Good find. Drive the car in the rain when you get the itch to drift but please as previously mentioned NO drift projects.

I personally would leave it stock and drive it as a DD... it is a pretty fun car stock especially with the manual tranny.

GL and pics or BAN...

Speaking of, how much do would you guys pay for a 1995 240 with just 100k on the clock, bone stock, with a big dent in the door? Manual

owner wants 2500 for it...
that's a damn good price and find. just look over the car again and make sure there hasn't been any previous "funny" work done to the car. usually, these cars have been beat to death and are always in the category of "you get what you pay for". if any other kid had his hands on the car, he'd probably be asking for $4500.

It will be a tuner and drifter classic. Keep it stock, fix it up slowly with OEM parts over the years, turn it into a showpiece, then in twenty years time, sell it to a japanese collector for 5 times what you paid.

Either that or rice it out and drift the smeg out of it.
Japanese collector won't come within 2ft of that if they have access to owning the real deal from japan. I think of all the rps13/s13 cars, the only one with any collector value is an authentic sileighty, and good luck trying to find one. Other than that, an authentic K's version (sr20det powered). As far as the US cars go, perhaps only the 91 will have any kind of value since it had the most aggressive cams and the chuki non pignosed from bumper. The single cams aren't really sought after and are a dime a dozen unless they're clean.
2500 bucks for a clea s14 with those kinds of miles is clean, but just get a quote on the bodywork first.

nice inputs guys.

I've decided to sell it. really don't have the time nor want to deal with the headache of modding it out.

seeing the how our economy is now. If I can sell it for a good price, i'd sell it and keep the money in my pocket.

looks like an early 240sx with low mileage is becoming extinct.
