Bought a bone stock BP3 S14 this past March that I'd consider clean, which is something I've been searching for, for a long ass time. They exist just gotta wait and save for em.
Clout has done irreparable damage to the car community. So many nice cars got turned into literal scrap heaps. I firmly belive this is a result of the "respeck all buildz" movement, there is absolutely nothing to 'respect' with a Dodge Grand Caravan with tinted out lights/windows and a LED strip taped to the bottom for "underglow" or the seemingly infinte supply of Subarus that get their exhausts chopped to make as much noise as possible on their daily commute between taco bell and their moms house
@@Archie2100 Not to mention that it would get rid of another problem, which is the power creep aka "your car needs to make over 1000 wheel otherwise its slow". It would also open up the forums again, which would be a godsend in this day and age.
In 4 years in the car scene, I've seen maybe 3 240's I could respect for not being a general POS. It's an actual tragedy what social media did to cars like the 240sx & Miata.
Nah dude, the source of this disease was the flat black 240SX the biggest nerd at Sport Compact Car built. Before that ass, I was looking at 240SXs and you could buy a clean, stick, unmolested, torch red hatch decent mileage example for $2500, asking... ...ON LONG ISLAND. Let that sink in. DORIFTOtards merely existed on social media, they were molded by dead tree media.
To be fair, I think MAYBE I've seen one once across a dozen car shows. Then again I'm not going to the right ones and I've only seen one Celica and Supra opposite of the ones I bring in that time too.
dude went to the miata club i used to go to all the time and its all just tiktok stance miatas now. idk why you would make the best handling car unable to drive. just destroying it for no reason
I live in Poland and here it's happened with E36s. Teenager takes grandpa's old beamer out for a spin in the Biedronka parking lot at 3am and comes back with half the side panel concave, saying "it's always looked like that, grandpa".
@@notrobert8284 Chłopie kuźwa... I've been looking for a clean and cheap e36 Coupe for under 15-20k PLN (Around 4-6k USD) and there is genuinely nothing besides "gruzy" and trashed cars that some Polish "wieśniak" thinks is worth huge money because the nicer ones shot up astronomically in value and therefore all E35s are now worth 3-5x what they were worth 8 years ago. B.S. - they're trash and worth nothing. The nice ones ar unaffordable and out of reach of the middle class and average "Kowalskich", while all that is left is trashy POS worth nothing. This is sad and this needs to stop - sooner or later.
Here in Albania we have W123/W124/W126 Mercedes Diesels being driven on waste vegetable oil with half a million miles on the original engine. If you wanna get an R107 or 560 SEC, this is the country to get one in. People preserve them here even if they get used.
I have a mint 240sx convertible from 94 with a little less of 50k miles. Been using it as my daily it’s clean no dents no stains it’s basically a new car. Also I’m not a car guy and knew nothing about the 240sx until my friend told me how rare my car is lmao I been driving it as it’s a regular daily oops
@@squidikka Sacrificing quality in the name of speed. I'm guilty of that shit myself. I prefer the flavor of mom and pop joints, but some days I just say screw it and swing by whatever fast food joint is along the way because I don't want to burn any more time waiting. I just want to get home with _something_ to eat that doesn't require calling 20-40 minutes ahead. At the same time if I want mom and pop stuff I say fuck it and just make it myself with my own stir fry pan and rice cooker.
My neighbors had a 240 in his driveway since I was in middle school. No bumpers, rusted out with plants growing around it. I’m 26 and it’s still sitting there
Kinda true along with the lack modding knowledge. Not everyone likes being bullied/joked around, who knows with that person has some sort of disorder like anxiety, depression, introvert, etc.

@@CollectorCarFeed I've legit considered just getting a new GR86 just to avoid the headache of trying to find one not destroyed or potentially ran hard by Instagram boy or some shit. Already got to deal I'll never own an AE86 because of this shit.
2013 generation already is. The new one is a great looking car but I hate the Subaru drivetrain. They ever put a GR Corolla engine in it, I'm buying one
Im not gonna lie, i love watching the S chassis shit talk every week. But i totally get being done with it, I hope you start shit talking the 1st gen GT86/FRS/BRZ (as a clean title BRZ owner) because ive seen some wild ass asking prices for them
Back in 1995, when I was 16. I use to own a 1991 240sx. Excellent condition. I kept it until 2003. I sold it to young driver, completely stock. I saw my car a few years later down the road looking like Quasimodo was in a fight with a grizzly bear. I nearly cried.
