Other "low mileage" finds, I get the opposite of excited. Mainly because if you can find a rust-free B13, the rest of the car was built with extreme high quality. It doesn't take much work at all to get a B13 back to a really nice OEM condition. I can make almost any car with 80k miles feel factory new, for not that much money.

You can't do that with a lot of cars.

depending on the outcome of this I may not ever except for small things and this and that.

^ and to think I recently got very upset for buying useless 'junk' car parts for $26 (this after asking 3 times in writing very specific questions and essentially being 100% lied to) ..and the reality is that paypal offers NO help on return shipping costs (it would cost me $12.83 to send back so why should I be out $12.83 for something the seller misrepresented?) ---> I've decided to stop buying used parts for now unless in-person or someone who has unbelievable outstanding positive reviews because this type of experience just left me with a really bad attitude about buying car parts now {and no it was not anyone from this forum before anyone asks... but miata parts from a miata forum)

There are alot of eggheads here.I am glad I didnt have any money and wate my time with it,because would have went straight there when I saw the Ebay listing to check it out myself too.
I would NEVER buy a car off ebay without seeing it myself or someone really trusted checking it out for me.


I had my friend who I have known for 20 years check it out and he tells me a totally different story on this car. It is not a knock on anyone here but I WILL be able to tell if it is legit or not as I have a 96 s14 sr20det 240sx making 400 hp and have bought a 1993 Nissan Nx2000 new in 1993. So, I will for sure be able to get to the bottom of this. I am not happy at how the transaction went down so I will wait till I have time to evaluate the car before I make comments.

I dont feel knocked on LOL. I am glad you are thinking positive and holding the faith

Just remeber what I told you and also know, I bought a black 92 NX2000 off the show room floor in 1992. I have also owed a few of them and worked on at atleast 30-40 of them ranging from 91-93.

The White 93 NX2000 I bought with 50,000 miles on it about 3 years ago looked cleaner than it inside and out. The White 93 NX2000 with 50,000 miles on it had the original 195/55/14 Brigstone Potenzas. That Red 92 NX2000 has 185/60/14s. The original NX2000 tires have been discontinued about 6-7 years ago. That was the last time I saw tire rack selling them. The White 93 NX2000 was kept in a car guarage which was not enviormetally controlled or kept under a car cover. This 92 red NX2000 taken from his add KEPT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE UNDER COVER , so how the hell does my 93 NX2000 tires make it to 50,000 miles in regular conditions and all this BS with this Red NX2000 could not make it to 32,000 miles. I bet your friend did not know what type of tires the car comes with to even make that assesment.

My rims sold on this forum to a forum member looked like they were bran new. This guys rims lookd good but still not as good. The only thing about this car that was impressive was the under hood, Thats it!!!!!


Just know this, if this car was all that it would be in my hands. I did not take $6000 out of my bank and drive 2.5 hours to look at a car for fun. I had 100% intentions of coming home with it.

you have made your intentions known about this car. I did not buy it for anywhere near that type of money and so I will have to make my own conclusions. I know how Nissan made their cars and I also know how they come apart and are put back together. I would buy the bumper repainted and the wear and tear on the interior more so than anything else. Tires will dry rot especially in Florida -- My 1996 Nissan 240sx had tires on it that was 7 years old and they started dry cracking and splinting just the way it is. Unless someone bought one new in 1993 and stored the car in a house like in Ferris Bueller's then no one in the entire country is going to have an absolutely mint NX2000 because they have been out of production for 20 years. Trust me I know what to look at and what to look for on the car and how they do things so it will be examined and I will make my own judgment call.
