I paid $9500 for a bone stock 97 manual se w/ 29k original miles.

Which IMO is a way better deal than a 98 auto se w/ 106000 miles for $7700.

What u paid for isnt crazy IMO , I just think that the time were in now with all the recession and people losing jobs doesn't work with how much things in general cost , but theres always a rich kid out there that mommy and daddy will get them what they want .

NissanEnthus · 02-23-2011, 12:51 PM

Yeah finding a manual is hard.....9500 is a steep price but worth it for an original manual with 29K on the clock.

I found my 97 auto with 95K for $6900 at a nissan dealership in Januray last year.

I'd prefer a auto to a manual in the long run of the cars history.

Kouki_monstr · 02-23-2011, 01:12 PM

I paid $7500 for my 97 SE almost stock with 150k =\ I think it was a Lil on the high side but I love my car.

Exactly why I didn't think too much on how much the cost when I bought mine , after cross-referencing vin # to engine and tranny being an original manual car and engine . To Me was sold right away . To each their own I guess in buying cars

greddy2die · 02-23-2011, 01:44 PM

damn, i only paid 4200 for my bone stock auto 97 in 07, it had about 68xxx miles on it.

Can I use the "there's a recession man" line still?

Om1kron · 02-23-2011, 03:43 PM

LOL less talk about how much you guys are ballin, and more pictures of cars!!! kthx. =)

LOL front of car does not look happy from drive up to NorCal

NissanEnthus · 02-23-2011, 03:53 PM

I dont know about the recesion "line", but you got to remember the age demographic of who is interested in a 240. Most 18-25 year olds dont drop 8K cash on a car....they rather buy it cheap and fixable and pour money into it over time.

My paint has the 5 feet effect, looks like a mirror from 5 feet away, up close you will see how much I don't take care of the paint. It was some cheap 250 dollar shit I had mixed up. The clear isn't dupont, ppg, or anything baller. The shine comes from the colorsanding/buffing process.

The paint doesn't flex with the fiberglass so I have spidering in the fenders from wheel contact and flex and the hood is a hot mess as well.

Here is the front bumper after hitting a manhole cover while driving zilvia low.

Then fixed and freshly repainted, not color sanded or buffed.

wetsanded with 1200 grit, I think he does about 6-12 rotations in a small area with the block.

and final result (presta buffing kit)

But I have tons of swirl marks in the paint cause I wash it at a coin wash, don't have my own hose/water area to do the fancy bucket thing. I wax it only for car shows, no clay bar. There's no point this far in, plan on repainting/color changing the car after I finish building a spare motor this year.

As far as the 18's up front. You're telling me man, Those Kranze LXZ's are going to be 2012's mission cause I'm not trying to drop 5g's on rims this year.

18x10 -7 rear and 18x10 +6 up front is what I'll be going with.
