Thread: is this car worth it?

I can see your argument, but don't really agree.

A good car is always going to be a good car no matter how old it is or where the scene has moved to. The market for a cheap, fun car is always going to exist. I made the comparison to a bmw 2002 and not a chevelle....Sure 2002 prices lag in comparison to chevelles, but that doesn't mean they are less of a car. There isn't less of an interest in 2002s today because they command lesser prices than chevelles.

The main reason that I am less inclined to agree is the general shityness of the cars out being built today- especially in relation to their high price. Good luck finding a 2300 lb car that can handle well, has nearly unlimited power potential, doesn't look awful, has decent outward visibility, gets 30 mpg, has cheap parts, and is fun to drive.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of many more desirable cars under $5,000 that I really would want to own.

This is the thing. Cars before the 80's were built great. My 510 had broken down less than my se-r's have, ive owned my 510 for 8 years, my se-r's, for like a year each and put more money into my newer cars than my dime. Cars built since the mid to late 80's are just not built to last. More shit to go wrong, and the gas mileage has not gone up. I know 210's that get around 75mpg, like to see a prius do that.

i know the guy and the car.. idk if he is actually tryn to get that or just tryn to get leverage for a trade.. shoot i wish i could get 10k for my car.

it is pretty rediculous how a 240 with the same amount of mods would probably get that though..

380whp on a T25 @ 15lbs? That's scary...... even with a 75 shot of nitrous.

That means 305whp without the nos, and 290-300 is about it for the T25, same with 15lbs, that's really pushing it.

He prob posted it on CL to get a buyer at that price, or a trade like somebody mentioned. The car belongs to nolimitB13. We all know we put a ton of money into our cars and he's just tring to get back some of whats invested.

WOW there is no way I would pay 11500 for a 18 year old car..boosted or not. But that is me. I can't speak for you, no one can. In my opinion, if you are going to pay that much, you should buy a shell for cheap and do everything yourself and your way and will more likely be under 11500. No offense to the seller of the car...he can sell it for what he believes it is worth.

In order for this thread to not continue to get out of hand. In the opinion of 99.9% of dash members NO this car is not 11K.

But on CL he MAY find someone who is selling a T25'd 240sx with wheels(*insert any other RWD/AWD car) and wants somewhere around that price and they can trade.
