is it really worth it?

[yoozef]

Is it just me or did the price of 240sx's went up a lot lately... seems like everyone is selling their 16 years old cars with 150k miles for 3-3.5k (at least in NY). i need a car, but damn, be easy

[Florida240sx]

NY prices are always high.But ya the typical 240 if it has a good body it goes for 3-4k s13 the 4-6k for s14Bought mine 2yrs ago for 3500.And I get offers today to buy it for 3500+

[masticatingcow]

Hah! I bought mine two years ago for $2100. I've been browsing 240sx prices in my area... almost a $1000 more. And we're talkin' SOHC, bone stock, over 150K miles, minor dings and fading paint.

Makes me think of selling the car. But so far, I've only THOUGHT about it...

Unless you get a better 240 or 350 or inifiniti..I'll hunt you down and put stickers over your unnicolike car

[USDM240]

yeah, prices have soared on the S13/14's here in Atlanta in the past year. i bought my coupe for $900 in February of last year. i cant find any condition 240 anywhere these days for under $1500. and those are beat the hell up too.

[Nismo_Freak]

I paid $300 for mine about 3 months ago.

[Dattebayo]

I guess I would say, dont buy them in the city.

City cars tend to rise in price when certain "fads" happen.

Search in NICO for "240sx next civic". Nostradamus foretold this...

LOL, IF I sold the S13, it would only be to help with a Z32 TT. And ONLY if I couldn't afford insurance on both!

So don't worry, I'm not going anywhere... hahahaha.

This WAS foretold, and the signs are everywhere. I dropped my little brother off at high school a couple months ago and you should've seen the looks I got. Some kids stopped talking to each other to look at the car. One kid even had the cajones to ask if "that thing was SR." I mean, yeah, it's a nice car, but obviously SOMETHING'S going on when a largely unmodded 240sx fastback gets that kind of attention. [/tangent]

LOL, honestly, unless I can take some chump and get like $5000 for the car, I think I'll just make my brother's day sometime down the line and give him the keys. I'd rather keep it in the family than make a quick buck... unless that "buck" was actually five thousand of them, as I mentioned before, at which point I think I could live with myself. LOL.

i got my 98 240sx se stock with only an intake, grille, and lip with 122,000 milesin great condition for $8000.

[XingYu]

they have went up for me too. My first 240 i bought for 2800...now i see them pretty high, especially at used dealers. $4k for a 89 with 200k miles? no thanks

[Kenrik]

My dad paid 10k for my s13... in 1989! lol...

S13s are pretty easy to find in Fort Lauderdale you just drive around and when you see one parked in a driveway ask if it's for sale they are usually owned by old folks who will let it go cheap.. also at least ten cars a month come into my junkyard some of them in almost perfect condition except for a blown motor or minor fenderbender the yard will sell the cars for about 1k

[masticatingcow]

This thread was dead for three months. Thanks PantherRacer!

[nismofly]

i remember this thread!

its been awakened!

[Pencil Shavings]

I just bought my first s13 in syracuse NY this past august for $2300..it was brought up from SC last summer too, so no winters. 140k miles, the body is mint, cleanest '91 car ive ever seen. Im super happy after having looking for a 240 on and off for years.

it also has headers, sh**ty exhaust, sh**ty looking muffler (really loud) and an act clutch and grabs well enough to chirp 3rd

now it just needs a turbo, some coilovers, and wheels

[tyrannix]

i paid $500 for my s13 silvia, in gushikawa. then $1500 for the s13 coupe in jersey to be a donor body for the rebuild. ... both were 89s
