Put it together, then you have a much better shot at getting more of your money back. I could help you for some of the old parts you won’t need anymore.

ok so since ur parting out, ill take the radiator and boost controller

😛 jk jk

but idk dude, honestly, i think most ppl wouldent wana pay that much money for a car with an unassembled motor, not saying tis not worth it, but theres way to many lowballers out there, i say spend a little more to get it put together and you could get liek 17k at least

btw i may end up picking up that turbo and one of the maf’s

lmao @ newman’s response …

i can see you getting 17000, if you sound someone with the money and a habit of making snap decisions

its worth every penny of that by all means, but that doesnt mean someone will buy it at that price … im gonna say 12500-13750 range maybe ?

gotta figure chinos cat went for how much ? and so many people see a car thats simply in parts, instead of a car thats dissasembled and is ready to go back together with an amazing pill of parts that will make for an ultimate combo when done

you would be lucky to get 12k… there is always that slim chance you luck out and some dumbass wants to give you a shitload of money for it, but its unlikely.

I will give you a $9,999 bank check for it… when do you want it? 😉

u know that no matter how much money is put into a car u will never get it back…like what was said before most people dont car how much u put into it…its all about what is worth to the buyer…personally i wouldnt give more than 11g for the car put together if the car had perfect paint and the rest was in awesome shape i would think about 15g…but thats only me…i am sure someone out there would want an RB26 swapped 240sx and would pay more than 15g…if u really want all ur money back or even close ur gonna have to part it out…in my opion the whole car isnt worth as much as its parts are separately…i dunno if that makes sense or not
