ok found a 95 240sx se for 3995, in good running condiation perfect interior good engine and a little faded paint but no dents, if i get this for 3000-3500 you guys think i can make more parting it out or just reselling it here in cali??the cars in kansas, in boonie land.

wootwoot · 10-16-2004, 10:30 PM

it'll probably have a good bit of rust, since its in kansas. people like you really annoy me though. take a decent car and try and sell it for more just to make a buck for yourself but make it harder for a true enthusiast to get a decent car. your jumping on the bandwagon to make some bucks

shortandsour · 10-16-2004, 10:35 PM

no rust its good hey im trying to make money to buy parts for my car damn it. and if i dont get it it probly just sit there.

AKADriver · 10-16-2004, 10:42 PM

You won't make money parting out a clean stock car. There isn't $4000 worth of stuff people actually want. It's also not cool when there were so few S14s produced to begin with.

evilimport · 10-16-2004, 11:28 PM

buy it and sell it to me for a $1000...if you wanna make some $$$, buy the whole thing and resell the whole thing, dont tear the poor car to peices, you'll probably bust half the shit in the process taking it apart anyway....

projectRDM · 10-17-2004, 05:35 AM

There's easily more to be had by parting it out, *if* you have the time and patience to sell everything for what it's worth. The problem is 240 owners are lowballing cheap bastards and refuse to pay asking price for nearly anything you try to move, so you'll sit on a lot of it for a long time.

And to hell with everyone crying about 'ruining' a good car too, the way it's going these days if you don't buy it some pissant kid will and either rice it out, wreck it, or make it trendy with an SR, bodykit, and 15 steel wheels. The less there are available the less harm can be done.

I hate people who buy 240s with profit in mind.

If the 'scene' was different, so would be my attitude. As it stands now, 75% of 240SX owners these days are ignorant little trolls who know nothing, expect everything, and don't offer anything to the community. Why give them the means to make it worse? 10 years ago it didn't matter because we didn't have these pricks floating around. Today we do. If I can do something to make it harder for them to buy a car to rape or sell them parts they need for a stupid amount of money, I'm all for it. So should we all. The other 25% that is.

**mrmephistopheles** · 10-17-2004, 09:31 AM

I know where you're coming from, Russ. I just hating seeing good cars go to waste.

MakotoS13 · 10-17-2004, 09:58 AM

i would love to see someone start making body-in-whites like the mustang boys have to build race cars out of. ya know, they take old 240's strip em down, fix the damaged parts (dents and rust), then sell us just the body.

eh, me and my silly dreams.

My old shell will be available for sell soon, so it won't go to waste. And it's a good car.

MakotoS13 · 10-17-2004, 08:10 PM

heh, we should create a zilvian application for all of those wanting to purchase our cars.

shortandsour · 10-17-2004, 09:04 PM

after thinking about this i think im just gonna use the 95 as my daily driver while my 97 is sitting in my garage in pieces.

Very few people from Zilvia would pass the application process. And only a few more from FA.

MakotoS13 · 10-17-2004, 09:39 PM

would owners of corbeau A4 seats make it? -nudge nudge-

why don't you just buy a cheap S13 and spend 2 grand on the kouki?

you say you wanna save a buck but your actions do not agree.

rizzle · 10-18-2004, 01:33 PM

hes trying to find out so he can buy parts at wholesale to save money.

aznpoopy · 10-18-2004, 03:28 PM

paint faded but runs ok?

buy it, get mothers claybar for 15 bucks. give it a good wash, detail, claybar and wax it and sell it for 4k+ for the easiest quick money imo.
