hello guys , just home bored, relaxing with a few brews and was just wondering what a suitable straight trade would be for a 1995 240 sx auto, mint body, automatic sadly, high mileage. what do you guys think. Last offer i received was a 1998 honda prelude but I’m not too big on hondas since i reached my 20s… give me some input on what you think? ---

Honestly thats worth about $3500-4500 tops, if the chassis is clean. So expect to get something worth about $4000. ---

if its tiptronic then pass on it … they are prone to failure unless u add a transmission cooler. ---

How much is high mileage? If its auto with high mileage i doubt you’ll be able to pull in 3500 for it unless you get lucky. imho ---

Are you saying your aforementioned prices were “boosted?” ---

Well generally a clean s14 goes for between $3000 and $4000 on Kijiji, but at the same time, there could be hidden problems, so for the added security of this forum, people can boost the price a tad. ---

IMO, a 98 Prelude is worth a LOT more than a 95 S14 Auto, but if the Prelude is auto too, then it’s pretty fair.
