What should I do with my "BASS BOAT" 56k warning

[bing]

the initial asking price for this was $6500? then down to $3500?

WTF?

This whole situation is amazing.

““its an S13 with almost 300K on the ODO I listed in the Ad that the previous engine blew and we installed a new 1 ourself”” Posted by Nelly / Nelson

So you were able to install a new engine without seeing the frame rail ? or the floor ? What a magic trick… How did you manage to do this ?

you should not be allowed on this site anymore…

[matty]

i thought this car was purchased for 1900?

im confused

[S13GG]

IFB all over this one…

[Fobwall]

I think Nelly had to know that something was wrong if he was asking $3500 and then sold it for $1900. Especially with a BRAND NEW paintjob.

[Solarian]

I dun even know why this is a discussion to be honest. Ban + sticky in buyer seller feedback to avoid buying cars from him FTMFW!

[24k240chick]

HAHAHA this is my ex’s car, He picked this up dirt cheap and spent a lot of time and money fixing it to make it look as good as it does now. The cosmetic work on this car alone is worth well over the $1900 you spent buying the car so take that into concideration. He spent way more money to get this car to the point its at right now. You get what you pay for i think you should have paid more attention to detail before makeing your purchace. If you want a beautiful car you got it. If you wanted a mint 240 you gunna have to spend a lot more than $1900!! I got my 240 from him and mines perfect, there body kits are beautiful and realy good quality but like i said… I GOT WHAT I PAID FOR. Your car is not a lost cause it drives great and looks good if you want more than that go buy a new car! PEACE

@24k240chick"

HAHAHA this is my ex’s car, He picked this up dirt cheap and MADE it look pritty to sell it to unfortunate ppl like you sorry man! You should take this as a lesson, 240’s HAVE these problems. you shouldn’t get distracted by the beauty of them – next time CHECK THE CAR PROPERLY before you buy it… its not worth fixing this car is a lost cause why do u think he didn’t want it anymore? You lost out sorry man. There kits are beautiful though they do good cosmetic work, pay more attention to detail next time u decide to buy a car. Especially from Nick… HAHA. peace

so in my belife taking a shity car, makeing it look nice to try to sell it for alot of money to some1 who dosnet know what there doing is wrong, and it seems to be happing alot… i think its the same as stealing and what happens to ppl who steal on son?

[nelly]

i dont really know what happens to ppl who steal but let me Quote this to you guys again… because you sir are still failing to Realize he knew what he was buying.

@BSZK

Hey every body thought I’d let you know what I saw, checked it out today. Nick is a good guy, straight up.

for $2000 it is a solid car, and if you like the colour then the paint will last a long time.

problems:
needs two rear tires to certify
frame needs repair(but is included) and patch floor(transistion from wheel well to floor) on drivers side
need proper front springs and probably shocks
also put in a driverside lock
dash gauges issues(fuel, temp, back light)
undercoat/seal little rust on rear left bumper/fender
ebrake(cable?)

Transmission is nice, smooth shifts, good clutch.
Engine is healthy, pretty nice exhaust note. front and rear lights suit the car. interior is in good shape, few rattles.
Brakes are fine.

While on the ricey side, it looks good. good bet for $2000.
so if I don’t get it, hope someone does (no BS floppers)

ps the wheels are pretty dope too.

What are you not understanding? …

maybe being a Newb he should have looked at the FAQ section where they have a guide for buying used S13’s i think that is already stickied.

[nelly]

can we put this in the Drama section?

[Mike240]

I’ve looked at other cars people have posted. The ones in rough shape, even though they ran, people still had the courtesy to say don’t bother driving it, the body is shot. I mean rust is rust, sometimes it gets unnoticed until it gets big, but man, that frame rail is FUBARed! It had to be deteriorating for some time, and if you had the knowledge of putting in an engine, guaranteed you had been under that car at some point in time.

It’s bad enough screwing a nobody over, but its a fellow SON member… tsk tsk tsk

[nelly]

http://www.son240sx.org/forums/showthread.php?t=322heres what i was looking for

sticky this in the Cars For Sale Section to prevent this from happening to Newbs.

[240coupe]

its not the fact that he knew what he was buying.
Its an issue that you would even sell a car in that condition knowing someone was going to try and license it for the roads.

you should of sold that as a parts car.

[nelly]

we both knew it neede frame work , and floor work, Look at sockington’s car as long as you can weld almost any car can be put back to use

[lewtz]

IFB

Take that trash to craigslist, not here.

[boomheadshot]

[nelly]

Alot of you are taking this Over board so here are some Quotes from YOU the Members that are trying to bash me now

@lucky

here ya go, dont really have many pics left of the old girl, but i rebuilt this one from the ground up the entire thing looked like the engine bay did.

cleaned up…

no matter how rotten something is, it can be fixed.

wow i miss that car.

And then theres bing "any body wanna buy a …Project Chassis

@bing

Here is a car i bought for $500 of a friend from university’s brother.

i put 28,000 km’s on it and changed the oil once… it was still getting 600km’s to a tank when it started to die… this is its current state of affairs… and yeah i knew the kind of shape it was in when i was driving…

here is the driver’s side frame rail: Nacceee?

but wait… check out the passenger side frame rail:

driver’s side floor

passenger side floor

soooo… anyone want a project chassis?..lol… still got a motor and tranny in it.

here is my coupe parts car, i paid $5600 for this like 4 years ago, then i ditched it getting sideways and parted it out.

we removed the motor and every other part of this car right where it is sitting in this pic.

Hector and Derian and Brett came down a few times to cut out the rear quarter, take the subframe, front suspension, and more.

mike (Doba) cut the roof out when i was out of town and left $25 for my mommy… she never gave it to me…lol

i still have a rear windshield and a rear bumper though… i dont wanna let this thing go.

i think Cahill got the bumper, Jantos smashed the windshield etc. etc… the car has been touched by the loving hands of many.

then there was Ed’s Red S13 that he was trying to sell heres what he had to say about it , and it was his 1st 240 …i dont htink he made a thread Complaining about it now did he?

Read at the bottom he sold this car for $1000

@240sx

my old 240 ran so mint. but the body was something else… i sold it for 1000.

or you could do this ?

@canadiandrifter240sx

Ok well most of you know my old car, the charcoal pearl drift slut that I have been pounding the crap out of for the last 6 years.

Well after 12 engines or so and well over 400,000k she has had enough, it is time to let her rest.

This hurts me as I know it hurts a few of you guys as well, there alot of memories attached to this car for alot of people. She is the one who started this all off for me and she taught me more then I ever thought I could learn from a car.

I am still working on project Bastard Child but she will be a while before she is done so i needed something to drive as a daily and still be capable of track events so, I bought a 1991 hatch super hicas non abs for $800
the car was in not bad shape except for the normal spots on the frame rail and the engine was spuing oil like crazy.

Some of you may have seen this car at the Niagara meet. It as the multi colour white hatch parked next to my grey car.

Any way here are photo’s of the old girl on here last day and the shape she was in aswell as the repair and build up of the new car which took place over the last long weekend.

Well thats all the pics I got for now. The car was finished and in stock body trim ran a 13.6 @ 105mph there is till alot to be done to it …new subframe with Bings.ca multi link and bushings and it still needs new suspension so there may be more pics to come.

Chris

your car is in way better condition , i think everyone should stop complaining on his behalf hes got a mouth and hands to type with if hes still gota a problem.

[BAS]

have to agree that allot of those cars fall into the same category of what’s being discussed here…

[matty]
