Dude I checked the kelly blue book value retail for that car is 7300 and person to person is 5700 shes asking for close to double Seems a bit excessive. And if you check out the number of bids on it Im not the only one that thinks so. I'm not sure if I should go for the s14 stock in immaculate condition or the s13 with a few minor problems but with an sr20det. If I can get the s14 for 5700-6000 which is all I would pay for it I would have about 6 thou left for whatever. But if I take the s13 ill have about 8 gs left. I'm in a bind because of the sr20det. I like the how the s14 looks better than the s13 but that wouldnt matter because within a couple months the s13 would be turning heads everywhere, also much faster because of the sr and the lighter chasis. But im not sure about the s13 working condition there might be problems that I won't know since I'm not sure if he did a good job on the engine swap. Reading the little story and the excellent condition of the S14 im sure it has no mechanical problems. What would you all do in my position.

$10,000 is a lil high, but not unreasonably overpriced for that particular car in it's condition. I mean, with 25,000 miles, it's practically a new car still! here in cali 240s HAVE been going way up! people are selling their s13s for like $3000-$4000 with mileages way up there!! it's ridiculus..

Thats exactly why im in a bind. How much would it cost me to swap in an sr20det. The 95 is in perfect condition with a black or some kinda dark blue paint job the 95 would look gorgeous. Also much more room in the backseat. Which is usefull for so many reasons

The sr20 has 40000 miles and already has a turbo with an intercooler. The backseat of the 95 looks decently sized with the front seats pushed all the way forward.

Overpriced by a couple grand at the least. Since when did S14's have a tan interior!?

hhhhhmmmmmmm i'd go for the s13 but i'd hate to buy a modded car.

i have to say s13 because of the money you would have left to dump into it.

however you could go stage 3 using 20+ psi for about 7 grand on the s14. that's built up bottom end and everything.

Well the seller is obviously mentally deficient, since she clearly thinks that her ebay ad is clever.