As someone in the same age group as yall, I enjoy how I've been watching you guys for the past couple of weeks now and at least to me it seems like you all or mostly all of you have a deep love for the 240sx among other 90's jdm cars that get way more recognition. As someone who's owned 4 and had one stolen and stripped from me years ago, I can appreciate how much you shit on them (or to be fair the owners) at the same time as deeply caring about em.
I owned two, Netgear currently owns two, I'd like another one and that's kind of why we do this but man, it's looking like it's never going to happen again.
@@CollectorCarFeed I kind of felt that way too for awhile, sold my last one and figured I was done with em because of just having to focus on other shit in life and the exact reason you stated. But a very clean entirely stock BP3 S14 came around for sale very recently, that I'd had been searching for ever since my first car was stolen so had to get it back in my life. They're out there but definitely have to wait longer and longer for the right ones to come across. Godspeed in yall's endeavors.
@@CollectorCarFeed I think it's a symptom of being outside the south west. I'm not going to say they aren't rare. However you do start seeing stock ones parked in neighborhoods if you really look around here. These things turned to dust anywhere with actual weather. I'm in San Diego it feels like I have seen more stock cars than clapped cars in the last few years. I don't go to meets, so that's probably skewing things.
@@Audi0Surferz The clapped cars are driven by douchebags who drive them hard and oversteer them into telephone poles. The stock cars are driven by people who love their car, use their car like a sane person and don't wreck it. I bought my '93 in 2002 with 54,000 miles. I haven't driven it since a guy got in it and ruined the ignition 3 years ago- I'm now resurrecting it, but its perfect. The interior is so close to showroom condition that you'd think it was a 1 year old car. It makes total sense that only the stock cars driven by people who drive like responsible adults are the only ones that haven't been totaled. Makes total sense. These are FANTASTIC cars on which NOTHING fails if you leave it stock. These things are bulletproof. And you could change the oil and filter with your eyes closed. It's so easy. It's a dream car (Except that it'd be nice if it had 180HP instead of 155 HP, and an LSD up here in the Seattle rain, and it only gets 22 MPG city/highway). It's the only sporty car I know of that you can get a 2x12" guitar amp speaker cabinet in the back of (without even having to put the rear seat down). A useful and fun car. 7 pounds of turbo boost would be nice though!
The sad thing is that this isn't happening only in the US. Here in France the cheapest one you could find is €7000 / $7500 and the engine isn't even running plus the rear right quarter panel and the underbody are damaged. Other than that most S13s put up for sale are either pretend drift cars or have some issues the sellers don't want to repair and if you would like to buy one that has never been modified you would have to pay €22000 / $23500 or even more. If you would want to see some of these listings i could post them on the discord server. P.S: The video is awesome as usual.
Do you not like the 350Z? If I didn't already have a 240SX I'd get a 350Z. They are probably cheaper. EDIT: Here in Seattle, Washington USA $8,000 will get you a 2003 or 2004 350Z with 98,000 miles. My '93 240SX is S L O W, but I still love it!
I have an army friend, she was a mechanic, and damn good. She decided to date an autistic dude that liked to play car guy. Even got a tech job at a dealership (he would call her for answers and got fired when they found out). Anyway he had a 2016 (new at the time) challenger, that his parents bought for him. She told me that they traded that and her old beat up jag for a 240 project. I don't think i ever laughed so hard in my life, 2 working cars for a non running one, that he couldn't get running. But i gotta hand it to him, pretty sweet gig to not fix a car all day while your gf pays all the bills.
@@lipefim Not an insult, That was the excuse they used to not keep a job and as to why he would start hitting people when he would drink or get high. Going off what i was told.
@@ngsomeguy my man, just read your original comment. Just calling someone autistic and proceeding to talk shit about them, without any context why their disorder has anything to do with it, is for sure using it as a insult
This is why, as an aspiring car guy, I am going into automotive mechanics. I am going to make sure that if I wanna tune my ride or daily drive, I will KNOW how to take care of a car and not sell it as a glorified hotwheels that can't drive.
4:10 hello northeast resident here, thank you for the sympathy. Every car from Buffalo to Philly upward has at least minor structural rust, and we all just live with it.
One of my coworkers does car shows. She's shown me pictures of the other cars and it's all just wraps and stances. No one seems to want to do mechanical mods.
I hate how the car scene is nowadays, back before social media along with prices took over people would mod shitboxes for a passion/hobby instead of for mostly social media clout.
