the car in October of 2013 from my brother. I have not touched the exterior of the car at all. During my ownership, I've rebuilt the motor, replaced all the wiring, and fixed/replaced other multiple items here and there.

This is a true 1998 kouki (only 2,178 ever made). I only say this because I don't think many people realize how rare the 98s are. The original color, silvermoss (engine bay color) makes the car 1 out 500 (don't remember the exact number - 576 i think)

The car currently has 1200 miles on the engine, wiring, clutch, and tires. This car is originally a 5-speed manual.

Kicker front & rear speakers
Front Kicker tweeters

The CONS

The only serious cons to this car are cosmetic problems. The back bumper is the worst. Bumpers are cheap and you're probably gonna Tokyo drift this into a wall anyways...

No mechanical issues with the car.

Conclusion
Its a 17 year old car - its not gonna be perfect. I can be SOME WHAT flexible on the price but I'm not giving away a car with NEW major components (engine, tires, wires, etc..)

Car is for sale as is!

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS.

PS: Shoutout to bottlefed97 for kindly uploading my photos to this thread. I was struggling to get them uploaded properly.

I uploaded your pics to Imgur. Glws!

Trizimo · 05-15-2015, 06:01 PM

Thank you for doing that! I really appreciate that.

EDacIouSX · 05-16-2015, 12:49 PM

i'm not trying to hate or anything but how is that a 1998? The color of that engine bay is gold? and that color afaik only came on gold zenkis. It also looks to be a 100% original engine bay, all the stickers are there and what not. At the same time.. the interior is from a 98 so i'm confused.

What was the original color of the car? Moss?

Trizimo · 05-16-2015, 01:41 PM

I believe the original color of the car was silver moss (I can't remember if that's the proper name or not). The title says 98. Would the vin prove that it's a 98? I can provide that to you if you need it.

turbo11 · 05-16-2015, 02:20 PM

looks good

Trizimo · 05-16-2015, 03:21 PM

Thank you. It's priced a bit high (I carried over the same price I posted for craigslist), but remember it is OBO. I will reply to reasonable offers.

dreimers · 05-18-2015, 08:13 AM

good looking car. Price is good for a mechanically sorted 98 Kouki. Rarest of all 240's. We as owners of these sorted cars need to keep strong with the prices. Fair, but firm. GLWS nice car btw

Thank you for the compliments on the car. I really appreciated your comment on my asking price for the car. It’s difficult pricing a rare and heavily modified vehicle. I made sure to search this forum and try to find other very similar cars to ensure that my price was within the right ballpark.

240KA · 05-18-2015, 12:29 PM

can i get the vin?

Not a problem. I just sent you a PM that included the vin.

If you (or anyone else) needs anything, just ask.

Trizimo · 05-21-2015, 10:39 AM

Price drop. $14,000.00 OBO

Don't like the price? Make me a reasonable offer and i'll consider it.

Trizimo · 05-25-2015, 11:49 AM

Update on the car.

No new issues! The weather has been nice enough here in KY to take the car out for some spirited backroad driving. This car pulls strong for being on 7psi and now has around 900 miles on the motor.

Im flexible on the price so feel free to PM reasonable offers. Thanks!

(bump)

Trizimo · 06-02-2015, 10:01 AM

Price Drop!! $13,000 OBO, lets make something happen.

Trizimo · 06-20-2015, 09:58 AM

The car is still for sale

Trizimo · 06-30-2015, 07:41 PM

Price drop to $11,000.00. I'm a little bit flexible on the price, but much lower and i might as well keep the car.

If the 10th digit of vin is a W it is a 98.

Thanks for sharing, i didn't know that. This car is definitely a 1998. Again, vin can be provided upon request.

Trizimo · 07-22-2015, 05:08 PM

Update: The rear hub bearing has been replaced. I've received multiple offers, and am waiting for a few people to come view the car.

Until i have cash in my hand, the car is still for sale. I'm still a bit flexible on the price. Bump for those close to KY.

240KA · 07-22-2015, 05:41 PM

do you have a picture of the vin number that is on the firewall?

DKnissanman · 11-19-2015, 03:47 PM

trade for my 1jz s13.4?

keep your wheels and whatever else till you can agree on a price?

Puroeuro · 12-01-2015, 04:37 PM

Is this still for sale? If so, is the engine bay the only part that is silver moss or is the rest of the interior parts also same color as in trunk and under the carpet? Im a picky guy and just need to know what im ganna need to get painted if i decide to buy this

Puroeuro · 12-01-2015, 05:07 PM

Sorry misread what you said about the color. Still for sale though?

kb3x · 05-11-2016, 08:34 AM
