koukis with high mileage? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

miracosta · 02-04-2009, 10:59 AM

what are the cons of buying a kouki with lets say 160k on chassis? Like why exactly do people prefer or are willing to pay more for cars with lower mileage as opposed to 100k+? I plan to build a really sexyass kouki, but doesnt 160k+ devalue the car, so when im reselling people might want the price decreased? yet i still built ka-ts, with 220k going for 10-12grand

If you are building a really sexy car, why do you care about resale value?

sncs14 · 02-04-2009, 12:31 PM

I would never buy something that decreases in value with resale in mind.

More miles equals more use/abuse, which equals less value in most cases.

nismo 240sx · 02-04-2009, 12:43 PM

if theres no rust then your good..

whiterps13 · 02-04-2009, 12:45 PM

What a stupid fucking question.
Your asking why mileage decreases the value of a car?

Would you rather have sex with a girl who has fucked 5 guys or 50?

Agreed. Stupid question. It's not like a 97-98 240SX is different than any other car, mileage and age decrease resale value, period. The only reason these cars are selling for anything is because of bandwagoneers like you who want one. A clean, low mileage 5spd SE shouldn't be worth any more than $4k based on the car itself, but some kid who jerks off to import magazines will gladly pay twice that. In five years when the next fad hits these things won't be worth a dime, just like any 20 yr old car will be. If you're buying one now to 'make sexy' in hopes of making your money back down the road, you're an idiot.

I'll sell you mine today......for $25k. It's already sexy. Shame is it only has 59k miles.

240z's are still cheap.

Why is everyone acting like 240's are going extinct.

There were 251,410 produced.

Just because a few people total a car doesn't mean that it's some gift that is going away.

That's a bad analogy.

I'd rather sleep with the girl who's been around the block.

She knows how to work it.

The chick who has only been with five guys will be more likely to lay there like a dead fish.

True, but you also won't fall in and lose your keys in her vagina.

It indeed does. I thought about starting a singles matching site for people with AIDS. Because after all, once you've got it already a little more can't hurt.

Hmm...there are currently 1.5 million people in america with AIDS. Sounds like you got a decent market for a dating service Russ.

Start it in Africa, 22 million people with AIDS...fuck, you'd make a KILLING THERE!!!

first off, why are you building the vehicle just to sell it. I wouldn't waste my time. I would build a vehicle to drive the hell out of it. you wouldn't want to buy that vehicle when i get done with it.
I have a passion, you can't put a price on.

sirhc · 02-05-2009, 05:06 PM

Ima past mine down to my kids. Hopefully it dosn't get totaled. lol
