4 grand, worth it?

Someone near me is selling their 1992 coupe se. The body is straight and the car has never been crashed. It comes with Eibach lowering springs, Tokico Shocks, HKS Intake and HKS Exhaust, Konig Villain Wheels, great tires, Four Spare Nissan Alloys with Snows. So what do you guys think? Is it worth it?

what motor?

well its a 92 so it if its stock motor it will have the ka24de, twin cam engine.

4 grand actually sounds like alot for a 92, try and talk him down. And which HKS exhaust does it have? How many miles?

yea ask for mileage... but if the engine is in a decent condition i'd say get it. 4 grand is a lot but it's getting harder to find clean s13's lately... well of course for obvious reasons.

I agree. Get the mileage on the car. You should ALWAYS try to talk him down, though. Don't just hand him the check for 4k.

It could be worth it...
Drive her, alot...Check her over very well...
Does everything work? A/C?

Clutch ever replaced? Brakes? Last tuneup? Hows the interior?
Good luck/skill....

Its got 136,000 miles, the AC works great, has had synthetic oil every 3000 miles, and yes it has a manual ka24de. Its actualy a pretty fresh 240. I wana post a pic here but i cant get it to work :-(

the only thing is it has an ugly racing stripe but i would take that crap off, now isnt that 240 fresh?

pretty clean, try and talk him down? where is that car located?

yeah looks good from that side.. check out the other side, the interior, the engine, the engine bay, underneath.. there's always hidden flaws

4000 for a 13 year old car!!!!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with u? he has a HKS wipty friken due!
DON'T BY IT FROM A DUDE THAT KNOWS WHAT THE CAR IS CAPABLE OF! of course he will jack up the price! i bet he thinks that u will be the greatest drifter ever too!

3000 MAX !! i don't care how clean it is 13 years old enough said!


BTW avoid young sellers and anyone who knows about the car popularity, he is not selling the car for 4000, he selling it for 2500, the other 1500 is for the DRIFT/Sport aspect of it! Don’t buy it , u know better!

Go ahead & try & talk him down...
They if its for you BUY IT!

She does look sharp, sweet rims...AND...when you think about it...What other cool, reliable sporty car is that well designed for $3500ish? Its a great VALUE when you think about it!

Take great care of it and you should ALSO see about ZERO depreciation...Not many cars can offer that, can they?

awdsr20, i think it would be obvious not to pay $4000 for that car. he will try and talk the guy down.. kaisen, if you're good enough at barganing then you'll be able to take that car from him for no more than $3200. one other thing you could do is check out prices of other 240s and their relative condition to see if this price is within a reasonable range.. one thing you could hold against this guys is the fact that it DOES have exhaust, intake, suspension and wheels. thats a sign that its been beaten to shit every once in a while. there's no way it hasn't, so you could tell the guy that theres more wear and tear on the engine than normal.. all you're doing is convincing the guy that his car is worth $3000. play it cool too, if he says no, then take off and call him 2 days later to see if its sold. you might get lucky then. but its a nice looking car. good luck with it

hey bro thats one slick lookin 240 but with those miles and it being a 92 i would try and talk him down to about 3250-3600 at least. but that depends on how bad you want it. oh and make sure and check it out for rust check everwhere a buddy of mine just bought a car that looked/drove great then i was helping him replace some radiator hoses and when i crawled up under the car the front of his frame was rusted pretty bad but luckly hes really good with metal work so he just cut it off sanded everything down and replaced it all. then he found that in the door jam it was rusted all the way through but painted over to look solid. he couldnt fix it cause it was so much rust. just be carefull

Yes, that's true. Rust spots can be hidden in very weird places. Really check it out before offering.

Thanx guys, im going to go look at the car in person this weekend and check for rust and check the engine and all fluids and stuff (although he will probibly change them before i come anyway). The guy thats selling it is in his late 30's. Ill try and talk him down to around 3400, and see what his reaction is. I'll let you guys know what happens after i check the car out. And any specific spots to pay extra close attention to for rust/ rot??

thanx again

good luck bro!

door jams/ hinges , hood hinges.
They're a bitch to fix lol, good luck

Well i went and looked at the car today, was in pretty good shape but not as fresh as it looked in the pictures. I checked the WHOLE car, only rust spot was above the left front wheel well. The rust was only visible when you look at it from the engine bay, cant see it from the actual wheel well, the rust was about the size of a dollar bill and not that bad(but was still rust). The real reason i got turned off is because most of the left rear quarter panel has been repinated, he said it was only a minor parking lot fender bender but he could be lieing. So the left rear panel didnt match, also the left front fender didnt match because that was repainted also(not sure why). Went for a spin in it and i must say it handeled extremly well, also stopped very good. The seller originally wanted 4500 for it, i got him down to 4000 on the phone. Today after looking over the car i dont think its worth more then 3700, so i ofered him 3700. He said he didnt want to go below 3900. So i walked away, was pretty hard to do since i had the cash in my pocked and i really felt like taking home a 240 today. But im going to keep looking, il keep that one as an option if i dont find anything better. O and i forget to mention he told me his son had autocrossed it a couple of times, that was another turn off because now i know for a fact it was driven hard a few times. so THE SEARCH CONTINUES!!!!! :-(

well, keep it up, and good luck... yeah autocross the car will damage it.
