    At least your not cocky about it like some people...I've seen you drift and you good at it from what I can see. I just hate the little punks that think they are they shit with their 300 dollar s13.

    well for one i never said anything about drifting(ive been in civics my whole life , of course i cant drift lol), and i starting liking 240s from working on z31's with my girlfriends dad, but v6's arent really my thing, and i just think s14's look nicer than s13's and koukis nicer than zenki's (IMO). and mostly i want to have something different for a change. but i really dont have to explain why i like the car, i just wanted some different perspectives on this( and i greatly appreciate all the input, its helped me with this decision). but in the end i DO want the car, i just want to cover all the basis since this is my first 240.

    The most important thing to have when owning a 240 is a sense of humor. Otherwise you will spend most of your days crying.

    I wouldn't pay more than $3500 with the damaged A-pillar, plus that sumbitch has more miles than the 91 in my sig, and my clearcoat ain't fading, either.

    I'd tell him 3k and go from there, but that's just me. Most Kouki owners think their shit don't stink and that they're sitting on a mound of gold, and some of them need to be brought down to earth. Sucks when an 18 year old car is in better shape and has less use on it.

    Your car has less miles because it's always on jackstands...

    well seeing that it does not have a beat up body kit with zip ties every where. and it is all one color with matching wheels that is pretty good for a 240

    Wow, you're right... that is good. After thinking about it, I have forwarded your description the the Peterson Auto Museum. They should be in contact soon. Any 240 devoid of primer is rare indeed and should be preserved.

    It has potential but they are asking too much for it. I got my 98 alot cheaper (granted I bought it from my brother lol).

    4500 for a stock Kouki with peeling paint and a huge bang in the A-pillar.... pass please.

    you can find a swapped s14 for that much, let alone a swapped s13.. one of my buddies got a swapped hatch with a SR making 330whp and full suspension for 2700...

    Dont buy this junk. keep looking..

    another piece, but just showing what im talking about, ill keep looking. Are you limited to Ga or do you reallly want a 240? The good deals that you have to take are going to be in TN, FL, AL, SC. ATL has some weird history of pricing there cars realllly high, let alone 240's. Especially the ones that look as shitty as mine.

    If you like it, buy it. If not, don't. Done.

    My .02 is that 240's will send you to the poorhouse, but they are a hell of a lot of fun while getting there. It's also a LOT cheaper to make a 240 fast than to make a Honduh fast. $3500 in honda swap world = b16. $3500 in Nissan swap world = RB25DET, bumping on RB26DETT.

    And I don't think $4k is too bad to spend on it. 240s are enjoying a jacked up price range these days.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
