Was wondering what year and motor?
I'm 18 by the way and very new to nissan and my dad said this car at his work for $1,999 and I thought great deal. I was wondering what year and what kind of motor would be in it. Everything is stock except wheels...heres pics..

I don't know too much about S13s, but with the front end I am going to guess it is a Chuki and has a KA24DE and not a KA24E. So between 91 and 93, and based on the paint I would say closer to 91 heh.

OH MY GOD, THAT CAR IS A 91-93 AND HAS A DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAM KA24DE MOTOR, MAKING 155 HORSEPOWER. EVERY 89-90 HAD THE KA24E AND EVERY SINGLE 91-98 HAD A KA24DE. God this thread is full of fail. Anyways, I would say that 2k is an ok price. The only things that need repainting are the hood and front bumper, and the rest of the car looks rust free. Those wheels are meh though. Plus it's 5 speed

Looks like she has a decent radio and you are basically guaranteed a DOHC, only draw-back is that paint, but you can replace that, especially if you don't like the color in the first place. I would say buy it, but get a mechanically knowledgeable friend, family member, or mechanic to check it out and make sure there isn't anything glaringly wrong.
Edit for ryguys post: heh, I stated all that stuff at the beginning lol why did it have to get so complicated!?

As mentioned above the car pictured is a 91-93 240sx hatchback with a KA24DE (double cam 2.4 liter motor). The jargon for the 91-94 model is "chuki"
the s13 was produced from 1989 to 1994. 1989-1990 had a KA24E single cam motor and a different front bumper. the 1994s were all convertibles.
If the mileage is decent then 2k is an alright price for it. Most s13's go for 1-3k. The paint doesn't look great so maybe you could talk them down to 1.5k. Also, there is most likely rust under the spoiler.

You can get the scratch fixed when you get it painted probably. I would jump on it if those are your only concerns. Especially if your brother is a tech, he can help you with any mechanical problems that come up.
