Whats up guys...

I need a cheap mode of transportation quickly and this car caught my eye. Seemed to be in resonable shape, also seemed slightly modded. (lowered, rims, exhaust was all I could see)

I'm a Honda boy, so sorry if I seem ignorant, but is this a good deal? I assume it has high mileage so are there any quirks associated with this car that I should look for? Any info is appreciated.

When you test the car, go to a road that will allow some 5th gear pulls. Get it in 5th and let off the gas. Do it again and let off the gas and hit the brake (obviously don't stop).

You are looking for a synchro failure called 5th gear pop-out. If you are a do-it-youselfer this is not an expensive fix but you might want to avoid it.

But otherwise the SR20DE is a VERY reliable engine. Do you know exactly what mods it does have? For $5500 you can just about buy a 95 200SX SE-R so keep that in mind

Ben is right. $5500 seems a bit high. Check the blue book,i think a '93 in good condition should sell for about $4500.

5500...that is not what I paid for my 95....ok my parents...but still we paid 8100, or 8000, same difference....but still why the big difference in opinion and the actually price?

but what is the milege on it? I would pay extra money to have the high port head, lsd, and low miles on something that will last me a while.

sorry I guess I forgot the important stuff...95 200SX SE-R.....all options but ABS....5speed....50,000 miles....good condition good paint and all....we had to buy new tires (we bought Falken Ziex) ...$8000 total price...
