I'll probably put it up for a lot.Some people are probably going to freak out. They are going to say "but it has a stock KA. You're an idiot".

I want to list the whole car at $8000

Yeah, it's high, but I think the parts make the car worth it. All the parts are top notch and not everybody can come across them all the time.The cage, the seats, the wheels, LSD, brakes, TYPE X, paintjob, etc. It's all good stuff.

In the time that we are in now, it's going to be a TOUGH thing to sell, but there might be somebody out there who wants it.

8k for a well build car, with legit parts, new paint nah thats not crazy at all. that was actually the number that poped in my head. hell i know the wheels were a quarter of the price tag. i hate to see it go its an amazing car. i wish i have the money to take it off your hands

i'm sorry but i do not feel that the car is worth 8k, but thats just me. if some guy with a post count of 3 was asking how much you think he could sell his car for and it was the exact same car, everyone would think 8 was crazy. idk if its just cuz its bh's car or what, but when you get down to it, its mostly stock performance wise besides suspension and drivetrain mods, its got nice seats, aero and wheels. i have all the same aero (not the lip yet) so when i put it on my car and get it professionally painted mine should be worth like 10k cuz i have an sr. i'm not hating, im just voicing my thoughts on the matter. dont get me wrong, but for 8k its gonna be hard to find a buyer cuz that paint is a love it or hate it color, and when potential buyers here the price, they're gonna look under the hood and wonder where the go fast parts are

8K is a fairly fair price, but you're never going to get it. Not many people like such a nice looking 240 with a stock dual cam. I say you get 5K at the most.

yeah, I'm PRETTY sure I won't find a buyer to buy the car at $8k. I stand by the fact that it is WORTH it though.

Let's say

wheels - 2000 (keep in mind it comes with 6)coilovers - 1000seats - 1000all the suspension things - 750cage - 750

That's 5500 now.

Now, I haven't even added in the GTR brakes,steering wheel, DVD player, carbon stuff, nismo LSD, ALL the exterior parts (kit, lights, paint, mirrors, etc)and I still haven't even put anything down for the price of the car itself.

also, you have to keep in mind that I build this car with GOOD parts. if somebody is thinking the car is worth $5000, they are out of their mind. The market is obviously flooded with too many kids who are used to EBAY knock off everything. You won't find those parts here.

I just hopt there is some people left who still understand good parts vs. junk parts.



have a good 4th.

don't think too much about this. I haven't even put it for sale yet.

hmm idk, 8k is a lot of money but this car is pretty immaculate and a pretty rare gem having full kouki aero, baller wheels, and a bunch of other JDM parts like seats and what not. A sr20 swap will not add a whole lot of value especially if it's just a stock swap cuz for one, it's an illegal engine in socal and most people don't even want to touch that. That's the number one reason I didn't go sr; every 2 years I'm either gonna do an engine swap or get a under the table smog check(very pricey unless you have reliable hookups) Someone could get this car and actually drive it without worrying about getting their hood popped/car impounded, etc..

I think the car is worth more in the range of 6-7K, but I don't think a black top would add 4K to the price tag

Yeah, that's an interesting idea.It would be a gamble though. Maybe I'll be up for it though.

I sold my s14 for about 7000 (after I parted it out).

This is being LENIENT with those prices too.

I would pay 8k for a car that was built right.

even though you are being lenient on the price, you can almost never sell a car and get back what you put into it

I paid 8300 for my s14... ridiculous, but the parts were worth it imo. The car on the other hand is a bag of d!ck.

oh wayne.....

the plate is an Olympic SPL. You don't see them too often, but I ordered one.

I mounted the front plate with some simple "L" brackets. It is VERY simple.

I Promise you if you parted it out you would get alot more than 8. Those are baller parts. Its rare to see a nice s13 that someone actually hasnt destroyed. Their are non of this caliber around here thats for sure.

Yeah I might.Depnds on the audience right now though. If they don't want to spend money right now, then it's no use for me to take it apart/sell it.

I'm probably going to do a very minor part out to begin with.
