What is it Worth - 1997 Deep Fuchsia 240SX SE - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Le Pun · 09-28-2011, 05:51 PM

Looking to get a ball park on what my car is worth, any input would be great. Thanks in advance and hope this is not breaking any posting rules.

This car came up from Florida a few years ago and has no rust, frame or body damage with a clean Car Fax. There are a few door dings and scuffs but nothing major on the car. All original down to the cassette player, muffler and air filter. I just put new brakes, valve cover gasket and changed the oil. The heat and AC work great and everything works with no problems.

Yeah I figured whoever would buy it would be building it and pull the auto anyways. Great car it has been my daily for 8 months with no issues and I need something with more room for hauling stuff (chicks, dogs, dead hookers). hate to see such a clean car get all beat up in Chicago winters.

I will do, new to this site so don't think it will let me post here for sale. I put it up on CL and ebay already.

Thanks for the info I will check it.

I might be wrong but starfire blue might be the rarest color. Either way that's the color of my first zenki and I love it. Very clean car, and I'd agree on the ~5k range, but not much less. Good luck with sale

Dark Fuschia (LS1 color code) is indeed the rarest with Starfire Blue coming in second. The Dark Fuschia color was only offered for one year with that being 1997. Most people believe there were less than 100 made in the color.

I tried selling mine about 5 months ago and had no luck, same condition as yours...even dropped the price to 4k (lost my job and needed to sell it)! I got alot of "only if it was a manual" and "you live too far away" I decided to just keep it and glad I did.

GLWS! Someone should jump on this clean rare kouki!

You are somewhat correct. Dark Fuschia and Starfire Blue colors were both dropped after January 1998.

Makes me wonder how many were made during that one month run in 1998.

That is a beautiful color I love it!!! I would say 5500-6000, because its a rare color...I would just keep it..KEEP IT!!! Good luck with what ever you do Bro....

thrax · 09-28-2011, 09:52 PM

An equivalent Chicago car will have more rust so you are at an advantage with this southern car. Nice colour too! GLWS

Flicktitty · 09-28-2011, 09:59 PM

I LOVE that car, If i don't pick up a new car on monday i might be in contact with you.

Le Pun · 09-29-2011, 12:20 AM

Thanks for the info guys, been getting a buncha calls and emails on it already.

I would keep it, great car but I need something with more room to haul stuff around.

daftphunk · 09-29-2011, 01:30 AM

kbb should not decide the value of this car. For dealerships I understand they basically revolve around kbb but more often than not I would have people who really know this car judge it especially in this condition. kbb will probably underprice it. They also dont factor in rarity on this car as much

NNOCENT · 11-21-2011, 04:56 PM

$3500-4200 in todays economy

jr_ss · 11-21-2011, 05:39 PM

I wouldn't hesitate to pay 5k for it all day...