I’ve been saying the same thing about 350z, S2k, RSX and EVOs for the past 5+ years. In another 20 they are going to be worth so much because every young dude is beating the shit out of them rn and non of them are going to be left in good condition
Agreed but to be fair, I still see nice/unmodded s2k's online/irl somewhat regularly, they had the benefit of boomers buying them new as a roadster weekend type vehicle.
Little known fact - the reason these cars used to go for 500 dollars decades ago is because they were absolute massive pieces of puppy poop. Nissan is to Japanese cars as to what AutoVAZ is to European cars, cheaply made junk for the masses and the only half decent cars had niche, exclusive markets that may as well have been just politicians and CEOs. They were heavy (like a Camry!), underpowered, and despite being so heavy, they were flimsy, so flimsy that they've been described as 'wet noodles'. They however had three things going for them - they were cheap (definitely cheaper than a fox body or comparable Mustang), they were plentiful, and they were featured in Israeli-American films.
in europe its the same. I found one dude trying to sell a "98% complete 200SX" and after a bit of digging i found out there is no engine in the car. So many 200SX's with either way over the top body mods and minor engine adjustments being listed for the price of *_THREE R34 SKYLINES_* (yeah, im not kidding, you read that correctly. And a cherry on top is that he used the car for drifting) or just a really badly maintained car that has a 50% chance of starting and another 50 of just self combusting.
They were not what they are now, but if it wasnt an old grandma selling it people still wanted ridiculous money for them. Especially if someone put silvia lights on it, that was like a instant $15k car regardless of condition.
I remember my dad bought a running 5 speed 240sx back in 2004 or 05 for $600 to drive while his truck was getting fixed. Blown shocks, peeling purple tint, and a aftermarket radio that was wired in with twisted together wires and electric tape (We fixed that so the radio would stay on at least). We had a lot of fun in that car. Think he sold it for $800. Wish he'd just kept the thing now.
I know your pain, especially on old ass jdm cars. my advice is be brave and sand that shit away and repaint. hell, oil coat it, rust converter it, anything is better than nothing.
I still think you should do a saab\volvo ephisode just to see some cars with several owners that have been taken care of to remoralise you after this. THIS and they have QUARKS and FEATURES!
One of the benefit of being into marques that were never popular in America (my favorites have always been Citroën, Isuzu, Panhard and SAAB) is that they tend to get left alone and only purchased by old guys who take good care of them and treat them as garage queens.
I can’t believe the lack of attention to Volvos. They have serious tuning potential and are so cheap even for a clean one. Just not popular in the US I guess.
I'll never understand the lack of foresight when people buy these cars. I got an S12 two years ago and I haven’t done a single exterior modification except for replacing the rotting spoiler. Just now I'm getting around to doing an engine overhaul and even that would be nigh on impossible if it wasn’t for my very experienced friends. People, do your maintenance, get the car free from rust and THEN you can get to putting nice wheels on it. Christ.
I have a nice 1995 240SX SE gold color manual trans 160K original miles, stock, no modifications, no cracked dash, no rust, full new suspension. Very clean. Own it for 24 years, since 2000. Best car in the world.
NOT a 240sx guy, 90s GM guy: I feel really bad for your scene, these cars have pretty much all been abused to death and on their last gasps some doofus is trying to get 7k+ (!!!) on just junked out cars.
The fact the drift punks destroyed so many of them and left many as gutted out husks that they think are worth 5 thousand is what ruined it. I just wanted to drive an automatic one stock because they look nice but that’s just a pipe dream.
Slowly starting to see 90s jdm cars dissappear.. crazy just 10 yrs ago in 2014 there were still kickin. Only tome i see a clean 240 or rx7 is if its garage kept or drifted on a professional level.
@@CollectorCarFeed Sadly no, but with my newly acquired 240sx, a story told. To Funcoland I did roam, a Dreamcast, I seeked to own. On 9/9/99, twas a magic date, Anticipation sealed my fate. Power Stone, was my heart's desire, But fate had other games to fire. Soul Calibur, a warrior's might, along with Tokyo Extreme Racer, a neon night. Though not the prize I sought that day, Memories were made along the way.
There's curently an auction for a 97 Silvia K on BaT, and it's leagues above all the crap you see on facebook marketplace. It makes you wonder how delusional these people on Facebook really are with these prices considering how much really clean 240sx's sell at auction for even modified ones.
