Testing Waters: RHD 1990 Nissan Silvia

[LaborSilvia]

Yes this car is the REAL deal. Not a conversion. I'm thinking of selling, or trading, since I'm growing out of the car scene and concentrating on other interests.

Here's the deal on the car; It was imported in pieces and assembled here. The CA was replaced with a fresh SR (35,000mi). The chassis only has an original 111,000km (69,000mi). This thing is the absolute cleanest machine you have ever seen. It must have been in a garage somewhere for years. And ever since it has been in my care, it has been babied. I don't beat on my cars.

The car was re-painted black six months ago through a very reputable body shop. Absolutely no orange peel. Over 16 dents were removed and every single body panel was ensured perfectly smooth. Also, the Q's emblems, side mouldings, spoiler, and mud guards have all been shaved for a cleaner look.

Installed new within the past eight months:
-Silk Road Coilovers
-Greddy Intercooler
-Enjuku Hotpipe
-HKS BOV
-Custom Enjuku Intake w/ HKS Filter
-Odyssey Battery (very small) w/ Custom Aluminum Tiedown
-Powdercoated Wrinkle Black Valve Cover w/ New Gasket
-Nardi Steering Wheel
-NRG Quick Release
-New 205/50/15 Tires w/ Warranty

I've got paperwork on all of this totalling over $4,500 before you figure in the body work (about the same amount).

The car came with the Apex'i Exhaust, ROM Tune, and Greddy Downpipe, so I can't say how new they are. And of course it comes with the JDM goodies like power folding mirrors, silvia trunk emblem/lock, etc.

The downsides? Well, no radio. Big whoop. I've had so much fun driving the car, I've never felt the need to buy one. But also, like most swaps, the AC wasn't done. So, you've got heat and fan but it won't blow cold. And that's about it. It has been the most reliable turbo car out of the three that I've owned. Absolutely no problems.

I'll let the pictures do the talking now:

Ok, on to business. Like I said, I'm just testing the waters and in no rush to sell. This car is incredible and is worth holding on to. Think about the money invested (the paint and body work alone are worth over $4k) and also consider the fact that everything is original. We all know how much JDM sunvisors go for on ebay, now imagine the whole car.

I'm asking $15,500 for the car. I'm open to offers, this is just a starting point. But keep everything I've written in mind.

If it sounds like a lot, you don't have to buy it - there are plenty of 240's with silvia front ends for much cheaper. You might even find another true silvia if you are lucky, but I can guaruntee it won't look like it just rolled off the showroom floor like this one does. I will only consider trades for newer Audi (esp. the TT), BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, etc. If it isn't a CLEAN luxury car, don't bother.

Thanks for looking everyone. If it takes a couple years to sell, I won't mind. I'll be having fun driving it in the meantime.

Forgot to mention that the car is located in Orlando, FL.

Sorry, but 15.5K for that? Good Luck.

Read the post before you speak. I am open to offers, we need to start somewhere. If I don't hear anything I like, I keep the car. It isn't hard.

You are paying for the condition and mileage. If you don't want 69k miles and can stand dings and rips, then buy something cheaper.

This is not an appropriate comment in this forum. They buyer can ask and/or sell for any price he/she feels is fair. If you disagree then go look at another post.

The car looks beautiful btw!!! Very clean, and looks to be in great condition!!

Good Luck selling her!

[LaborSilvia]

Thanks. Like I said, its an "asking" price for a reason. Anyone, feel free to tell me what you can offer and/or what you think is fair and we'll work from there.

I realize it sounds like a lot, and it probably is. But the car as you can see is pristine. Let's hear some offers.

[LaborSilvia]

TTT.. all offers considered.

[cardriver]

ill tell you this. that is a damn clean car. although 15k is asking alot for the car. if your looking for what you spent your better off keeping the car. unless you can find some kid thats has parents that just buy whatever he/she wants you might get lucky...best of luck to you.

PS.
what would you take just for that steerting wheel? ;-)
haha

[LaborSilvia]

15K was the negotiating price. Now I'm moving sooner than expected. So it is on to the firm, need to sell price of $11,200.

Interested.

It is registered with a clean FL title?
