I would but makse sure there is no rust

also tell him 2000 because the rear shocks look broken

>>13999963
It's on coil overs so I'm pretty sure it's just lowered. and he sent me a picture of inside the hatch and the metal all looked good

If you really want an S12.

>>13999996
s13?

>>13999985
not the hatch, the undercarriage
ifixing rust there is a pain in the ass

>>14000017
should I ask him to send pictures of any specific areas underneath the car?

>>13999936

>"I was told it needs a thermostat"

Guy owns a fucking 240sx and doesn't even into the mechanicals enough to know whether his car's cooling system is even functioning.

He got the car in a trade not too long ago. He still hasn't even registered it in his name yet because he just wants to sell it. He has only driven it 15 miles but he said it runs and drives fine

anyone else have any input?

>>14000049
KA24DE motors are infamous for having multiple cooling problems. It can be anything from the thermostat to air bubbles in the system, dipshit. The guy is totally in the right.

That car looks like it want to die.

Find something else op.

>>14000982
lmao what

>>14000985
It looks like a faded piece of horse shit and those aftermarket fenders look like absolute shit. Even the front bumper.

Why not just find one that is in better shape? That car is fucking trash. The suspension looks like shit and it doesn't even have the original wheels. Wtf happened to it was it written off at one point.

>>14001021
nah it has a clean title, and the suspension can be raised. don't care about the paint too much

>>14001033
Here ya dork, I found this in two minutes. Spend the extra dough and get something presentable and re saleable.

Damn

>>14001058
I saw that too, don't want to spend that much though.

>>14001076
what

>>14001080
Why not?

Fine. Drive a ratty shit Nissan that makes you look like a failing drug dealer.

Have some respect for yourself. An extra grand is nothing when looking at cars under 5k.

Otherwise look for an entirely different type of vehicle because fuck me that is just a ratty piece of shit that won't survive much ownership.

Or here ya dork. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5344702082.html

God. Have some respect for yourself. That car you like is just a fucking rolling nightmare I'm sure and the current owner knows fuck all about it or its history. Seriously. Buy a car that was at least sort of loved. Not fucked around in doing robberies and then beaten the shit out of running from the cops.

>Stripped
>Ricer fenders
>Lowered on unknown suspension
>"Needs a thermostat" so probably overheating

It's going to die, some fag killed it. SICK DRIFT CAR BRAH

>>14001118
Wouldn't the 240sx be easier to work on?

>>14001161
I don't think APEXi is unknown... And the guy selling it says that it runs and drives fine, it is pretty cool here in the winter, I can fix the thermostat before it gets hot out.

>>14001202
Have fun Cabrone.

You should be looking at Honda products to be quite honest. You're interested in cars that have most likely lived hard lives. They've gone through two generations of teenagers already. They won't make it through another.

Be a sensible, responsible man. Do the right thing.

>>14001224
What do you think it's worth?

>>14001327
Nothing. It's not worth your time.

Get over the drifter lifestyle meme in your head and get a fwd vehicle. You can find fun fwd cars ok. You haven't tried.

All cheap rear wheel drive cars have been fucked by corks like you just wanting to hoon in a rwd car. They're sought out by corks and pass issues onto the next cork in line.

You're that next cork. But you don't have to be. Look at integras or something like it.

>>14001202

I meant "unknown" as in you don't know what they are since this guy claims to know nothing.

Regardless it's totally beat to shit and if this is going to be your first "dope whip" project car then fucking avoid it. If you're used to fixing busted shitboxes then go for it but consider that the silver one anon posted is significantly better. They're both riced but at least the silver one is riced nicely. This one's just beat.

I wonder when the last time the differential fluid was changed was. (Hint: 1994)

yo thats the hood nigga. that shits gona have fucked up grounds and ruined wiring and what not.

Butt in all seriousness You never know what you are going to get on Craigslist. I'm assuming that since you made this post and you are questioning if this is a good deal you dont know much about cars. This thing is not RTR. He mentions something that hints its overheating. One of us nissan wise fools would have to ride with you to meet the seller and inspect and drive it to find out if its worth purchasing. I'm always down to help

>>14001448
what are the big things to look for? and he told me that the guy that traded it to him told him it had a broken thermostat but when he drove it 15 miles it was fine.

>>13999936
Do it. Despite the welded diff and coilovers it looks alright, and honestly if you hate it you could easily sell it to some wannabe dime a dozen drifter and make your money back. Hell you could sell that for 3k easy and make money.

