If I were you I wouldn't even consider selling this car. As far as this discussion on value goes, who the hell cares? The idea of a cars value is arbitrary at best. When you place a value on a vehicle, especially ones like this, it is only to consider with respect to worth, excellence, usefulness, or importance. All of these categories are unique to any individual.

The things you have to consider are the facts that this is the last of the S Chassis in the U.S. This is the rarest car of it's breed with only a little over 3000 produced in this body style, God knows how many still exist. It is one of the last true front engine rear wheel drive vehicles. Lastly, it depends only on the personal attachment to a vehicle such as this. I can tell you I have a bone stock Kouki in VERY similar condition with no modifications done to it whatsoever (I plan on keeping it that way) and i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. I paid $8700 for mine with 97k miles and I consider that a STEAL. Everyone that is suggesting 10k is along the right track but I would even consider that too low.

However, all of this is irrelevant if you only view a car as a car. What is fantastic is that there are some select few who truely appreciate this vehicle for what it is and understand that the "value" assesed by some company (who supposedly understands the "value" of vehicles) means nothing. Car dealerships tend to assign this unknown worth as a "premium". I perfer to think of it as love. If you have your heart set on selling this car however, then treat it as much more than a car. Think of it as a pet you are trying to find a good home for. Search for the persons who appreciate and understand the essence that this vehicle captures. Those that will care for it like you would have. Find a true enthusiast who will treat her as well as you would have. Most importantly, remember that YOU assign the value because it is YOU who is selling it. Don't let anyone hardball you into what KBB thinks this car is worth.

I hate when something so precious is regarded as only a commodity instead of what it truely is: An artifact, a relic, and a treasure.

Well said.

I never imagined I would be selling the car, and had a ton of plans for it, but I
don't want to swap my LS3 into it because it's just too nice. I would rather let someone else enjoy it for what it is.

As stated previously, my asking price is negotiable.

If I could I would but I'm already in for a Kouki and a Zenki. I love this car, I would have killed for Aspen White when I got mine in Super Black. I just wish my steering wheel was in the same condition as yours. I guess heat got to mine. Also, I really dig the factory audio. Pretty sweet. That's the only differences between our cars other than the sunroof.

Took some pictures of the underside.

Frame is super clean, no rust.

Slight surface rust on the subframe and suspension arms.

Pictures coming soon.

Glad to see a starting price set. Great car, good luck with sale.
Car is worth every penny to the right person. That person will come.
unmolested cars are under appreciated.
I almost tried to get the license plate "UNMLSTD" for mine, then decided to molest it. Your car deserves such a plate.

Super clean, hope it goes to a good owner. I sold mine for 9k. 1k for rims =10K w/105k original miles. these CLEAN s14 kouki are becoming rare since everyone is drifting and destroying them. thanks to the drifters. GLWS

Also forget KBB value, they only give an ideal pricing for those who dont know where to start. In reality demand plays a huge role in the price.

WOW, cleanest 240SX Kouki I have ever seen... Truly beautiful, but I think I should set my sights on a higher mileage stock 240SX Kouki, because my bare maximum to get a Kouki is $7,000. This car is well worth the $11k asking, and I wish I wasn't 17 with just a minimum wage job or I'd buy this in a heartbeat. GLWS, free bump!

You guys are on fucking crack...$11k for a stock kouki?!?! I fucking paid $13.5k for mine with 27k miles on the clock in 2001!!! Who gives a fuck how clean it is, most of the stock parts on it are gonna get replaced with aftermarket pieces anyways. Body's not even perfect since its parked outside in apartment area. Between door dings and being out in the elements, shit can't be as prestine as you make it sound like. Even before the economy popped 3 yrs ago, most I've seen somebody try to sell a stock kouki is $10k.

Hey prick, go shit on someone else's thread. I'm not some push-over 18 year old naive kid. No one gives a shit what you paid for your car, how clean it is, or what you have to say. Some people actually enjoy driving around non-halfassed cars.

Seriously, do you want me to take pictures of it in my garage with minimal lighting?

I've already said what was wrong in the ad, and I don't claim that it's "perfect", so stop assuming that I am. Condition is all relative. I have been looking for an S13 for the past 3-4 months that was not beat up and it is really difficult. S14's are hard to find with factory 5 speed and low miles.

If anyone has a problem, I would be more than happy to PM or even call you and set things straight.
