I'm looking to buy another s14.. dealership in my area has a 1995 se for sale for $ 7,500. One owner, under 80k miles, all bone stock, 5 - speed. Car is almost perfect but I still think it's a bit pricey.. Obviously it's a dealership and they're gonna jack the price up a bit but what do you guys think? Let me know with some feed back soon as I am looking at her tomorrow, thanks.

Try to talk them down and get them to throw a bunch of maintenance in like oil change,fuel filter, spark plugs/wires, distributor cap/rotor, trans oil, diff oil, check/replace all the bushings, brakes and stuff like that then you know you'll be getting a new car basically.
Post some pics too if you can

They're called stealerships for a reason. I agree with VAS13 - get as much as free if you can while still talking them down as much as possible. But depending where you are and how rust free it is, it may be worth it if the chassis and motor are solid...but if you're in an area where rust isn't an issue the price is probably going to be too high :)

Not to me. I know I would be modding it anyway so the original low mile factor means nothing to me. Thant and I just don't care for stock Zenki cars at all. just my .02 You could buy a built and swapped car for that. You know you are going to want to mod the piss out of it anyway so all that factory grandma car doesn't mean anything.

No way in hell is that worth it. Ppl are selling SR swapped S14's on coils for that price and they want $7500 for a nearly 20 year old sh!tbox? Dude that's damn near 350Z money.

I wouldn't pay more than $4000 for a stock Zenki. I don't care how nice it is. Trying to talk them down by $3500 is gonna be pointless.
