mint40 · 11-11-2015, 02:11 AM

Hi, I drive a 1991 240sx with 19k miles (bought it with 11k miles). sadly I am looking to sell it but not sure how much to ask for it. I love this car but with the low mileage I think modifying it will ruin it personally. the only thing that is not original is the radio. lived in arizona basically all of its life so no rust.

With 19k!? Look forward to seeing the estimated price.

KAT-PWR · 11-16-2015, 10:02 AM

*brndck* · 11-16-2015, 10:09 AM

wow that thing is wicked clean! I'd say it should sell in the $5k range. just my opinion.

s13rhdhatch · 11-16-2015, 10:11 AM

Pretty damn mint! Can the miles be verified?

Ilya · 11-16-2015, 10:13 AM

Do you have any records that truly state the car has 19k miles? My car has every service record from previous owner that I can see the mileage in the car as the years progressed.

I also have a spare cluster at home that I can set to whatever mileage I want...replacing a cluster is about 10bolts....

***CrimsonRockett*** · 11-16-2015, 10:37 AM

Hope it's just the picture quality, but it appears the body line is missing on this section of the car.

Aside from that, I'd definitely get a carfax report on that to back up the mileage.

We can through up figures all day long, but a realistic number would be $5-6k in my opinion.

Someone who is looking to build and collect/preserve an S13 would probably pay more.

Malik · 11-16-2015, 10:51 AM

seats are in such great shape... very clean

silviaks2nr · 11-16-2015, 11:13 AM

Put it on ebay with your reserve for what you'd take and go from there...

Make sure you have documentation over the years to prove the mileage. Carfax may if you've had it regularly serviced and inspected.

corbin · 11-16-2015, 12:21 PM

Looks like this car was featured on Bring A Trailer a few months ago... I'm assuming you were the buyer? http://bringatrailer.com/2015/07/01/...-nissan-240sx/

Damn Corbin!...all Dick Tracy and shit!!
Clean car OP....sent you a PM

Reece · 11-16-2015, 01:55 PM

I'd pay 6k for it. At the absolute least.

I do know there's a mint red SOHC hatch that was basically just as nice as this one with 30k or something on it and it sold for upwards of 10k iirc.

kashira kureijii · 11-16-2015, 01:57 PM

*heavy breathing*

ixfxi · 11-16-2015, 02:54 PM

OHHHHHHH SNAPPPPPPPPPP!!! LOW MILEAGE?!?!?!?!!?

YESSSSS.... that means those seats are still uber-unsupportive! and the brakes still suck donkey dick!!! And the exhaust note, so sweet.

So many better cars you can get. I have no idea why anyone would want that. Its not a Supra Turbo or an FD3S.

hybrid_eg · 11-16-2015, 03:25 PM

lol... just ebay it, there are suckers out there that will pay bank for it, no reason why not to get every penny from if people are willing to pay.. set a high reserve and see where the auction goes and adjust from there..

civilized_drifter · 11-16-2015, 03:27 PM

dont listen to ixfxi, he owns clear corners....which is why he's salty.

OT: in the southeast this would go for 5-6k...however ive seen s14 kouki's bome stock on CL for 7-8 all day with moderate miles.. I think finding a person who wants a clean stock 240 is key and would fetch the bigger stack

Corbic · 11-16-2015, 03:31 PM

It's worth whatever someone will pay.

Mileage to me just means nothing since I wouldn't keep any of the sock power train.

Suspension rubber will rot from Ozone regardless of miles.

Car reminds me just how much I hate the stock aero, wheels and tail lights.

It's missing the black stripe around the entire length of the car, but that can still be ordered new from Nissan and applied easily. Still in great shape, regardless.

Meant the factory lines on the lower rocker where the black stripe sits.

The indentation stamped on the OE sheet metal.

Looking at the link provided by Corbin, it's there.

OP's pictures don't show the body line making it seem like there was a previous repair done poorly.

Hoffman5982 · 11-16-2015, 04:12 PM

Yeah that super clean red hatch sold for $10k plus on ebay. It was, honestly, cleaner than this but still, I fully believe this will sell for close that. I wouldn't pay it, but someone will.

Hopefully it won't be the same guy who bought the red one and posted repeatedly on every forum/ social website he could find bragging about his purchase.

Super_OK_S13 · 11-16-2015, 04:16 PM

Crimson- it ALMOST looks like it has a rear valance in that picture. edit: just a shadow

It's even a Misty Blue metallic car too... good god this car is amazing..

Matej · 11-16-2015, 04:21 PM

It depends.
Is the USB cable included?

derass · 11-16-2015, 04:58 PM

The paint is in very good condition. Must have been garage kept for most of its life.

KiLLeR2001 · 11-16-2015, 05:18 PM

Misty Blue Metallic. Don't see that color everyday. I would start at $6500 and go from there. Interested to see closer pics of the possible body damage area, or if its just the lighting. I'd say it would be worth more if it was a coupe since the hatch to coupe ratio is about 3:1.

p1atinum97 · 11-16-2015, 05:31 PM

I remember this from reddit back when you first got it. I would start with what you paid for it because there is always someone like you who is willing to spend that for a rare find

But why else would you buy it if not for the bragging rights?

Drift Missile?

CostFree · 11-16-2015, 06:00 PM

I can faintly see the body line. It looks like it is the lighting in that picture. Posting more pics would help. Clean car none the less.

Dboyizmlg · 11-16-2015, 06:07 PM

pM ME PLEASE!!!

very interested

Javi802 · 11-16-2015, 06:25 PM

Its "worth" is relative to how much someone makes. To me anyways. If i were making even 60k a year, i would happily pay upwards of 10k for this car, but that's because i love them. And i would only buy it to baby it, as i would keep it as a collector.

Being as they're all getting trashed and turned in to "drift missiles" they will be gems in the future.
