Sold my RB20 S13....

[Project240]

Yep. Wanted something more accomodating for a daily driver, and didn't have the money to own 2 cars Woulda been nice to keep it, but oh well. Sold it for $6000, the specs are still in my sig for now so you guys can tell me whether you think I got too much money for it or not enough

I bought a loaded, super-clean 97 Pathfinder yesterday, for $5700, so at least I'm staying in the Nissan family....

[WDRacing]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH, you traded a 240 for a SUV. What does your wife drive???

[Joe]

LOL! WD that is an awesome sig haha-Alex

[WDRacing]

Thankyou..I enjoy poking the SR guys in the eye when I get the chance.

[Project240]

No wife yet, I'm just a pansy. Part of the reason I bought it is for the room in the back when you fold the seats down..... :P

[Cornloaf]

either way - it sucks to get rid of it, but you got a pretty good amount for it.

[Seishuku]

Mod that Pathfinder, find a way to drop an RB into it

Justin, I require pics of teh Pathy. The only way I allowed this to occur is that you actually made money on the car, just so you know.

P.S.- *cough*all-trac*cough*

[Project240]

The cost of the car, plus the money I spent on parts (including stuff like shipping), is more than $6000. Probably about $7500. Just so YOU know

And, I still ache for an ST165 AllTrac. Or maybe a stripped ST162 GT-S with a tweaked (~200HP) 3rd-gen 3S-GE...

[Wulfgang]

I think you ripped someone off

$6k for a 13 year old car with a 13 year old engine is quite a bit of $$$. I would expect to get more like $5k from my S14/RB20DET with almost the same mods.

[Project240]

Heh, I wouldn't disagree with you

People around here are asking a lot for their cars. There's a 91 hatch with an SR for sale, it has basically the same stuff my car had, except for coilovers (whereas I have springs/shocks), a front-mount, a boost controller, and some FN-01R Cs. He's asking $9,000.....

There is no way I would sell my RB20DET/S13 for 6K ... Not even 7K ... LOL ... My build pretty much makes my car a "one of" since I used a lot of fabricated parts and put a lot of time in my build. Everyone has their own opinion what their car is worth. There is always a chance you will lose money on a custom build, but the fun factor makes up for loss before you sell your car. You have to pray that you get a buyer that will appreciate what you have done with your custom build. That way you are both happy!!!

ur crazy man ....i hav the same car and im not selling for less than 10000 when im don with it...but hey ur just being a family man but damn a 240 for a pathfinder.....is not the same ballpark...even if it is a nissan....u know ...man u know...lol

[Project240]

I wanted something to drive that was relaxing. 80% of the time, driving the 240 was NOT relaxing at all. And 80% of the time, when I'm driving, I honestly just want to get from A to B, *comfortably*, without much fuss or unnecessary attention in between. Most of the time I'd rather just chill instead of winding my car out like I'm Schumacher.

I don't have the money or time to keep up with a project car right now, either.

And, family man? ROOFLE. Holy s***, I'm 22, there won't be little Justins running around for a LONG time to come. Like I said, half the reason I bought the truck is because it's relaxing; the other half is because of the nice roomy bed-like area when the seats are down

the other half is because of the nice roomy bed-like area when the seats are down

Which will get NO use. In addition to being half a world away, miss thang ain't gunna give it up to some non-RB drivin' chump. C'mon

I use my 240 w/RB20DET for deliveries ... LOL ... and to commute. They are so practical ... LOL ... At least give up the 240 for the big Q45 with a lot of tuning potential. That is a cruiser and potential screamer ... I want a Q motor in my 280zx!!!
