I didn't even see that in your description, put that shit back in, most people don't want a gutted car and those that do usually want to do it themselves, at the very least say you have the interior ready to go with the car if the buyer wants it.

nope, i dont have the interior, i bought it gutted. the back seats are useless anyways, there is no space, ask any 240 owner

I had an s13, they aren't that bad. Not bad enough to justify losing 20 pounds to get rid of them....I used my back seats all the time.

I know the car and the guy Vinnie who built it. i was there when he put the motor in the car in his driveway. I'd say its worth it. Very clean and done the right way.

6500 is the price you'd pay if it had coilovers and wheels on it too.


If you at least spent the money on the PS line and got that working and painted the hatch white like the rest of the car you'd be able to get more money. You have quality motor work but the car isn't really much to look at so you'll have trouble asking as much as you are - since appearances really make a huge difference in your asking price. Getting some 25mm spacers all around wouldn't hurt either (or just some different wheels).

i think i'll start with the interior shots, bringing the hood back down, and painting the hatch white again. damn this sale is dissapointing as hell =/

edit: speaking of apearences, i know a few good photographers, that could take some good shots. that makes a world of difference

Sweet, all my ideas. But the spacers woldn't hurt either. It really is disappointing when you see all these shit box 240's and honda's going for outrageous $$ to some dumbass because they look m4D tYte despite the fact that they blow up two weeks after purchased then a decently built car comes along and it's got a few cosmetic issues so it doesn't pull half what it's worth.

Hell yes it does, get on that one while you're taking shots of the interior.

If you need any pictures taken let me know, I haven't shot in a while and would like to.