They're not worth what's being asked that's why no one has a 240 right now because the people are just sitting on them and can't sell them for the overpriced amount they want
@@zakbrinkhoff324 I blame the weebtax and all the social media parasites hyping up JDM shit, I miss the days wen the “know what I got no lowballer” corvette boomers regarded JDM’s as shitbox’s, at least they where affordable then
True story, I saw an automatic black S14 that looked really nice on the outside but had serious underbody rust issues that sold for $6000. Months later, I saw the same car (plus a donor frame) sold for $8000 by the same guy who bought it for $6k. Turns out that when he got it his friends were making fun of his ass on his FB profile for buying the rustiest S14 on the market. I guess he got hit hard by post-nut clarity afterwards because despite getting a frame donor he never fixed the rust. I think he wanted to use small patch panels here and there but later realized that the entire underside needed one big ass patch and just gave up. I suspect it'll be passed around on temp tags by clout chasers before finally being parted out a year later.
I gotta get that song lol. I had a slick trimmed e30 325is when I was in the army in 2011. At that time I was avoiding 240 dudes like the plague. I'm not surprised it didn't change. Same collapse happened on XJ Cherokees. Their owners didn't care and they got clapped and crushed. I have a purdy darn nice 1990 Cherokee 2dr 4wd that I've restored, literally bought it for $600 in 2019. Now it's worth $5,500 on the bottom end rn lol.
I love how we're all in agreement that the time for these cars have come and gone. The hype around it is dying because everyone just buys these cars to look "cool" and instead they look cringe. They're all hella expensive and no one wants them anymore because they are out of hype and who do want them are coping 🤷 Also CCF could you PLEASE do a subaru episode (specifically subaru XT foresters)
@11:32 to answer your question "feed". Yes, we would like to see mini trucks of back in the day.... With all these new age mini trucks as the ford tremor, nissan etc
Man you guys nailed it with the "TikTok Scene BS > Basic Maintenance" haha. I remember passing on a Kouki S14 for $4k 5 Spd because they were crazy. Times are changing!
I got a 1990 240sx coupe recently from fb marketplace, completely stock with a few problems here and there but all around clean. All things considered we got it for pretty cheap and its been hella fun to drive and work on and take care of, and I plan on keeping it mostly stock as much as I can, its a beautiful car and hella fun to drive on its own, even without clapping it the fuck out and people just gotta appreciate these cars as they are
Might be fun to see the state of the Miata market. Everyone wants one. Also, some of these may be worth asking if the frame/bushings are good and they happened to keep the stock bumpers in the back of the garage so you could put them back.
9:16 The wheels are very much period correct, Hoshino G5's 😁 and the airone hatch is a wild piece... another good videos boys and you got a comment out of me!👍
You guys might be better off buying an engine separate and then finding a clean shell. Seems like i always find clean shells just never complete cars Love the ending song 😂😂😂
New car idea, old Grand Wagoneers. Lots of charm, terrible build quality, and loves to rust. And like the 240sx, it's a status symbol but for rich people despite all those issues. Price range $2k-$102k. Some scary ones out there and others with expensive bad taste.
You guys should look at IS300s, I came close to picking up a manual swapped one a while ago, but ended up getting a super clean manual G35 coupe sport I saw driving home from work instead, literally a grandpa owned it and was selling it for the actual NADA value. I'm afraid to mod it or drive it in the winter 😅! So I''m shopping for another for trackdays, it's pretty fun to drive but Zs and Gs need the full SPL Parts treatment to feel connected at the limit.
Back in 2010 I bought a '93 Coupe for $1,300 that had around 100k miles on it. Good paint, everything worked. Bought a full SR20 red top swap for $2,000 and bought a DVD on how to wire the harness. Got that whole thing running and turbocharged for less than a rolling shell costs today. insane.
I live in the northeast so all of these cars in this video have been haunting my facebook marketplace feed for months, I'm tempted to send each one of them this video as a negotiating tactic lol
Ok, i said it during the stream but save the report, look at corvettes or something else too. Look at 240s if netgear says we have to see them but they are all shit. Thanks for the upload! Love you ❤
after 17 years of being in and around the car scene i can confirm, social media has made nearly all of the 90s jdm cars shitboxes because of retarted teenagers trying to be cool, the statement "fuckboy built" is probably the most apt description of what the modern car community, specifically the jdm community, has become. I feel like the only actual car guys anymore are the 60+ classic restorers i see at car meets, there are very few jdm and tuner guys that are actual car guys like these two around nowadays.
Want a cool JDM car that you can cheaply get that’s reliable and untouched by drifters? Isuzu Piazza (2 generations) or the Isuzu Gemini RS Turbo Lotus/Irmscher.
Im sure you guys do a bit of "off camera" stuff to mitigate this, but one of the obvious problems that may cause you all to feel like there's so much crap out there is because the legitimate good deals are potentially snached up so quickly. In theory, someone posting an absurdly good deal could have their car sold in a matter of hours. Anyway, love the humor. Keep 'em coming!
