If it was running..maybe $1500 MAYBE. Whats wrong with it? If he doesnt know then take a look but do not buy it unless its simple and RUST FREE. For $1500 not running then you should get a S13 with zero rust and everything else clean plus extra goodies.

I would offer him $800 and work with him, if his mom is trying to get him to get rid of it then hell settle for a little over $1k which I could see it beeing worth that if its clean--> plus he held it for you

PITA= pain in the a$$, which it seems this car definitely would be.

I understand that he has been holding the car for you, but it will most likely be a never ending bucket of hell. Just my .02.

Just don't be in a hurry to buy. A car is the last thing you want to rush a buy on because as soon as you do a better deal will show up.

I spent a good year or more looking until I found my car, it's an auto but it was sooo clean I had too. Plus the longer you wait the more money you can save up for a better condition one.

stop sticking up for the car, it dont run. just cuz he put all this money into it doesnt mean its worth 2k, its not , 1500 is a damn stretch, but you already made your mind up and gonna get f***ed on this one too. you looking to spend 2k on a non running coupe and your mod lists include a kouki front and rimz. whats wrong with you? no offense, but youve jumped from a rusted peice of s*** thats worth 100 bux scrap, to a 800 dollar car that you gonna shell 2k for? either way i see a non running car sitting in YOUR driveway next. if someone want to get rid of the car that means you get a deal, i dont see one of those in this thread yet. WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER!

dude stfu or get off my thread!!!do you have a problem? nothing is wrong with me. im just trying to find a project car to work on and fix. didnt know that was a problem. yeah i told dude i give him 2 grand, but that doesnt mean i will in the end. i said that so he'd hold the damn thing for me. 240's are gettin harder to come by and this coupe has less than 100k miles. he also put alot of money in it. doesnt mean im gonna give him that money back. doesnt matter if the s*** dont run or not...it will shortly after it gets in my driveway!!! and i wont get f***ed on s***...im not stupid, and thats why im here asking for opinons.and just because it doesnt run, doesnt mean its not worth it. its prolly some simple a** fix that he dont wanna mess with. considering he already has a diff car and why throw money and time into something he wants to get rid of??

if you dont want comments, write your s*** on notepad and save it on your computer. you post in a public forum, you get opinions, that was mine and based on the other car you were looking at it seems you have no idea on what to really look for. if you would listen to people on here they are telling you to pass but you dont listen. i havent looked at your age but im guessing you really have no experience purchasing cars (edit, 24, you should know by now dude haha). people on here arent saying pass for fun, i got excited in the moment and i apologize, but you need to listen to people that know what they are talking about. good luck if you get it, i just think better examples are out there. im glad you passed on the other one, but i think you will sink more into this to get back to stock than what its worth.

Theres something you gotta realize & thats that WE are trying to help you, even if it seems like people on here are being a d!ck they are prolly trying to help. There all good points, there arent many S13s worth $1500 dude and thats the truth of it all, the guy is holding it for you because he prolly knows no one else is gonna fork over that much cash for that car.

I remember when I was looking at S13s just last summer and every single one I looked at coulda been "the one" and they almost always ended up being peices of crap! My dad kept being the straight headed one and reminding me that I shouldnt get excited and jump into it!

The guy I bought my S13 from wanted $1200, my first offer was $700 and he accepted so maybe youll get a good deal on this car, but dont do it unless there is very little if any rust because that throws alotta peoples plans off most times.

Like I said we are here to help so if you want to make a good decision then take our opinions into account, and if not then good luck.
