ok im def gonna be selling my rb20 real soon. The prob is I dont really know what to ask for. I do know how much everything costs and all that but I want a solid price. I would like a few opinions.

1990 240sx se about 160,000 miles on the frame RB20DET 60,000 kilometers in the motorWalbro 255 fuel pumpMckinney motormountsHks IntakeSudo exhaust3 inch downpipeGreddy turbo timerVLSD

ok now some small things....

the tach works but the speedo doesnt....it needs a new ka speedo sensorI have a small crack in the oil pan....I do have a replacement but just havent put it on. I have the dual 12 inch flexalite fans but havent put them onI have a dent in the front left fender

thats pretty much it. what do you think?

How about..... under 2k to a fellow Nico member who's overly obsessed with Silvia's and NEEDS a car and lives in another country

if you're not the generous type I'd sell for 6k upwards

but I think those small problems warrant a knocking down to my price lol

well if you don't need the money right now we could do a payment plan...I could send you what I earn this summer....and then with my part time job after the summer I could send u a lil bit each month

(I'm really pathetic aren't I?) I'll never get a S-chassis at this rate

Is it in good shape externally? Good paint, interior, etc? Those are important points. If so I'd say ~5k to the public or about 1 to me Replace the oil pan before the sale too.

It looks to be done right, but it comes down to the outside. I'd say with decent paint and a mostly dent free chassis high 5k to mid 6k, like I said it all depends, pics would help. O yea and sell it without the fans, you could sell them to a fellow nico member who could really use them*hint*hint*

Is the RB20 actually installed and running in the shell? Reliably?

or you can sell it on ebay for 10k like everyone else seems to think they can. and when you dont sell it, just keep listing it over an over again $500 cheaper each time.

but seriously, i would agree with most people on here and say in the area of $6k.

ya its got a straight body and clean title. the only cosmetic is the front left fender which is dented. the paint on the car as a whole though is decent. And I'm not gonna replace the oil pan before I sell it...I really dont feel like dealing with taking off the crossmember. Also the inside is decent...no dash cracks. but there are no backseats either. it does have the driver tear though.

How much you want to buy the fans for?

Of course. Ive had it in there for about 6 months now. Although I have only driven it maybe 3 of the 6 months. Everything is good on the car. I had a shop install it so it was done right.

Ya I dont think ebay is the best route with this kind of thing.I also dont want to sell my car to someone that I dont meet. reason being I'm not trying to have some kid who just got his licence go wreck another S-chassis. were losing them by the dozens.

Have you really seen em go for 10k though?

go for, no. but just look on ebay and see how many cars people are trying to sell for WAY more than they are worth. i agree with you on not selling over ebay, i wouldnt want to do that either, expecially to some unappreciative dumbass kid who just got his DL. list in locally, or here on nico, and you should be happy with what you get, as well as the person who buys it. good luck.

It would be another plus for a lot of people if you held on to the shop's recipts. That would dismiss any worries about a bad swap.
