is 1000$ for a salvaged s13 worth it?

[Fenvy]

supposedly the car starts fine yah, supposedly...

it's a 1991 5 speed hatch with probably frame damage.... car is at 180k miles

already checked it out on kbb but I want to know what you guys think? would you invest money in a salvaged car?

[916drifter]

for a salvaged one with frame dameage (possible) and 180k.. i wouldnt. imo

[crzycav86]

No way. If the frame is bent, I'm bent on my decision.. Search harder and you can find a better deal.

[Chingon]

mine is a salvage...but to tell you the truth....I don't know why....

So you could check it out...it may have had a blown engine which was later replaced....which is always good. some ppl won't pay the restoration fees.

$200 max

500 would be too much. You might get that if you part it out.

[SienSil80]

yea screw that, you could fine a clean titled one for less then that.

i bought my 91 for 1700 and the only thigns wrong withit were the digital cluster, tires and timing chain noise.

[[DTH]240sx]

you can buy mine for 2k and it runs STRONG the only thing you need is a transmission. no frame damage, no body damage, interior good. new tires and brakes. wow, should i ask for more? lol

[Fenvy]

thanks guys

and aww dth, I'd jump on it but your're too far

[s13ofdoom]

where u located. i concure with everyone else frame damage is a no! unless u have good hookups.. well i see good ones for 1-1200 all the time just keep your eyes and ears open u'll find something.

[Bubba1]

Frame damage = parts car. You can buy a clean running S-13 for just a few hundred more.

[Fenvy]

I went to check out the car anyways,

turns out it's not salvaged as she thought it was

but it's a 1990 240sx, the sohc engine version. the check engine light was on, the shifting... it feels like I could shift into all gears with only my pinky, loose as hell. AC doesn't work, I pop the hood and it look like the compressor didn't even want to engage\

I didn't take up on the offer

I am in sourthen CA in los angeles county

I bought both my 240's with frame damage. I paid 600 for both of them. The frame damage is a easy fix, at least too people who know how to do bodywork. Neither of my cars had salvaged titles, they both now look like totally normal 240's and drive better than new. Plus it is always fun to put together your car.
