91 240sx with 166,000 miles for $3,000 good deal?

Question

I found a 91 240sx for $3,000. The body is nice and the underside was coated a year ago. It does have 166,000 miles on it. Is it a good deal, should i buy a new ka for it?

Answer 1

d**n,

Some people don't know what they have. In south-africa it would cost like $7000 give or take a few bucks. Exhaust leak is the least of any problem. Does not take much to fix. Because of prices here, If you give me the guys number, I would speak too him for you.. (and take the car before you) LOL.

Just joking.

Nissan is my favorite car.

Answer 2

that is too much for a 91 they have the sohc ka's and there are worthless. if you get the car from this person you should offer 2000 give or take a hundred.

as for motors. i would go with a sr if you have the money to mod the car alot. if not just swap in a dohc ka and turbo it when you have the money.  

Answer 3

Off the top, that exhaust leak can be costly depending on where the leak is. AC compressor is not a big issue. What about The shell (the body) if its in good condition and you know your way around a car, then it may not be a bad deal, I would only put 2500 on the table. If that's not good enough then find something else.

Answer 4

Sounds good to me. I wouldn't get a new motor though the KA should be good for quite a bit more, just keep an eye out for any engine related problems.

Answer 5

IF there is MINOR engine damage such as the ac and other small details... its an ok deal but you could drop the price down a couple of hundred. If the car has ALOT of engine problems, the "shell" should cost no more than $1,200! Hope this helps and your are gettin one of the best cars to modify!  

Answer 6

if they lower to 2000, maybe 2500, then yes.
