Now, with that being said, here is the reason I started this thread. I have noticed that in the cars for sale section, there seem to be a lot of over priced s13's and s14's. Seriously... Almost bone stock high mileage, or salvage title, no rims included type sales, $3k and $4k s13/s14's going
for 7-10k... Seems a little ridiculous. And the funny thing is, all the threads seem to include a disclaimer somewhat along these lines, " If you don't like the price then fuck you and leave". Seems a little weird that people actually pay 2-4 times the value of these cars, even when they're SOMEWHAT modified. I guess 200k+ miles on bone stock KA's and cheap ass SR's are worth 8-10K. I really hate to say this, but people need to get a grip on prices.
I came to this forum in search of a clean ass S14 with 10K in hand, and to my surpise, I can't find one...Weird, I have seen plenty of 03-'04 G35 coupes for 10k, with equal amount of miles, but 5-6 years newer. Kind of strange, and I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that.
For the ones out there who have nice examples, you are the exception. What I mean by that is great paint, builds and swaps done the right way, completely working and functional interiors, decent miles etc etc...
But for the other high mileage clunkers out there, get over yourselves and realize your $3500 car is not worth 6-9k.
Bash away if you wish to be immature about it, or leave an actual opinion, or maybe some clarification. Keep in mind, I'm not new to the whole 'jdm' scene, so if you feel the need to explain anything, do try the, 'Oh, it's cause they are rare'...they're not. Hakosuka's and kenmeri's are rare... USDM s13's and s14's and the parts for them that are cheap and easily accessable are not rare.
