Buying SR Swapped Car

[S13-SLEEPER]

im looking at a 1992 240sx hatch....

i dont really like the color but whatever -_- its the baige//golden sand color one.

only reason im interested is because its the first time i ever found a 240sx sr20det swapped car at a dealer ship!! so im jumping on the deal sooon!!

BUT only problem. im not too car smart...so i dont know what to check for cuz iono if the are has a lotta problems or not??

can someone give me any suggestions????? of how to know if the car is jacked up? or good condition?

[mmashburn]

one way to find out is to drive it, listen for any noises, does it idle good, does it boost quick?? ... also, before i ever spent a dime on that car.. i would have them compression test it for me.. would you mind posting some pics of the car and also the engine??

well i think the price is a lil high.I also saw it was completly stock no boost gage no front or anything other than that. If they really want to sell car too u get compression test if they cant do that while ur there then there not worried about it.

I wouldnt pay 7 for it then after tax and title no way not me.But hey if its what u want jus check compression and ur normal checks and go with it.

If you're gonna buy that one for $7k + tax and everything...I'll sell you my 90 fastback with mods for $7000 with smog included.

haha... dude... you need to call them up right now and offer them blue book for the 240sx... see what they have to say.. in theory, modifications dont change blue book, right?

but seriously, 7000 is really steep for that car.. i would only pay 6000 depending on if everything checks out or not.. also, will they finance that car for you? get the compression numbers for us asap... they should be consistent in every cylinder.. mine was around 152 across the board.
