New to Board, Why used 240sx so expensive?

[cys19]

LET'S HATE ON THE RICERS MORE!!! MORE!! I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM. They'd better not make Nissan rice. Or else NICO'll kick their asses.

And no these prices aren't high in just one area. I've checked just about every online car buying site, and the prices have seriously gone up. $3-5k for an RPS13 with a mileage of over 170k. There's one with 200k miles on autotrader selling for 2k.

No but it was in the first movie, and if you look at every magazine cover out there you'll see nothing but 240's because of the drifting craze.

=GAY

Why couldn't they pick FC's or FD's dammit...

Leave nissan ALONE.

It's a horrible addiction, I got hooked after I bought my first 240 in 1997, for like $7k, (7 year old car). Then what did I do buy another one only better. Why did I pay the price, I love these cars, plus when I lived in Japan I saw a lot of them, I couldn't wait to find one when I came home.

You said this car isn't rare, what are you smoking?

Thats not alot of cars, and its even less considering tons of have been wrecked!

To add to the rarity, the car is VERY popular, so people buy them very quickly.



If you don't like what the price is this don't pay it and shutup

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Uh, pills, you honestly think a production run of a quarter million cars is rare? Can I have some of what YOUR smoking? My father's Ferrari was one of 50 ever built. THAT is rare. 240sx's are not rare by any stretch, unless you compare them to a Taurus or F150. 240's may be scarce in certain parts of the country, but there are tons of them in the northeast. And if you look carefully you can easily find a nice one cheap I doubt you'll see a $10,000 stock 240sx any time soon. The people that most like 240's are young and in gereral don't have as much disposable income as, say, a baby boomer.

I had a garage queen S13 posted the NICO BST section for a quite awhile. I got lotsaa dialogue about it, but there weren't people lining up to pay me a premium to buy it. I actually sold it for far less than I thought it sell for given the hype you read about on this BB. I think the 240 is a wonderful car, but I wouldn't believe the hype about how valuable they've become.If you live in an area that doesn't have many, sure, they could easily go for more. But come to the northeast and you'll have no problem finding a nice one at a reasonable price.

Like 200 dollars.

Heh-heh. well, more like $1500 for a decent S13.
