It has a nice dark green paint job. 163,000 miles on the stock engine. It's mechanically sound and handles well. It's an automatic, should I buy or keep looking? please I need feed back

That sounds like a good price to me.If he has a new paint job and interior is good.All s13 are going to require some new paint.

List the system.I'll tell you what it is worth.I think it's a good find as long as engine and it drives smooth.Make sure the paint job isn't a cover up of a wreck look for bondo.

don't worry to much about the system, just make sure it wasn't in a wreck, no rust, etc... Then talk him down some.

Thanks, I appreciate the help, how much do Apexi exhaust tips costs, just wondering, because it has that on it too, and new tires

When evaluating a car's value, try not to just add up the cost of the parts the pervious owner threw on there, unless it's something BIG, like a cherry suspension setup or turbo install or something.

There's a short list of mods I would allow to elevate the cost of a used car:

- New performance suspension, professionally installed.- Engine swap performed by a professional with receipts.- New paint on a straight chassis/body. NOT Maaco or Earl Sheib (sp?)

Still, all this is subjective. An engine swap would only boost the cost of the car if it was a swap I would want to make myself. New suspension would have to come from a manufacturer I trust. The paint would have to be tasteful.

At any rate, the A'pexi exhaust tips aren't expensive enough to matter. It just means the fool cheaped out and didn't get an A'pexi exhaust. Tires don't matter either, IMHO.

All that said, I would pay more for complete maintenance records than any "tuner" mod. Honestly, mileage doesn't even mean that much to me, especially with regard to used imports. A properly maintained 180K car will outdo a 90K car if the previous owner of the younger car had to make compromises. And unless the previous owner of your 92 240sx wanted JUST exhaust tips, I think he had to compromise.

I officially bought the car today (because banks are closed on 4th of July)for 2400 and I'm pretty happy with it, thanks to everyone who tried to help me out. I'll try to post some pictures soon. I can't wait to start modding and adjusting my new 240.

whoa, I dunno about VA, but in OH that would be a HELL of a price. I sold my 91, had 'decent' paint, primered hatch, back bumper, and scuffed up front bumper. bolt ons, 3500.
