Hey guys, the time has come to sell my S13, the economy sucks. Im just testing the waters, so if you guys could give me your opinion on what you think its worth or even make me an offer, Id really appreciate it. Its a 91 hatch, HICAS, ABS, LSD, Pwr windows and locks, its in decent shape body and interior wise. It was an Auto but has already been coverted using a trans that has been rebuilt using Nissan only parts. It has Megan street coilovers, HKS hipower exhaust (the 80mm version), Megan header with test pipe, Spec stage 2 clutch, Megan short shifter, and I have a Koyo radiator and Megan subframe collars that will go with it. It has 180sx quarter glasses and tail light center section. All aftermarket parts only have 2 to 3 k on them. Now the bad, its has 211k on it, its statring to smoke so the motor will need a rebuild soon. I have ARP head studs and a cometic head gasket that will go. The AC has been converted to R134 and it does work but the compressor is making noise. The rear outer tie rods will need to be replaced soon. The cruise control works but needs the rubber bumper on the brake pedal. It has new tires but its been sitting for a few months so they may be flat spotted. If interested I have a set of Spec V wheels with decent tires that I may sell too. Thanks for your input guys, I really appreciate it.

If you are looking for people to admire your car, you should post up some pictures.

If you are looking for people to BUY your car, go to the Classifieds forum and follow the appropriate format for a FS thread.

Thanks!

I'm right there with you, with three nissans I'm getting to the point where I have to decide what to get rid of and I can't see myself getting rid of the Z so that leaves the ZX and the S13. I have already decided though that if I can't what I feel the car is worth then I'll just hold on to it.

What kind of smoking is it doing? Is it just when you first start it up ( most likely valve stem seals aka easy fix) or is it steady smoking cold, hot, idle, and driving (rings). If it's the latter I would look into picking up a cheap running KA to replace it with to boost your selling price and then throw in the old motor as a bonus. I suggest this only if you think the state of the engine is going to severely affect your selling price.
