It has Konig Monsoon rims with YokohamaAVS db tires with about 85-90% tread. It is lowered with Eibach Sportlinesprings and Tokico struts. It has heat wrapped long tube headers, K&N short Ramintake, and Tsudo (wrong spelling) dual canister stainless exhaust.

that car on blue book is worth 1500 to 2000 usually

the going price, depending on condition, would probably be 1000 to 2500

for 2500 it better be REALLY good condition, the asking price of 3500 is way, way way too much

yeah, but there aint much 240sx for sale in the east coast. even there were some.. they were auto. and Far from where i live. I reallie dont want to spend that much for swaping auto to manual. Or pay 1000 or more for just shipping the car over.

it usually cost a lot lesser than that but no, I would strongly recommend you SEE and DRIVE the car before you make your purchase so ren, you are stuck with east coast market :)

it took me 3 months and after looking at 7 different 240sx, I found my car, this is my 4th car and I finally know what people mean when they say shopping for a used car takes time: it pays off to be patient and ultimately find the car of your dream.

seems sorta reasonable... i mean it is the east coast market

& he's charging ~$1k above blue book to cover costs of aftermarket parts (that's a good list, BTW) installed to the vehicle... after u test drive it/have a mechanic do a compression test & visual check, I say $3k would be a reasonable negotiation.
