Looks to be about as clean as my factory two-tone coupe. Original 5spd which is even harder to find unmolested. It is also an '89 and only 91,000 miles currently.

I just saw a '91 on ebay with 90k for $2000. It had a front end accident and needed some suspension parts for that end but its not as bad as it sounds. The rest was so fresh and so clean, Id buy it.

Maybe that car's worth 4k, I'd think.

It's impressive for being SUPER garaged, and having all the little plastic bits and stuff, but is it worth 8k? Not by a long shot, IMO.

I assume it was garaged and just driven for weekend cruising or whatever, and they kept it detailed and all.

That car pops up over and over on eBay from the same seller, gets a ton of bids and never hits the reserve.

Very clean car @ Killer.

Never know... A collector could buy the car that is linked on eBay? I wouldn't be surprised.

Someone will buy it and throw the interior in the trash and drift it into a wall.

No? Think 40 years from now. If a stock factory mint condition Vette from the 60s can sell bigtime, a 240 can. It was a huge part of the 90s in the automotive and racing world.

Unfortunately I feel the same way. It must be one of only a few left. Id garage that mother into the future at all costs.

Let's take a look under the car to determine the "REAL" value. If it is so mint somebody can eat off of it, I'd pay 5k for it firm all day long. I would definitely keep it in the garage and use it for a show car only not a daily, drag, racing, drifting,etc.

I feel like, how much could someone get for a mint S13 at a car auction like barrett-jackson? even if it was like 50 years from now....

and i also agree, someone might buy this car and ruin it. maybe we should set-up a donation fund and someone should buy it and save it...... i vote for me. give me all yur monies nicoclub! :bigthumb:

Never know what the future holds. Just sayin.

Id think twice about paying $5k, but if its close to 100% rust free and truely clean underneath, it could happen. Never $8k at this time.

Edit: Anyone else notice it was automatic? :squint:
