Would be worth more money if it was a LE and 98?

[VR4ownzU]

The previous owner was asking $6500 soooo your asking price is a joke.

[pinkpandaslide]

you can buy alot of nice and better cars for 11k. clean car nonetheless but if you sell it for your asking price. kudos for you.

1997 Nissan 240sx All Original no accidents
with:
200,000 miles $5000
180,000 miles $5500
160,000 miles $6000
140,000 miles $6500
120,000 miles $7500
100,000 miles $8500
80,000 miles $9500
60,000 miles $10500
40,000 miles $12000
20,000 miles $13500
0 miles $16000

You maybe can replace a 40,000 mile kouki with two at 160,000 miles. But is a brand new 0 mile kouki worth three at 190,000 miles? I would rather have the one with 0 miles.
So my prices seem a bit low when you consider rarity.

[KendallH]

When I saw the price I thought "wow, thats pretty reasonable"

Then I realized it was an ad for a 240 not a 350Z or an S2000.

[dudermagee]

Mileage is a little on the high side for me, but glws op.

[tobroketobuildarealcar]

Just going to leave this hete as a reference to how rediculess your asking price is

[silviaks2nr]

While I agree with your thought process, because this is a rare situation for this car, by no means does this mean you should expect to see someone pay that much for it. Your values above make sense in theory, but in reality there's a cutoff. This car isn't a classic (in the sense that it's value grows exponentially) so really once you hit the $8500-9500 dollar value, you will pretty much lose all potential buyers. Would someone want three 190k mi koukis over one with 0 miles? the answer is yes, yes, yes. It's awesome that a car like this exists and in my opinion you should keep it because you'll treat the car with the respect and care it deserves. But your asking price is too high for 100% of buyers on this site and you are going to get that said to you over and over again.

All of that said, I have seen the zenki you have for sale and think you have that one moderately priced because you've replaced/repaired a majority of the parts on it. I just think you expect too much from people on this forum, because most of these kids aren't willing to pay $7k for a kouki that's in perfect condition, much less this one. Keep it, treasure it, and show it off every chance you get!

[tobroketobuildarealcar]

Just a little reminder you can't trust the nileage on any non digital guage cluster expecially 240s they can be changed out and or turned back with no evidence of tampering with it

My 91 only shows 35k on the cluster that dosent mean that is what it has

[babowc]

240sx are not collector's cars, people.
BTW, you have a scuff on the passenger side bumper, and the bumper/headlights don't seem to line up very well.

GLWS, 11k!

[Kingtal0n]

Collectibles are often collectible before anybody realizes it. Thats what makes them suddenly valuable. When you realize you have the last unopened can of coke or the last stuffed teddy bear on the planet the value does what?

One day when all the 240s are swapped or wrecked, as you cant just go to a dealer and buy a fresh one that day will come; cars like this will be ________________.

choose one:
(rare, behind glass, collectible, expensive, sought, hidden from view)


Many Kouki front ends look like that when they are untouched. Check out the kouki thread on this forum; Here are some I found in just a few pages







Notice they all have the same gap as mine. Its a factory thing. It means the car has not been modified. the bumper has not been removed.
I would be suspicious if I did not see that gap when buying an "untouched" kouki.

One day it will be a classic. But thats not why I set the price high; The truth is, I was offered $10,000 for it by a member on this forum who is also local. Well, a month went by and he offered me again, $10,000. I again turned it down.

If I turn around now and sell for $10,000 to somebody else, that would be a huge slap in the face to my friend on this forum to whom I mean no disrespect.
If I sell it to anybody, the price needs to be a bit higher than what I was offered and turned away.

if you turned down 10k for a stock car then I'm sorry but you're an idiot.

[StryfeS13]

Or he is well off and doesnt need the money.

[Kingtal0n]

For this stock car from a dealership what did it cost? And what was it worth three years later? More than $10,000 I presume. Why should it be worth any less today?
Storage in a garage for 16 years also costs money that adds to the price tag. You mean to tell me that garaging the car reduced its value? Don't think so.

It would be different if the car sat in Florida weather for 16 years. But this one didn't. $12000 is a steal, its worth more than what the original owner paid from the dealer once you factor in the cost of storage.

[notatl]

worth more???? really?.........

You have to pay someone to start the car. You have to pay for a place to keep it safe and dry. And you wouldnt want to just let it sit for 15 years without starting it... driving it a little is the best possible way to keep it alive.


Its like I went back in time to 1997 and paid somebody in advance to barely drive the car and keep it dry in a garage for me 15 years in the future.
Because just buying it and sticking it into a storage bin would not be enough.

[jrm87]

So you want 12k for an auto 240sx? Good luck with that.

[KravingAKouki]

By no means am I bashing the op, but the last two pics you posted have the jdm front and I know both of those are usdm s chassis' so the fronts have been tampered with. I think your price is decently fair to the rarity of these cars kept in this condition, but it is just slightly high. Goodluck with your inquires though, I wish you the best of luck.

[Street Surgeon]

Clean car, GLWS, and thanks for the lolz!

I agree with the first part, but until they become collectibles, you can't charge "collectible price."

I'm not going to go out and pay $100 for a can of coke hoping that it could be the last can of coke on the planet...
