Yeah he started at 2500, then after a week went down to 2300. I offered 1700 with out the rims cuz i have my own rims im not using right now.

What would you have offered?

***EDIT***
Clean frame rails, and runs and drives real good.

Yeah thats what i was thinking too, but i doubt hes not gonna let it go for that cheap. s13s in my area are pretty expensive, the only other cars I found were "needs head" "needs transmission" "doenst run, dont know why" "heads warped and leaks coolant" that type of stuff, its either this or a Honda cuz I cant spend more than 1700.

hmm well its not too bad. Not something personally i would buy, but I am kind of picky on the no accident stuff. Bent radiator support just sounds bad, and can make a clean engine bay look messed up. My .02

^^ I agree bout the no accident stuff, but im kinda desperate for a car right now, summer is almost over, kids are going back to school, and im down to one car. Honda Accord Station Wagon LMAO. I couldnt see the rad damage in the pic with the hood up, but when i inspect it closer, if its real bad, i might not get it, or offer less.

Rad support is fixable or swapable right?

I love how he says never drifted or raced yet it has a 'drift style' hood and a body kit..

If it ran good, I would pay $1500 for it. Everyone around here thinks their s13 with a body kit and exhaust is worth 3K and it's rough as hell and/or has 180K on it..

I think $1700 is a fair price. You guys saying $1000 to $1500 are either lowballing or not being realistic about finding an s13 in this condition, IMO. It's 5spd, mechanically sound and has good interior. The things that need fixing are minor. The exterior is decent and relatively tasteful.

I say get, OP... and be happy about paying $1700 for it. It's not bad, IMO.

I totally agree with you Sim. Thanks for the imput guys, your alls opinions mean alot to me!

I know Sean i say that to myself all the time. There are some dusey in my area too. One guys wants 3.3k for his 200mile SOHC auto with s*** graphis on the side. I emailed him and told him he was an idiot lmao. I personally think 1500 is a good price for it, but if he wont come off the extra 200, then im gonna suck it up, and be back on the road (and not in a Honda Wagon).
Will hopefully pic pimp this b**** out later tonight!

this car is garbage, it's been through hell, engine problems, accidents, street drifting, it's been for sale so long because everyone around here knows it's not worth more than 1K........
