Here the Delimma. I have a chance to pick up a 93 240 Coupe SE. Car looks great has HUD and all the good stuff that year came with. Big plus. Problem is, the car is not running. Head Gasket is gone and there are a few problems. Guy is asking 3k for it. Kelly says 1850 in fair condition. But cost and demand and all that good stuff. I can easily go to a junk yard and swap the DE for another one. How much would you pay for it.

 

$800 tops

in order for it to be in far condition i think it should run.

 

find another one, that guy isn't worth trying to talk down. it isn't worth even $800 imo

 

thats right abou tthe number i was thinking. Just making sure i wasnt low ballin. Ill shoot him that offer, and if he passes Ive got a fastback Im looking at also. thanks a bunch.

 

yeah as everyone said, the guy is outta his ****ing mind. There is no reason the car should cost $3,000 and it dosen't even run.
Honestly, I don't think anyone is stupid enought to drop that kinda dough on something like that.

 

NO
240s can be hard to find, but not that hard to find that that car would be worth 3k.

 

^^like the vert. be nice if i could find one with the manual swap done. but back on topic. the banker(wifey) just set the cap to 800. Ima talk to dude and see whats up. The thing has been for sale for a while now, so I dont either he doesnt want to get rid of it, or nobody is biting. Ill flash some green and see if I cant land a 240.

 

just tell it like it is, the car is not worth what he's asking and give him your offer. if he dosen't like it too bad now he's gotta find another sucker.

about 3 monthes ago i went to see a s13 that was in bad shape. it ran strong but other than that and the new 18"s it had nothing going for it. the guy wanted $2400. he told me he had put alot of money into it. i was like really, where? my 240 was in far better condion and i doubt i could get $2k for it.

anyways rather than try to haggle is said fine keep the car. the price later went down to $2k, then he just gave up on selling it. some people think what they have is gold but it's up to the buyer to set the price of what he's willing to pay.

 

where exactly are you? i know of a 5spd convertible 240 for sale in Raleigh NC... under $4000

 

you should pay only what the car is worth TO YOU.

i paid $1100 for mine. and it's in great shape for a 92. only problem it had was a bad distributor, the previous owner didn't know that, so i got it for a steal.

there are 2 240s running around in my town driven by 2 old guys. who don't know what it's worth.

keep searching.

 

Thanks dude. I paid 3500 for it with a rebuilt engine, plus it came with everything for the 5 speed swap except the clutch. Look at what other people are paying and use that to see if the price is right.

 

i just bought a 95 s14 for a 2000 and it runs perfect ,ac and all. 3000 gs for non running 93 is way to much