>>14001626
If I get it I'm gonna install a stereo, some rear seats, and clean it up a lot. I haven't really worked on cars very much but I'm ready to start.

Well you will have to invest in a new diff unless you're gonna drift everywhere or change half shafts all the time, but other than that it seems alright

>>14001728
How much do you think a new diff would be? and would It be better to get open or lsd

>>14001746
LSD is more expensive but preferable, I honestly don't know how much it would cost but if you get one at a scrap yard it would probably be a good bit cheaper than somewhere else

>>14001756
How long would it take to change a diff? Could it be done in a day, if so it would probably be done a little bit after I get it.

>>14001779
Changing a diff can definitely be done in a day. Just look up a guide on how to do it

>>14001793
I think I might offer him 2100 without the ps3. If I get it I won't have to daily drive it for around 12 months so that would give me plenty of time to fix it up, does that sound like a good idea?

>>14001626

What part of "welded diff and coilovers" doesn't say "this thing has been beat to within an inch of its life by an 18 year old minority who never even changed the oil" to you?

It's become apparent that OP has exactly $2100 and a ps3 and is dead set on this car though since he has ignored the reasonable people and begun selectively responding only to those encouraging his dumb shit, so enjoy your broken Datsun, OP.

>>14001809
lol, just because they modded the car and most likely drifted it doesn't mean they didn't keep up on basic maintenance.

>>13999936
I think its over priced....but..thats just me.

>>14001822
how much would you pay for it?

>>14001812

You're right. People who drop otherwise-stock high mileage S13s with rice fenders on coilovers and weld the diff are known for their tendency to use high quality parts and perform regular maintenance. I bet he treated it very well and usually just drove it to church and back, too.

>>14001841

$500

>>14001841
Max I would pay is $1,000 honestly and even at that I will be thinking thats to much. This car is just not something that turns my gears tho...if its a car you love...then its worth what you got in your bank account and not a dollar more..

>>13999936
How much does he want if you don't have a Playstation 3 to add?

>>14001924
He is pretty firm on 2400 :(

>>14001809
If it has a front bumper, carpet left inside of it, and the body panels are all the same color it is already in better shape then 95% of 240sxs.

>weld diff

Fuck that shit.

>>14002006
tell him good luck selling his bummy pos then. that car is not worth 2.4k. go contact that other dude with the 240 that actually looks maintained.

would 1800 for this be a good deal? I mean I could revert to stock fenders for like 100 and it has a clean title

>>14005665
Shut up.

Your stock fenders will have different looking paint and will look like trash.

The fact that those fenders were put on in the first place shows the last owner was a douche.

If you really cared about getting the best car for your money you wouldn't be liking at that pile and would travel around until you found a sound car.

Look in other states near you if you have too. You live on the west coast ffs there has to be something in good shape for not much money.

I don't really give a shit if the paint matches up perfectly, I won't be buttmad over 2 different shades of black.

And I've been looking around in Oregon and eastern Washington but no luck so far.

wish I could ever find something like that here. Don't really have the time or money to fly to LA for a car

Or this one is better than the last. Manual.

Just go find a way to get there and drive it back. It would take half a day.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/5337920962.html

Right now I'm disgusted with your choices and if you don't have enough saved for a decent example then KEEP SAVING UNTIL YOU DO. WHATS ANOTHER FEW MONTHS OF WAITING WHEN YOULL HAVE A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THE CAR YOU WANT

>>14005768
Maybe you could ask the guy to meet you half way.

Find a way kid.

>>14005786
Sorry for being a dick, I guess I'll just hold my money and wait until I have a chance to go down somewhere in cali. (noticed there are a lot more there) to go get one. probably this summer

>>14002133
2 theft recoverys
Don't buy it

>>14005811
No you be a dick. I'm a dick to you. You be dick to me.

We are all learning.

But I say California because it's a state of what? 30 million people? So of course second hand cars will be cheaper and there will be more to choose from.

I still think you should look at that one that was posted near the top for closer to 3k. Had new paint and was decent. >>14001058
That one

>>14005844
I like that one but it is out of my price range right now, I'll save up some more money towards a car and try to get one this summer or next winter. I don't need a car right now, just was really interested in that one I found. Flights down to LA are cheaper than I thought.

>>14005867
Ask the seller to pick you up at the airport. Get to know the car while driving back to the guys place. If you like it then buy it and drive home.

Ask a lot of questions before you go though. Maybe get some videos texted text of it running/driving.

Miles????
Also
>can't talk 2400 car to 2000

>>14006054
the guy said 200k on body but it had an engine swap 80k ago but unknown miles on engine.
