To me thats a good deal. But try to talk him down a few hundred due to the high miles.

there's no real difference between the base and the SE, only real difference is SE's are 5-lug and I think there's a chance they could have an LSD, also I think SE's have white gauges or something, not too sure, someone with an s14 help me out, I'm tired

Even with that kind of miles that car is worth around 4gs, snap it up while you can.

theres no real difference other than the 5 lug, thats the obviuos differnce, im not sure about anything else, but its all the same from what i can tell, in essence it should cause relatively the same if you were to mod a SE, just depends on what you wish to do...

what mods are you planning on doing?

Just take the base model, get some gauges, convert to 5 lug and its pretty much an SE.

nah, you just have more options in rims, haha, if you want bigger brakes, you can always do the 300zx brake conversion
