Buying an s13 tommorrow, what do i need to know?

[andisan]

I was planning to call the guy and offer him 2000 to see if he would bring it down to like 2500 then i would consider it but Im sure he knew what he had and would find someone that would pay close to his asking price(dam fan boys)But what ever,

But anyways I think the OP was asking for some heads up, well what can all you guys recommend him NOT to do or to look out for.

I would tell you to research research and research, if you dont know the car(product)you will be asking for help later on about the most simple things about it.

if u dont know jack about these cars i suggest u get a real mechanic or a well known 240 mech to take a look at this thing...77k DOHC s13 sounds like a dream, and a 2500 tag seems more fair...but it could become a nightmare if u dont know what to look for...if u can take it to a shop get it on the lift, check out the bushings, tie rod boots,, leaks, things, that many on this forum DONT, look at

that with a proper estimate come up with ur own conclusion if the car is worth it or not...

Wow you are an idiot.

That Fastback that guy posted about is a 90 Single Cam and he did not mention actual mileage, which is probably in the 120-140k range.

We are talking about a 91 Coupe aka Dual cam with 77k on it. Those do not grow on trees.

Nissan made more Fastbacks than Coupes. They also made a lot less 91-93 Fastbacks and Coupes which actually gives them more retail value due to being harder to find.

If you can not get your facts strait don't even attempt to debate with me. You will lose.

I suggest you take the cotton out of your ears and stuff it in your mouth.

i still say my 1k wonder owns u all...LOL


(im pretty sure a lot of idiots are going to think im sayin my car only had 1k miles...lol)

actually I agree with what you said earlier, that nice dual cam coupes in cali with low mileage are uncommon so that justifies the price.

but you are an asshole, and you enjoy being one.

^ Doubt Dave will debate with you on that last part.


Just messing Dave

you sir have major problems

with proper maintenance the car would be worth that, maybe more ide say. thing that bothers me is that it does look a bit weathered, like the owner didnt ever care to get it detailed or the engine bay cleaned. the way i see it, cleaning the engine bay should occur when parts are serviced. it doesnt have to look mint, it just has to look presentable. the corrosion on the brake booster looks a bit strange...


but whatever, were talking about an ancient 240sx that is in stock form, no one gives a damn.

As stated above look for obvious problems, open/close doors/trunk/hood, make sure they open/close solid. Rust shouldn't be an issue, CA car.
But look for signs, don't assume it's been in CA for 18 yrs.
Inspect all fluids, test all mechanics/electronics and then finally, take
it for a drive. AT THE END IF U FEEL IT'S WORTH IT, go for it.
Because ultimately, that's what matters.

I would suggest offering (SHOW HIM) him $2.5K.
What's the worst that can happen? He says no.
Then ask him to meet you half way, $2.7K
If he still says no, give him the $2.9K, and kick him in the nuts after he gives you the keys.
GL.
