need some advice

[Watermelonwarrior]

right now i have a 1990 300zx na i found an amazing deal on a 94 tt and i need to sell my car. the problem is the car has 202,000 miles and isnt running right. my interrior is in amazing condition and my exterrior as well. how much do you think i could get if i part out the car?

your looking at 2000 or less

high miles and not running well, n/a I'd say 2k is generous, thats 3 strikes against it

I'd say buy the TT and fix up your NA so it runs well then sell it. You're not going to get any kind of decent money for a car that's on the gimp.

thanks you guys, well im 15 so money is real tight. i will start working this summer again. i have some money still saved but this engine is killing me. i highly doubt it is anything major but i need help. i really cant be spending money on guessing.

alot of miles and on an na that isnt running too well... 2000 would be lucky for you. parting out the car wouldnt do you much good either because most likely it would take you too long to sell enough parts to get the money you need. how long is the offer for this tt going to stand because i seriously doubt,if its that good an offer, that you'll have time to do much saving be4 the car is gone. i say get a job work and save some money and keep looking.

well i do know that the knock sensor is retarding the engine and the previous owner said its run this way since he got it. the engine sounds like there is a miss. and it smells like its running really rich.i really want a tt but i still think it would be best if i wait another year before i get a car with that much power.

If the knock sensor is bad the ecu will go to a default fuel map, which runs rich to stop knocking. Check the ecu for trouble codes and check for fouled plugs. Clean the car up a little and you'll probably get what you want for it.
