spend $90 or so for 1 hour of independent mechanics shop time to have a full on hoist inspection…
$7000 is a reasonably large chunk of change…

you should spend some time surfing the cars for sale section here and carefully evaluating what is available in your price range

Kouki is wicked. I personally wouldn’t have even bothered asking about that first one though. Assuming you hadn’t read through the thread, it is where you’re answer lays, that is if you haven’t already found it. Go for that kouki.

i would never never pay 7000 for any 240 with 300,000 on it Sr or not. even if it has never seen a winter in its life. these cars rot from the inside out you have to be carfull with any 240 over 200,000. that car would be worth about 3-4 maybe 5 G if its in good condition.

^Go talk to gyani. Sold him a hatch with close to 400k, possibly the cleanest hatch ive ever seen. GORGEOUS. Your point is invalid. Ive seen cars with 400 that are mint, and ones with 90 that are fucked.

you may have noticed the term “mint” gets thrown around on this forum quite loosely…
seems to mean better than average around here…

I’m going to agree with the “spend $90 on a mechanical inspection” before buying any s-chassis. Too many cars look clean on the surface and after lifting it and pulling the wheels off you find someone else’s problems that are now yours.
As has been stated, mileage is NOT a good indicator of vehicle condition so don’t get hung up on it.

Thats cool, just the datz, da’s, b4’s and stuff get annoying reeal fast.
I’ll throw a +1 on that kouki though, seems like a clean car for a good price.

tacoboy and clutchfire the nice guy just asked a question concerning my car, he didn’t want you to tell him what _your_ car is worth… [](http://gifsoup.com/view/2291424/charlie-sheen-winning.html)
sure that kouki is nice, to each is there own… yet every one on this forum is all about lowballing and undercutting… most of you know what kind of money goes into parts and labour around your cars, but yet you want it all for free… lets try and be mature and quit with all this thread/car hate
