Is this a good price for a 91' 240sx w/SR20DET installed?

I found a 91' 240sx w/SR20DET installed. It has 124000 miles on the car, but the engine has 56000 miles. custom boost gauge in the steerin column. Has a little rust on inside the door. The A/C doesnt run. The car is white and the driver seat has some tears in it. He wants around $7300. Is it a good offer?

That seems a little high to me, also there is no way of knowing how many miles ore on that motor. Any mods to the car other than the det swap?

wayyy to high, you can get a 91 rolling chassis for like $500, and a swap done by jspec.com for 3500, thats $4000 total, no way is it worth $7300.

another thing, personally i would never buy a modded car. i know how i drive my car, and wouldnt want to buy a car thats been driven like mine. you dont know how well the swap was done, and you dont know how hard its been dogged since then.

Thanks for the advice. There is no mods on the engine, its bone stock w/SR20DET. Its only been driven 250 miles w/the engine put in, by him. What is a reasonable price for the it?

Rust is rust. Once it appears you'll never get rid of it. That alone would send me looking for another car.

$7300? No way. Offer him $4000 tops or walk away.

One of the best parts of owning a 240SR is building it yourself.

You cant have a 13 year old car and have no rust. Also its located in the midwest where is snows and rains alot. So its kind of hard.

i have 4 240's, bot a single one has rust, and theryre all 13-14 years old.

"Its only been driven 250 miles w/the engine put in, by him."

do you know this guy really well?? do you know he didnt cut a single vorner on the swap?? chances are if he was planning on selling it he halfassed it, just to get it sellable.

like theyve said, id offer like 3700 tops.