Anytime I mention my sx180 that’s actually in good condition it’s still clowned the car community has been ruined by clout and other people being pricks with their car
They are expensive worldwide because of the "drift tax", as far as i know. I remember checking online back in 2017 some used ones in good condition, and were about 4000€. Now, cheapest i can find Europe wide is a 7500€ "project" that can't even run. NGL, would love to have one, as stock as possible. But they are getting rarer, and more expensive every year. And the cheapest either are beaters, or ugly ass street-rat riced ones.
It feels so good to find people on the internet who hate the drift culture as much as I do. I’ve been saying that they’d do this to 80’s/90’s/00’s Japanese collector cars for over a decade now and no one believed me.
I’m sure y’all are tired of covering 240’s.. but tbh we show up for the knowledge, and y’all’s comedic contributions. Y’all are hilarious. And im gonna keep watching regardless what type of vehicles you decide to roast.
Stuff like this is why I refuse to put cheap coilovers on my Honda Fit. All the mods I've done are light and improve quality of life, dropping your car ti the point where you bottom out and bash in your undercarriage is not a quality of life improvement. I have 2 coworkers who slammed their cars (one of whom also stanced his). They're constantly having to do suspension work amd alignments and the one with the stanced car had to replace his oil pan due to damage. The only suspension kit I'd considet getting at this point is the HFP suspension.

I genuinely hate the current car secene. Specially here in Europe. Every car I ever liked got his price blown several times fold by the hype or inflation or all left units are ruined, tasteless uncared for by idiots who treat a car like a pair of shoes and are just in because it's trending. Gatekeeping is a moral duty at this point. If you like a niche car it's almost scary to talk about it on making it known to anyone else. Fuck.
One of my childhood best friends bought a 240 back is 2020 and the only mod he’s done is get rims and coilovers kept the rest basically stock and just maintained it. She’s an absolute beaute
A guy was selling an 240 SX on my driveway for 5000 very clean 50k miles. Someone buyed it a year ago and it's now a shit box with a blue purple paint no bumber in the back and make a mosquito sound everyday and also doesn't have interior or passenger seat anymore because Recaro seats are better I guess... It make me sad that because of such stuff thoses beautiful cars became so rare and so sought after, same goes for Miata, supra, civic and bmw 3 series.
The 240SX is dead, and we killed it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?
I bought my S13 200SX with a stock CA18DET from a junkyard for $2K back in 2020. It's been 4 years since I first stepped into the world of S13 ownership, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. These cars look amazing, but they demand time and a decent amount of mechanical knowledge if you don't want to pour endless money into them. The truth is, a lot of people sell these cars as soon as a problem pops up that’s beyond their understanding. But honestly, the common issues with the S13 are nothing that should make you throw in the towel and sell the whole car. Most of the people doing that are the ones who bought theirs for cheap, let it rot in their backyard for five years, and now think they can flip it for two or three times what they paid. And when you ask them if they'd sell, they say, "Nah, it's not in the way. I'm gonna fix it someday." This isn’t just an S13 problem-it’s a trend with a lot of JDM cars from that era.
I miss my s13, was a really clean example. Have to thank the owner in japan who sold it at 60k km’s. Only bad thing about it was a pinky sized chip on the front bumper because someone backed into me in a drive through. Besides that all stock with coil-overs wheels and exhaust. wish I kept it but it’d be impossible to daily with the summer weather in AZ and no A/C parts redly available.
I've always wanted one. When I was a kid living in a mountain town this was the first sports car I ever saw and been dreaming of owning one ever since. Now I can afford one, but between paying outrageous prices for a good clean example or buying a piece of junk, I'd rather skip.
lol the little intro song cracked me up - I had 2 95 models and a 97 model which I really liked. My list during high school would be pretty epic nowadays with a 91 300zx twin turbo, 92 Celtics got, 94 integra coupe manual, 95 prelude SI, 88 crx si My mother has had 2 86 mr2s and 2 91 Mr2s which currently one is still around - I figured here in about 5 years it will be worth about 329,000 or something ridiculous Btw a Miata was meant you are gay back in 2003 and to me I still hate it - You guys might hate it but I honestly liked the 300zx t top better than anything- it was an awesome car I traded the celica AUTOMATIC and $1000 boot to a Mexican in a Food Lion parking lot. Not sure if it was a real title, legend has it to this day it wasn’t but that car got so much attention in a small town with the blow off valve noises right around f&f was the hit movie. Great great times in life

B.S. - they're trash and worth nothing. The nice ones ar unaffordable and out of reach of the middle class and average "Kowalskich", while all that is left is trashy POS worth nothing. This is sad and this needs to stop - sooner or later.
