Low baller!

[300ZXttZMAN]

5 spd swap would be easy

[whiterps13]

Just for reference, my sister just sold her maroon zenki in the Chicagoland area. It was -slightly- cleaner than yours with no door dings/dents/scratches. Only small surface rust inside the rear fender lip.

'95 240sx with 130k
Auto and 4-lug
Megan coilovers
Intake/Exhaust
A few other misc. parts

Got $4400 pretty quickly.

[tcg5014]

I would say atleast 5K all day long. I just picked up a 97 in pearl white, higher miles and not quite as clean and straight. It was also auto and I paid 5K and was more than happy with that. On top of that my bank even said they had it listed for 6500K so not sure what they do to find value but I was surprised by that.

smart people know where to find them cheap. i just saw a pearl white 97 5spd w/ 132k sell for 2750.

i know its a rare color, but its not like a 240 is a collectors car.

and maybe this should be obvious, but a bank will only lend up to
KBB value, just because its a rare color doesnt make it worth more UNTIL it turns into a classic car i.e. 60s or 70s muscle car all original numbers matching.

i'm a realist. he asked the value, i gave him my honest opinion.

if he can sell it for 6500, GOOD FOR HIM!

[jdmpure]

A classic car is considered any car that is 25 years old, then it is considered an antique after 40.

Not true. Many banks take into account that KBB is GROSSLY outdated and extremely inaccurate on some cars. They arent going to loan you $15k for the thing, but most banks are reasonable with what they will loan you, assuming your credit is good.

But at the end of the day you probably shouldnt be financing a $5k car.

Kc, you know you're just gonna end up selling it a month after you "finish" it.

You are not a realist, you are a lowballing dick. I highly doubt your story of the 2750 kouki, unless it was a shell. Kbb lists his car at 4750 with very good condition. Drift tax and zilvia have nothing to do with this. I'm sure someone that had no idea what drifting is and is just buying a car to drive would gladly pay ~5k fir this car. OP, not a cent lower than 5k. Clearly, you will be low balled, but just ignore them.

[CleanAndLegit]

5k ignore the rest

All he's going to do is throw wheels on it, dump it on it's ass like a honda, make said wheels tuck and drive it around for 2 weeks and sell it...

[Mikey McFly]

DON'T SELL IT!!!!!
DON'T DO IT!!!!!

It may not be exactly a collectors car NOW, but it definitely be the equivalent of the 240/260/280z's of back in the days. The number of registered 240's have decreased dramatically.

[jdmpure]

^^^ Agreed!

grow up a bit and read what you type before you post.

i never made an offer on his car, i do not want to buy his car, therefor i never lowballed him an offer.

i'm on my 13th s-chassis, grow up before starting a rant. i pickup s13's for less than $400 bone stock running driving clear titles, and i'll send you the link to the white 97 kouki for 2750 if you still have a stick up your ass and need the proof.

[Hoffman5982]

S13's go for cheap because they are generally ragged out. Super clean ones will catch a bit more, and I think even you know that. S14's are worth more than s13's, even when ragged out, but even more so when they are super clean like the OP's. I did read what I typed. You are the one making the accusation that it isn't worth 5k, but if you'd learn how to do some simple research kbb would show that it is in fact worth more than your measley 2750. Please, by all means provide me the link to this mythical kouki. I believe you even less since you didn't go ahead and provide it when I already showed my doubt. You say I have a stick up my ass. That's fine. I say you are a cheap ass typical s chassis owner. Maybe you are the one that needs to grow up

[Walperstyle]

Worth $8-10k in Canada. Our dollar value is about par right now.

[Marxtin]

Ddooo itttt

[qwerth]

5k but i wouldn't sell it

[HyperTek]

wow Id say 6k, because virgin 240s are getting hard to find. Again there is people who won't agree with that but it look how good the undercarriage looks. If you appreciate cars and their condition, then that price isn't too much to ask for.

Get the car detailed, throw tire dressing on the tires, it will look 6k.

Ever see a bone stock good condition 240z on the road? still impressive over some janky 240z.. wait til this gets up in age in that condition.

Thread was probably created to mess with dude who was going crazy about how expensive cars are.

Yeah, no shit, i live in BC too and man was it hard to find a decent 240 ....

5G ?? wtf.. it's hard to find a clean S13 around here for that, they all go in the 3-4 range... so an S14 is gonna fetch in the 8 - 10 range for a clean one for sure...

maybe not with auto, but still...

If you want to get 5 for it, you should post it for 6, that gives you some wiggle room, and makes them feel like a hero when they "talk you down", and if someone actually gives 6, then hey.. bonus

[JDM_Tuner]

IMO getting 5.5-6.5k would be easy, prices have gone up recently due to all the "drift tax"

anyways if the buyer is interested in swapping it to a 5spd, i have a full s14 5spd swap...

[240drifter1]

Shooted ya a text.
