so i found a 95 s14 se. it has 138,000 on it autmatic yeah i know BOOOO for some reasson thats all i find lol. but anyways the car on the outside is perfect besides the paint is coming off on the front bumper and the bumper at the bottom is broke he taped it back togehter. it was in a wreck the plastic that goes under the front fenders cant think of what they are called rought now. they are gone and the passenger airbag is poped out but the steering wheel one isnt. he said the title is clear didnt get to look under the hood yet. the interior is perfect to burn holes or tears. he is asking 1,500 for it think its worth it? wish i had pics of it but i didnt think nothing about taking any.

I would have to think if the bags came out on the car you described its gonna have an "R" Title. Something to consider.

BoostedCoupe · 04-12-2007, 09:41 PM

so would you buy it if it had a straight frame and drove great? i own a s13 coupe now just seen this car and for 1,500 i was like i cant let this car go. only thing about the one in nash is its like 3 - 4 hours from me this one is 3 - 4mins i can go see it get it checked and not waste alot of money if i dont buy it. im not worried about the title. the loan will be a personal loan. and ill probally never sell any 240 i own. the dash has a hole right above the glove box the part that came out is still their just hanging off a lil bit thought a new dash fix the bumper and its perfect.dude has owned it for like 3 years and the car has a fortbrad sticker on it so im gussein he drives it a good ways when he drives it to the base. im going to more than likely go and give him 1,000 for it if he will take it.

Well that is pretty cheap for an S14. But if it looks good snatch it up. Every once in a while you will come across a great deal. Get the vin # and check the carfax report, if thats good go take a look at it.

BoostedCoupe · 04-13-2007, 05:52 AM

i have seen it in person saw it yesterday im going to go test drive it today look at the frame the rad support check the car over pretty good. id do a carfax but u have to pay for it and i dont have a cc.

jeprokz · 04-13-2007, 04:58 PM

return the favor to someone... goodluck.. post pix... if it's all good, snatch it coz that won't stay for sale very long in cali..

i was reading up on a thread about a week ago, about a guy that wanted to buy an s13, and one guy made a pretty good suggestion, he said to buy an automatic and turn it in to manual, and he said that its better this way because s13 and s14 now of days are being pushed and mistreated, now of course this isnt always the case this car could be in bad condition, but i think thats pretty good advice, and i think he said it wasnt very expensive to do so.. but yeah im curious to find out how the car drives

BoostedCoupe · 04-13-2007, 07:33 PM

i didnt get to drive it to day tomorrow for sure. the dude drives it everyday. the only thing that is wrong with it besides what i posted is that if you put it in park its hard to get it out. he says he just puts it in neutral when he parks and pull the e-brake if its the tranny thats a good reasson for me to 5speed swap it. when i go look under the hood and give it a inspection on every part. under the hood what should i all look for besides the radaitor support and the frame condition? since the car was hit in the front or the car hit something. the title is rebuilt i think. ill take pics of it tomorrow. if it drives and is fine ill pick it up tuesday. s13 coupe and s14 zenki one has to be turned into a track car but both need 5speeds. to the person that said about buying a automatic. im not worried about auto's they are not that hard to swap. and with it being a automatic it probally hasnt been beaten on as much as a 5 speed would have been. and for people that own a 95 se that is the dark green. does the interior have a greenish tint to it?

Howard92884 · 04-13-2007, 08:43 PM

Look for cracked hoses, frayed wires, leaks, rats nest. Just basic stuff. 1500 damn good price for an S14 if you ask me.

that may have some truth to it...... but I wouldn't weight my decision to purchase a car on that....remember, KAs can be had for cheap should your motor shit out on you

diomedes · 04-14-2007, 08:15 AM

^^^ yes agree. Five speed swap costs close enough to rebuilding or swapping in a new ka.

BoostedCoupe · 04-15-2007, 03:33 PM

just a update. went drove the car and looked it over pretty good. the car drive fine besides rubbing from somewhere. and the powersteering needs to be fixed it makes that noise that most powersteering problems make lol. car was great tho buying tuesday.ill post pics when its mine show you guys what i found sitting in some dudes yard.

BoostedCoupe · 04-18-2007, 03:23 PM

it was wrecked. as you can see the bag is gone. the front bumper is no good at all. the power steering pump is on its way out i think. but other than that no reasson only 135+ thousand miles. dude really didnt know what he had i gusse. i couldnt belive it was so cheap my self i found some other tihngs like plugs that are un hooked dunno where they go. and if you put it in park he says it gets stuck(no i didnt have the e-brake up to make it look like a 5speed). other than lil stuff its fine. just wish he had some respect for the car and kept better care of it. the car was so dirty the oil is old overall its all great tho.
