Estimate Price on '91 240? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ijust1agame · 07-18-2009, 05:51 PM

Is $4,000 a good deal for a '91 Hatchback 240SX.
How much is a good price? There are no pics at the moment, but will update as soon as I get pictures in.

Here are some specs:

91 Nissan 240sx Hatchback
5speed Manual
KA24de Dohc motor with 99k miles
Manual Window, no Cruise, no powerdoor locks
Engine runs strong and no leaks present.
New P/S hose, window rollup regulators
color is Dark Purple Metalic with black interior
All around Vspeed kit
17" Rota D2 with -25 offset

Clean title? No rust? Straight frame?
IMO 4000 is too much.

Clean title, no rust, straight frame.

rednissan180 · 07-18-2009, 06:07 PM

toooo much

ijust1agame · 07-18-2009, 06:09 PM

I thought it was a reasonable since it is about 99xxx miles on it, but I guess not..
How much would be a reasonable/good price?

adam s · 07-18-2009, 06:13 PM

I wouldnt go over $3500, thats just me.

I got mine for $600 haha, sometimes you get lucky.

InlineS13 · 07-18-2009, 06:14 PM

it's not too much if it's a nice car. If it's a typical 240, too much. under 100k is pretty low miles nowadays. None of that "99k on motor, 225k on body" crap.

S13 hatch · 07-18-2009, 06:25 PM

a little cheaper maybe.. i bought my 92 s13 for 4000 n that was off a dealer n was perfect condition with a stock ka

ijust1agame · 07-18-2009, 06:28 PM

It's original with 99xxx miles on the chasis and engine.

Here are some quick pictures I got:

ijust1agame · 07-18-2009, 06:52 PM

What is a good and reasonable price ? I need suggestions..

S13 hatch · 07-18-2009, 07:19 PM

3000 if its perfect condition other than that maybe 2500

91 Hatch with 100k lets say, 2500
Add wheels, 500
Paint 1500
Kit+bodywork 500

These being very very conservative prices you now have $5000

$4000 is a good deal, maybe talk him down a bit.

If its really as clean as it looks and has been maintained, I'd have no problem paying $3500 for that car.

^^^dont post if you dont know wtf you are talking about. and if youd pay that much your seriously retarded.

to the OP. no 4k is not a good price. what you have to realize is that if the car looks like that, the previous owner knew what he had.....and thus more than likely beat on it. i would have been happier if is was bone stock. people sell their 240s for that much to fanboys with no prior experience. at least your doing research. personally for that car i would not pay over 3k.

however why dont you just find a stock 240, and just slowly learn how to work on your car and modify it from the ground up with what you want rather than having to settle for what the previous owner "made". (ew rotas) thats the best option i think

Seems like ive pressed a button haha.

On a side note I do know what I'm talking about, I flip 240s for a living, although I wouldnt buy a car thats in the very top of the price bracket anyway. I do know, however, that here in TX at least, that car would be sold at 4K in less than a day.

Maybe TX is just full of fanbois? who knows...

hmm. well i guess its just because my state is not oil rich. up in cali 240s are not worth anywhere near that much(thats not to say people dont try) and how do you even make profit if you "flip 240s" when you buy them for such a high price hmmmm??

ranger240 · 07-19-2009, 09:39 PM

240 prices vary by a huge percentage based on geography... a clean body (legitimately) rust free s13 would fetch big money here in the north east.. guys in canada talk about that too...

it seems like socal has no shortage of (mostly) rust free and clean cars...

find some cars comparable to the purple one in your area and build up your own appraisal.

asking some broke tyte drifter on zilvia for their opinion is silly.. like the "i wont pay over a grand" fool

in the northeast craigslist is full of 240s going for between 1500-2500.. theyre all crap though (including mine

)

off topic but PLEASE do a write up tutorial on how to do that..

and how many 240s/year do you flip? how many 240s/year does it take to be above the poverty line?

this sounds worse than those vague commercials on how to sell un-named products online from home.. like the one where the guy in front of the shitty crossfire goes "... oh and the money's great too..."

I LUV MY S13 · 07-19-2009, 01:12 AM

yea 3000 max

jamg · 07-19-2009, 01:25 AM

18 year old car.

Awesome logic

Stock R32 GTR's go for about 10k in good condition. So according to your logic stated up there ^, you wouldn't pay more than 1k for an '91 GTR with less than 100k miles?

ON TOPIC: 4k is a little too much considering, which has already been said, the previous owner knows what 240's are popular for. Which probably means he's raced and/or drifted the car. The reason for the kit and paint could even possibly due to an accident the car has previously been in. Try getting a CARFAX before you go any further in the buying process.

yep, you're right. i wouldn't even pay that much.

ijust1agame · 07-19-2009, 01:26 AM

So I assume 3000-3200 max?

in the east coast, if you would have bought that from a non-car enthusiasts, or an old person, it would be less than $1000.

but it's in cali, and the drift tax is high as hell, so expect to pay over $2000.

InlineS13 · 07-19-2009, 01:56 PM

Just cause 240 people are broke doesn't mean that these cars aren't worth anything. It may be an old car, but a nice car is a nice car. Nice cars are worth money.

turbotofu · 07-19-2009, 02:11 PM

yea in cali, if its below 2grand you either lucked out big time, or its a heap, or its an automatic.

At least from all the ones I've seen.

untrue. the proverbial "drift tax" does apply however if you walk into the deal knowing what you are talking about and start to point out things wrong with it or the potential things wrong with it than you can almost effectively negate alot of the "value" these cars have.

case in point. my red hatch. kid wanted 2k firm, i took a look and pointed out a bunch of things wrong. offered $1.3k and was firm.....he took it.

2nd case. my clean ass coupe, kid wanted $3.5k i also pointed out many things wrong with it and asked question. offered $1.9k.....he took it.

really it just is how bad you want it. looking back i wish i would have saved my money and bought a 350z lol. alas....im a 240 addict. oh well

edit. oh and as for the white hatch. youd be stupid to buy a "clean" car for that much from a forum member. (sarcasm alert!)as they obviously do not know what they have nor have ever had the temptation to beat on that car.
