He does state that he will take a lower cash offer. He is probably looking at setting himself up for a trade of some sorts. Trying to use leverage with the price at that level. Looks to be a very clean B13 though.

Hopefully he can sell his for somewhere in that range then it will give me hope to sell mine for more one day. We are our own worst enemies always selling our cars for 5K no matter what.

IMO... NO!!!
its not worth it, if you are looking for a boosted car you should check the cars FS section, there are currently some nice boosted cars for sale for less money...

just my opinion...

Sorry, but that's how much they're worth. It's almost a 20 year old car!

A friend of mine is selling his clean ass '99 P11 w/a 6 speed swap(heard less than something around 5 in the country) and a basically new 2871R for $6k. That's your baseline. This car is like a Civic DX compared to his car and he wants $11k?!?! wowwww

The legendary AWD 600whp b13 Sentra was on sale for Craigslist for around $13k and that car WAS worth it...

p.s. I'm not trying to hate, but I'm a realist and not a fanboy.

"Sorry, but that's how much they're worth. It's almost a 20 year old car!"

IMO, this sort of logic doesn't really fly. The b13 se-r is more desirable than any year/generation that Nissan made the car. I'll give you it is the oldest, but that has nothing to do with it's level of desirability with car enthusiasts.

I am into bmw e30s and the prices of them have been on the rise the past couple years. It is getting very hard to find clean cars for sale. They generally command better prices than the newer (non m3) e36 cars. They are commanding more money because the market has deemed them more desirable. Similar situation with the 240sx scene, try finding one of those cheaply now.

I am not defending the car in question by any means, but only a nissan enthusiast would think of comparing/cross shopping a b13 to a p11. The p11 wasn't on C&D drivers top 10 cars for 4 years and it was never compared to the universally loved bmw 2002.

Through attrition, the prices for nice b13 cars have to rise- not by the amount of the car posted here for sale.......By how much and how fast is beyond me....All I do know for sure is that is damn hard to find a nice classic these days.

I think you're undermining or not realizing the importance also that as time goes on, the number of people looking for the car GOES DOWN, proportional to the age of the car. It evens out over time. Also, as time goes on only the good ones will still be around, but the price desired for them will stay the same(except say for increases in inflation).

Look at the scene..hardly any parts being made for these cars anymore. This isn't the hayday of the B13/B14 anymore. Interest is going down as the car ages, not up.

Price will not go up unless it's found that unicorn blood is found in the chassis of all B13 Sentras. Sorry, let's get real. This isn't a 1970 Chevelle that EVERY kid at school wanted. It's a Sentra.

Do not agree with the price, but your friends P11 is not a baseline for anything but his car.

I just couldnt stop laughing at that price. Its like the douchbags with a sr20det in their 510 that instantly thinks their dime is worth over 10k. I remember when my dime was worth 3k, and now its doubled in price, and i would still only sell it for 4-5. Just hilarious, not worth it. You could do the same build on a nice b13 for way way less. And i love what he says at the end of the post. Sorry forum member if you are one, i just find it funny as hell. My 510 is worth more as she sits. Not even a 240sx with the same shit done would go for that price.