Here in Albania we have W123/W124/W126 Mercedes Diesels being driven on waste vegetable oil with half a million miles on the original engine. If you wanna get an R107 or 560 SEC, this is the country to get one in. People preserve them here even if they get used.
I have a mint 240sx convertible from 94 with a little less of 50k miles. Been using it as my daily it’s clean no dents no stains it’s basically a new car.

You just described the 240sx mentality.

Back in 1995, when I was 16. I use to own a 1991 240sx. Excellent condition. I kept it until 2003. I sold it to young driver, completely stock. I saw my car a few years later down the road looking like Quasimodo was in a fight with a grizzly bear. I nearly cried.
bet you regret selling that thing
Why sell??
As someone in the same age group as yall, I enjoy how I've been watching you guys for the past couple of weeks now and at least to me it seems like you all or mostly all of you have a deep love for the 240sx among other 90's jdm cars that get way more recognition.
As someone who's owned 4 and had one stolen and stripped from me years ago, I can appreciate how much you shit on them (or to be fair the owners) at the same time as deeply caring about em.
I owned two, Netgear currently owns two, I'd like another one and that's kind of why we do this but man, it's looking like it's never going to happen again.
@@CollectorCarFeed I kind of felt that way too for awhile, sold my last one and figured I was done with em because of just having to focus on other shit in life and the exact reason you stated.
But a very clean entirely stock BP3 S14 came around for sale very recently, that I'd had been searching for ever since my first car was stolen so had to get it back in my life. They're out there but definitely have to wait longer and longer for the right ones to come across. Godspeed in yall's endeavors.
@@CollectorCarFeed I think it's a symptom of being outside the south west. I'm not going to say they aren't rare. However you do start seeing stock ones parked in neighborhoods if you really look around here. These things turned to dust anywhere with actual weather.
I'm in San Diego it feels like I have seen more stock cars than clapped cars in the last few years. I don't go to meets, so that's probably skewing things.
@@Audi0Surferz Yeah I live in minnesota and I have not seen a s chassis since 2021
@@Audi0Surferz The clapped cars are driven by douchebags who drive them hard and oversteer them into telephone poles. The stock cars are driven by people who love their car, use their car like a sane person and don't wreck it.
I bought my '93 in 2002 with 54,000 miles. I haven't driven it since a guy got in it and ruined the ignition 3 years ago- I'm now resurrecting it, but its perfect. The interior is so close to showroom condition that you'd think it was a 1 year old car. It makes total sense that only the stock cars driven by people who drive like responsible adults are the only ones that haven't been totaled. Makes total sense.
These are FANTASTIC cars on which NOTHING fails if you leave it stock. These things are bulletproof.
And you could change the oil and filter with your eyes closed. It's so easy. It's a dream car (Except that it'd be nice if it had 180HP instead of 155 HP, and an LSD up here in the Seattle rain, and it only gets 22 MPG city/highway).
It's the only sporty car I know of that you can get a 2x12" guitar amp speaker cabinet in the back of (without even having to put the rear seat down).
A useful and fun car. 7 pounds of turbo boost would be nice though!
The sad thing is that this isn't happening only in the US. Here in France the cheapest one you could find is €7000 / $7500 and the engine isn't even running plus the rear right quarter panel and the underbody are damaged. Other than that most S13s put up for sale are either pretend drift cars or have some issues the sellers don't want to repair and if you would like to buy one that has never been modified you would have to pay €22000 / $23500 or even more.
If you would want to see some of these listings i could post them on the discord server.

People like this are why every reasonably priced one of these cars is beat to shit and a salvage title
Little known fact - the reason these cars used to go for 500 dollars decades ago is because they were absolute massive pieces of puppy poop. Nissan is to Japanese cars as to what AutoVAZ is to European cars, cheaply made junk for the masses and the only half decent cars had niche, exclusive markets that may as well have been just politicians and CEOs. They were heavy (like a Camry!), underpowered, and despite being so heavy, they were flimsy, so flimsy that they've been described as 'wet noodles'. They however had three things going for them - they were cheap (definitely cheaper than a fox body or comparable Mustang), they were plentiful, and they were featured in Israeli-American films.

