what's the lowest mile S13 you have seen? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ranisron · 06-27-2005, 10:51 AM

I was driving to the dealership to pick up oil filter for my 240sx... saw a nice 240sx vert, I pulled next to it... WOW, that convertible is NICE, I mean everything is perfect - it can be put into the show room and you can't even tell the difference.

I went inside and asked the sales person if the car is for sale

... Apparently it's a customer's car, and it only has 11,000 miles on the car (92 240sx vert) .... It has always been garaged, and only drive in summer time, actually less than 1000 miles a year.

I talked to the owner (little old man), bastard won't sell the car - I don't think I could afford it either. little old man is buying a G35 and keeping his 240sx vert.

**Phlip** · 06-27-2005, 11:07 AM

Lowest I have ever seen was a red fastback for sale on some little bullshit lot near my cousin's crib... It was a 91 and had a hair over 73k on it, that is an average of about 5200 or so miles a year. It wasa 5-speed, but the lot owner wanted whoever bought it to bend over and lube up, sumbitch was asking $7800 for it and was not willing to hear anything less.

Big Daddy · 06-27-2005, 11:16 AM

mine i would say. 88k on it. it's an 89 hatch 240

justinhustle · 06-27-2005, 11:32 AM

ive seen an 93 hatch with 7800 miles

owner sold it for 8k

DJPimpFlex · 06-27-2005, 12:54 PM

Citizen's awlays had low milage coupes. He bought a SUPER STRAIGHT CLEAN AS HELL coupe for like $4k and it only had something like 70k on it. Driven by an old lady. to bad its all junked up now. His new shell has only like 80k on it to. That guy . . . ..

*Yuri* · 06-27-2005, 02:45 PM

I bought my 90 fastback for $1200 with only 60,300 miles two years ago. I now have 87,000 on it.

o5i2 · 06-27-2005, 02:55 PM

mines had 59xxx when i bought it, now it has like 66xxx

ranisron · 06-27-2005, 03:10 PM

when I bought mine, it has a salvage title, and ... 147K... now it has 151k and rebuilt title

Blues13 · 06-27-2005, 03:53 PM

90 hatchback.. 72k when I bought it, now 122k.

Nan Desu Ka?! · 06-27-2005, 03:56 PM

i assume we are talking about chassis miles? casue if we are talking about engine miles, mine is the lowest i have seen. i think i have like 3200 miles, yes thirty-two HUNDRED miles. fully rebuilt from the gound up (all factory certified internals) engine block. oh and its a 95 KA. w00t. too bad i have like 190k on the chassis, but its still straight as hell, no rust whatsoever (except a little on the hatch... curse you foam! curse you!).

s14slider · 06-27-2005, 04:04 PM

my 90 hatchback has 56K original miles!!!! Yes, 56K. I bought it from the original owner who had all of the service records, he hardly ever drove it, and kept it garaged. The only reason he sold it to me is cuz he was going to give it to his son as a graduation present, but his son joined the army and went to Iraq! The car is SPOTLESS. The interior is absolutely FLAWLESS. It is charcoal metallic, paint still looks good, plus I threw on a set of Type-X tail lights (the real ones, not the ebay ones!), I also dropped my SR into it recently and I will have it running any day now. I have owned it for a year, kept it in a storage unit and I only put like 300 miles on it.

So, if you guys are jealous, you should be. But, you are in luck, cuz I will be selling it soon. I also have a 91 sil-80 and a 93 coupe SE, and I want to build up a coupe now, so that is the only reason I will be selling the 90. I will be asking close to $9,000 for it, the SR swap is close to stock (actually, it has quite a few mods, but I am trying to keep it simple and extremely reliable. So, if any of you are interested, let me know at [email protected] . AND PLEASE DO NOT MOVE THIS TO THE FOR SALE SECTION. THIS POST IS ABOUT MY MINT CONDITION, LOW-MILE S13, SO IT DOES BELONG IN THIS THREAD.

oh well,

oh yeah, I have already ran a carfax report on it just to make sure everything is legit, and sure enough it is.

citizen · 06-27-2005, 06:45 PM

mine had 54k on it when i first bought it douchehole, cost $3500

TheSnail · 06-27-2005, 07:04 PM

The lowest I have seen was a 89 two tone on ebay with 34k. As far as mine, I pick one up from a good friend at night time, asked him how many miles are on it, he said 140ish. I woke up the next day walked over to the car and spoted 239xxx. So he was about 90ish off

ranisron · 06-27-2005, 08:16 PM

...

I am happy with my 151K...

Let me guess, it was sitting in a Nissan dealership, right?

*exitspeed* · 06-28-2005, 10:36 AM

When I bought mine a couple years ago. It had 83k, and it's a 90...

drift freaq · 06-28-2005, 11:00 AM

my old Black 91 that got wrecked when it had 36k on it had 19k on it when I bought. That was in 2000-20001 . It replaced my blue 89.

Chernobyl · 06-28-2005, 02:53 PM

About 70k on a white 93 hatch.

But even more impressive, I've seen vin #XXXXXX0022 or something like that.... production date June or July 1988.... one of the first S13's built! It's for sale too...

TheSnail · 06-28-2005, 03:19 PM

^ Damn! I was impessed with mine being 1132nd one made (september/88) . 22nd is crazy. I wonder where the 0001 is. Is there a way to find out who owns it? I would buy it for tripple the value, and store it in a barn

AlligatorBling · 06-28-2005, 03:32 PM

my 93 hatch had a little over 40k on it when i got it in nov of 02

evanl85 · 06-28-2005, 06:02 PM

We have a 89-90 (around there) fastback at work with 40,000 miles on it. Old lady drove it.

m0rex · 06-29-2005, 04:59 AM

The 00001 probably didnt notice it and now its all trashed and since he didnt know it was rwd he hit something and its now in the junk yard.

keepitmovin · 06-29-2005, 10:12 AM

Lowest i've seen was 69k. Bought my 90' 3.5 years ago at 110k and it now has 157k

biggie · 06-29-2005, 02:30 PM

My old '92 had 23K on it when I bought it in '95 for $14K, totalled last year with 165K. Do have an engine in garage with 80K on it, but its a '95 engine.

Well.
Theoretically, the first 100 240sxs off the assembly line were for testing, advertisement, and R&D for aftermarket companies, and all were supposed to be returned for Nissan for research and eventual destruction.

The story behind #22 (as I recall) was it was given/sold to Xenon (or it's kit designer) to develop their bodykits. It wasn't driven much and ended up sitting on a farm in Norcal somewhere. One of our fellow 240 enthusiasts saw it sitting in disuse, and offered to buy it from the guy whose property it was on.
He realized pretty quickly that it was #22, and kept on going with his plans to swap in an SR. It was white.

That's all my spotty memory can recall. I'm sure someone who remembers better than I can would be able to shed better light on it.

Sil Beer S13 · 06-29-2005, 04:33 PM

my 93 coupr had 78k miles when i got her

I never knew that. Thanks, for the info mrmephistopheles. I searched Auto Trader yesterday, to find the earlyest ones made. I found #132. So by what your saying, its the 32nd 240 available to the public. Pretty impressive

iwishiwas-all* · 06-29-2005, 10:37 PM

i bought mine in december with 75k original miles on a 91 LE model, was in beutiful conditon, i have since fucked it up
