Ill join the peanut gallery in saying, "Nice Find".

It reminds me of buying my S13 4 or 5 years ago. I had only 25K on it when I bought mine...

The other funny part is that my oldest brother had the same car when it first came out... except he had a pansy auto (uh no offense). I didn't tell him what I was getting and when he saw it he started flipping out.

Wow, excellent condition indeed. Flawless interior but the best part is the factory LSD .

No I haven't gone to any Redline meets, and I've not seen the white S14. Bummer huh? Just kidding... I'm usually not really into 'the scene'... just like having a nice/fun car. I probably know someone that knows Chris (South Lyon is small like that).

Yes that was me Shift_Oversteer. On my way to work... In Farmington Hills (12 & Drake || Thomson Gale). What a coincidence. Yeah I'd be up for Buffalo Wild Wings or just a little meeting so I can check out your rides.

S_O do you live real close to 10 & Meadowbrook?And if you don't... have you seen the house there that has all the done-up cars?

As a side note... The tires were original (for whoever it was that said they weren't).

You probably drive past my new job every day, theres a place called kip sheward motorsports on 10 mile just east of novi rd. Thats where i work now its an exotic car broker place we should definitely get a little meet goin though.

Wow...beautiful zenki! I think its the cleanest one I've ever seen and the headlights arent discolored yet lol. It looks brand new, you would never know by looking at it that it was almost 11 years old. IMO, I like the exhaust on the car and it doesnt look ricey at all. Anyways, Great find and take care of her

Yeah I guess I don't mind saying what I paid... I don't think I got ripped off but it's not as cheap as some other 240's. With that said, I paid quite a bit for it and I hope to get a lot of use for a long time out of it.

*Edit*And it needed new tires right away.

That sounds about right....except for the new tires part. I've seen a couple of other S14's with ultra low (sub-20k) mileage go for between $10 and $12k in the last year, so I think you got a pretty good deal.

Honestly, IMO, to daily drive that thing would be something of a crime. I'd tastefully modify it and then only put maybe a few hundred miles a year on it. In a few years, it'll probably be the lowest-mileage all-original S14 in the country.

Well I should say it didn't *need* all new tires... it needed only one replaced. I decided it needed all replaced.

That is so beautiful. I bought my Kouki with 69k, and I'm right at 94,000 now.. I know I'm destroying the value of the car, but I don't plan on selling it any time soon, so be it! I paid $6500 for a my 1997 Black/black leather Kouki way back when Only problem was a slightly rusty undercarrage