in europe its the same. I found one dude trying to sell a "98% complete 200SX" and after a bit of digging i found out there is no engine in the car. So many 200SX's with either way over the top body mods and minor engine adjustments being listed for the price of *_THREE R34 SKYLINES_* (yeah, im not kidding, you read that correctly. And a cherry on top is that he used the car for drifting) or just a really badly maintained car that has a 50% chance of starting and another 50 of just self combusting.
Even back in 2005 95% of 240sx's were piles of shit.
Did the prices at least match the condition of the car
They were not what they are now, but if it wasnt an old grandma selling it people still wanted ridiculous money for them. Especially if someone put silvia lights on it, that was like a instant $15k car regardless of condition.
The good old days lol my buddy got a running hatch from police auction for 200$ haha it had sugar in the tank tho
I remember my dad bought a running 5 speed 240sx back in 2004 or 05 for $600 to drive while his truck was getting fixed. Blown shocks, peeling purple tint, and a aftermarket radio that was wired in with twisted together wires and electric tape (We fixed that so the radio would stay on at least). We had a lot of fun in that car. Think he sold it for $800. Wish he'd just kept the thing now.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!?
Good....gooooood
I still think you should do a saab\volvo ephisode just to see some cars with several owners that have been taken care of to remoralise you after this.
THIS and they have QUARKS and FEATURES!
One of the benefit of being into marques that were never popular in America (my favorites have always been Citroën, Isuzu, Panhard and SAAB) is that they tend to get left alone and only purchased by old guys who take good care of them and treat them as garage queens.
I can’t believe the lack of attention to Volvos. They have serious tuning potential and are so cheap even for a clean one. Just not popular in the US I guess.
I'll never understand the lack of foresight when people buy these cars. I got an S12 two years ago and I haven’t done a single exterior modification except for replacing the rotting spoiler.
Just now I'm getting around to doing an engine overhaul and even that would be nigh on impossible if it wasn’t for my very experienced friends.
People, do your maintenance, get the car free from rust and THEN you can get to putting nice wheels on it. Christ.
I have a nice 1995 240SX SE gold color manual trans 160K original miles, stock, no modifications, no cracked dash, no rust, full new suspension. Very clean. Own it for 24 years, since 2000. Best car in the world.
NOT a 240sx guy, 90s GM guy: I feel really bad for your scene, these cars have pretty much all been abused to death and on their last gasps some doofus is trying to get 7k+ (!!!) on just junked out cars.
The fact the drift punks destroyed so many of them and left many as gutted out husks that they think are worth 5 thousand is what ruined it. I just wanted to drive an automatic one stock because they look nice but that’s just a pipe dream.
Slowly starting to see 90s jdm cars dissappear.. crazy just 10 yrs ago in 2014 there were still kickin. Only tome i see a clean 240 or rx7 is if its garage kept or drifted on a professional level.

True story, I saw an automatic black S14 that looked really nice on the outside but had serious underbody rust issues that sold for $6000. Months later, I saw the same car (plus a donor frame) sold for $8000 by the same guy who bought it for $6k. Turns out that when he got it his friends were making fun of his ass on his FB profile for buying the rustiest S14 on the market. I guess he got hit hard by post-nut clarity afterwards because despite getting a frame donor he never fixed the rust. I think he wanted to use small patch panels here and there but later realized that the entire underside needed one big ass patch and just gave up. I suspect it'll be passed around on temp tags by clout chasers before finally being parted out a year later.
I gotta get that song lol.
I had a slick trimmed e30 325is when I was in the army in 2011. At that time I was avoiding 240 dudes like the plague. I'm not surprised it didn't change.
Same collapse happened on XJ Cherokees.
Their owners didn't care and they got clapped and crushed.
I have a purdy darn nice 1990 Cherokee 2dr 4wd that I've restored, literally bought it for $600 in 2019.
Now it's worth $5,500 on the bottom end rn lol.

the only good mod is a SR20 swap

New car idea, old Grand Wagoneers. Lots of charm, terrible build quality, and loves to rust. And like the 240sx, it's a status symbol but for rich people despite all those issues. Price range $2k-$102k. Some scary ones out there and others with expensive bad taste.
You guys should look at IS300s, I came close to picking up a manual swapped one a while ago, but ended up getting a super clean manual G35 coupe sport I saw driving home from work instead, literally a grandpa owned it and was selling it for the actual NADA value.

after 17 years of being in and around the car scene i can confirm, social media has made nearly all of the 90s jdm cars shitboxes because of retarted teenagers trying to be cool, the statement "fuckboy built" is probably the most apt description of what the modern car community, specifically the jdm community, has become. I feel like the only actual car guys anymore are the 60+ classic restorers i see at car meets, there are very few jdm and tuner guys that are actual car guys like these two around nowadays.
