I have a 96 240SX LE and the timing belt went on the car… Not going to fix it so just wondering if the car is worth anything to sell or just take it to the yard…

Thanks for any info on this

The car is worth about 5-6k in good shape. With a broken timing **chain** , I’d say you can still get 3 grand for it. Either way, definitely worth selling over scrapping.

Ive got a junk yard you can give it to…at my house. Seriously Ill take it off your hands as Im sure many others here will.

Give us some more details on the car. Mileage, body condition, etc.

I think you can get 3,500. Depending on the body condition. How did the timing chain brake? Start up or while moving? Anyways, if the valves are bent you can swap the head for $150-$300 (maybe even less) and sell the car for $6500.

Under body pics would help alot man…even though its impossible to tell from the outside I’m thinking underneath is not that bad.
