s14 How much is my '98 240SX SE worth?

Greetings. I’m the original owner of a 1998 Nissan 240SX SE in Great Condition with only ~79k miles which I must soon sell to make way for a family-friendly vehicle.

The car is black and features 5-speed Manual Transmission, AM/FM/CD/SAT Audio System with Steering Wheel Audio Controls, AC, 16" Alloy Wheels, Cruise Control, Power Locks/Mirrors/Sunroof, and Driver/Passenger Airbags. Based solely on what I've been told it has a different front end.

Does anybody out there have any idea how much the car is worth nowadays so I can list it at a fair price? Any recommendations for the best venue to sell a car like that? Ebay? Craigslist?

Thanks All!

Hopefully it has the super rare Zenki front end conversion.

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it... In that kind of condition though I would expect $7-8000 and it will sell very fast.

Post it in the for sale section with more pictures. You'll get a pretty penny for it judging by how clean it is in that picture. Its a Kouki with uner 100k miles and its a 5 speed. 6-8k should come easily

book values are good guidelines, but i hate them when a vehicle has issues , especially when paying sales tax on it. Example, My Dad bought a Prelude SH with 64K. Clean Title, yet the car was wrecked and from what I can guess caused the oil pump to fail explaining the reason rod #3 was hang out of the block. He paid Paid $1500 for the car but WV DMV wouldn't accept that price unless he had a notarized letter, and seeing that the man who's name was on the title was in Iraq, that wasn't possible. So he had to pay taxes on book, it was a little more then $8000.

Your car, If it were mine, $6000-6500 on an S Chassis Forum, $6500-7000 on anything.

That's kind of his fault for choosing to buy it, or did he find all of that out after picking the car up?

It'll be worth more later. Don't sell it until you HAVE to. And even then save it for a bit longer. Your car is extremely rare now a days...

I'm looking forward to becoming a family man soon so I'm fairly sure I'll need to sell the 240; I was just hoping to get top dollar to help offset baby expenses and put some money toward some dank 4-door. Thanks for all the feedback guys!

If it has a VLSD you could fetch about $500 more.

Used car price $5800-6000

Zilvia/any 240 enthuaist site $6500-7500

There had to have been more that 1,200 98's made... I would think somewhere around 2,000-2,500.

nope, there were only 1232 made buddy. They are super rare, if you start looking at colors and options, you can get a really rare car pretty quick.

Since you're east coast, I'd say anywhere from $6000-$7500 depending on the buyer. I picked a 98 LE in November in NC for $4000 in really good shape but 140k miles.

Who gives a fuck about mileage...most folks will rip that KA before anything else anyways.

Also, I cant see the picture but if it has a Zenki front end on it...why would you pay Kouki S14 price for it?

If its actually a 98', the Zenki Kouki confusion is probably just because somebody told you that it has a rare Kouki front on it and the rest got lost in translation.

Not originally a Zenki guys, originally a Kouki...

7-8k