Want a cool JDM car that you can cheaply get that’s reliable and untouched by drifters? Isuzu Piazza (2 generations) or the Isuzu Gemini RS Turbo Lotus/Irmscher.
Im sure you guys do a bit of "off camera" stuff to mitigate this, but one of the obvious problems that may cause you all to feel like there's so much crap out there is because the legitimate good deals are potentially snached up so quickly. In theory, someone posting an absurdly good deal could have their car sold in a matter of hours. Anyway, love the humor. Keep 'em coming!
Anytime I mention my sx180 that’s actually in good condition it’s still clowned the car community has been ruined by clout and other people being pricks with their car
Ok. But I need that song from the end. Buddy of mine runs a shop and is a big S/Z/R chassis buff and I think he'd get a kick out of it.
3k for a rusty rolling shell is the norm
They are expensive worldwide because of the "drift tax", as far as i know. I remember checking online back in 2017 some used ones in good condition, and were about 4000€. Now, cheapest i can find Europe wide is a 7500€ "project" that can't even run.
NGL, would love to have one, as stock as possible. But they are getting rarer, and more expensive every year. And the cheapest either are beaters, or ugly ass street-rat riced ones.
It feels so good to find people on the internet who hate the drift culture as much as I do. I’ve been saying that they’d do this to 80’s/90’s/00’s Japanese collector cars for over a decade now and no one believed me.

It make me sad that because of such stuff thoses beautiful cars became so rare and so sought after, same goes for Miata, supra, civic and bmw 3 series.
The 240SX is dead, and we killed it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?
Immediately recognized the thumbnail as the backyard shitbox that’s been listed forever in az. I have a marketplace problem.
nah I be looking at that shit like every day
i hate social media edits they are so cringe
it makes me so sad to see these cars so expensive, it’s been my dream car since i first discovered what drifting was
I bought my S13 200SX with a stock CA18DET from a junkyard for $2K back in 2020. It's been 4 years since I first stepped into the world of S13 ownership, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. These cars look amazing, but they demand time and a decent amount of mechanical knowledge if you don't want to pour endless money into them.
The truth is, a lot of people sell these cars as soon as a problem pops up that’s beyond their understanding. But honestly, the common issues with the S13 are nothing that should make you throw in the towel and sell the whole car. Most of the people doing that are the ones who bought theirs for cheap, let it rot in their backyard for five years, and now think they can flip it for two or three times what they paid. And when you ask them if they'd sell, they say, "Nah, it's not in the way. I'm gonna fix it someday."
This isn’t just an S13 problem-it’s a trend with a lot of JDM cars from that era.
“IMA MODDER BUT OOPSIE DOOPSIE I CANT AFFORD A CLUTCH LEMME SELL THE CARRRR”💀💀💀
These cars startin to look like the starter cars in racing games 😢😂
I mean one of the starter cars in NFS Unbound is a 240 🤷♂️
@@servicerifle16 One of the starter options in NFSU2 is also a 240 (why do I remember this?)
I miss my s13, was a really clean example. Have to thank the owner in japan who sold it at 60k km’s. Only bad thing about it was a pinky sized chip on the front bumper because someone backed into me in a drive through. Besides that all stock with coil-overs wheels and exhaust. wish I kept it but it’d be impossible to daily with the summer weather in AZ and no A/C parts redly available.
I've always wanted one. When I was a kid living in a mountain town this was the first sports car I ever saw and been dreaming of owning one ever since. Now I can afford one, but between paying outrageous prices for a good clean example or buying a piece of junk, I'd rather skip.
lol the little intro song cracked me up - I had 2 95 models and a 97 model which I really liked. My list during high school would be pretty epic nowadays with a 91 300zx twin turbo, 92 Celtics got, 94 integra coupe manual, 95 prelude SI, 88 crx si
My mother has had 2 86 mr2s and 2 91 Mr2s which currently one is still around - I figured here in about 5 years it will be worth about 329,000 or something ridiculous
Btw a Miata was meant you are gay back in 2003 and to me I still hate it -
You guys might hate it but I honestly liked the 300zx t top better than anything- it was an awesome car I traded the celica AUTOMATIC and $1000 boot to a Mexican in a Food Lion parking lot. Not sure if it was a real title, legend has it to this day it wasn’t but that car got so much attention in a small town with the blow off valve noises right around f&f was the hit movie. Great great times in life
