Time to sell my baby, so here goes.
Year: 1986
Model: 200sx
Miles: 118000
Engine: CA20E
Transmission: 5spd
Paint: 8/10 Some chips on the hood, a few scratches in the clear, 3-4 almost imperceptible dents
Body: 10/10 There is NO rust on this car, it has never in its life been driven in winter. A summer DD passed from my Uncle, to Father, to me.
Interior: 7/10 Drivers side door vinyl has a tear, otherwise great shape for 22yrs old.
Mechanically The car is in good condition for its age, I have a stack of receipts and work orders for nearly every repair done to the car. Oil has been changed every winter and spring, and at 3k intervals. Goes through about a quart of oil every 3k, although in the hotter months a thicker oil helps prevent this.
For the sake of anyone not familiar with the car, it is an s12 chassis. It is RWD, 4-disc brakes, independent rear suspension, hatchback. Shares some parts with the 300zx of its day, and is IMHO a better platform in many respects than a 240sx.
The Bad:
Needs exhaust from the cat to the muffler. This is something I would not recommend stock parts for, the stock exhaust is overly complicated.
Front tires: The rears have less than 5k on them, the front are in need of replacement.
Alignment: Steering wheel is cocked about a quarter turn to the right, although it still drives fairly straight and doesn’t pull.
I cannot reiterate how much I LOVE this car, if I wasn’t moving to a major city 600 miles away I would be keeping it. I really don’t think you will find a cleaner hatchback of this era around WNY. It is a fantastic platform for a performance car, and the large engine bay provides many swaptions.
For everyone who is going to call me crazy on the price, I know I know. I’m aiming high for the lowballers, and its tough to put a reasonable estimate on your first car. Keep the bitching to a minimum, since I know its a high asking price.
