    Re: preparing to sell :(

    Dont sell it

    but what are you going to do to sell it? hmm, lets see. do an oil change, sparkplugs, cleaning, detail the car.
    Make good pictures, ouside and the interior. do a detailed options list and be honest.
    I pesonally hate ads where there is limited info and on shitty pic. I just close the window and look for something else.

    Clean the car, take some decent pictures, and throw it up on craigslist. I wouldnt bother doing a tune up, its not gonna get you any more money when you sell it.

    Keep your posting short at sweet to weed out the time-wasters, and give the full story to the most probably buyers.

    I can tell you that you probably wont find a better car than you have now in what you listed. If your car is in good shape, keep it, it will last a LOT longer with just regular maintenance.

    Why it has S13 engine? if its a SOCH 2.4L from it, then you'll be in for a new engine.

    Re: preparing to sell :(

    normally when they say the motor has been replaced it may be due to the old one having been thrashed. id test drive it and put it through its paces before buying to make sure the gear box has not been drift munted, other than that, sweet car

    yeah my brother put the 240sx idea in my head, and im liking it lol...i dont know i will have about 3k. what do you guys think i should/can get for around that

    oh and it could be the KA24DE, it is dual cam, ill have to ask about it...doubt i will get any particular car i look at now, it will be a bit before i buy...but still, looking doesnt hurt at all lol its giving me an idea of what i might be able to afford.

    Re: preparing to sell :(

    that s14 probably has a ka24de which probably came out of a chuki s13 no one would be dumb enough to swap the ka24e out of the zenki s13's, i would go check it out just look for rust on the body since its common, i would personally go find a s13, they are the best :P
