Looking to sell quick, 1996 SE 5MT modded -- Western NY/CT maybe

Basically, with my current project 240sx, and my Maxima, my parents won't let me get a third car even if I plan to sell the Maxima as soon as I can. Therefore, I need to sell my car very very quick since I've come across a great deal on another car near me.

1996 Deep Evergreen SE 5MT
163xxx miles, 75% highway since I bought it 2.5 years ago
Tan leather interior
Kenwood mp3/cd headunit
Warpspeed y-pipe (alumized, but good condition the last time I saw it)
Custom madrel bent 2.5" catback with 5th gen muffler
K&N Panel filter, hacked air box
5th Gen clutch (3rd maxima on the .org to have it installed, right after jsutter and vlasic)
KYB AGX shocks
Canuck Motorsports Springs (~2" f / 1.5" r lowered)
Toyo Proxes TPT tires ($600 or so mounted, very nice tires for all-season)
SRE short throw shifter
Diamond cut clear corners
Old style Red/clear taillights
Slottled/x-drilled rotors
Raybestos Quiet-stop brake pads
FSTB -- ebay
20% Lumar Tint on all windows/banner on windshild
9007 Sylvania Xtravisions
Mobil 1 Synthetic oil
Redline MT-90
Ebay grounding kit (I know, it's so sweet)

The GOOD: (besides the mods)
Car has never seen anything under 91 octane fuel
Transmission was replaced when I first bought the car with an apparent 1998 5MT with 40k miles, now at 70k or so. (dealer did this, have no receipts)
Car runs strong, can do the 1/4 in 14.6 at 94 mph, which is pretty competitive for USIM 4G's.


The BAD:
Paint -- few deeper scratches. Paint is bubbling under the spoiler at one point.
Carfax is clean, however, the car has been in an accident (not under my ownership).
Exhaust is banging a bit due to the clamp I have on it. Every so often I need to readjust to make it stop, was planning on just having the pipes welded up clean to clear the issue.
CEL for Vehicle Speed sensor -- Replaced the harness and actual VSS, but it is still there. Speedo/tach/odometer work fine, cruise can be intermittent at times.
Transmission can be notchy, like all other 4G's.

Note...I tend to remember the bad things more than the good things, so just because the BAD list is longer than the GOOD, doesn't mean the car is bad.

I am an avid detailer, and was hoping to detail the car before I sold it this summer, but a great deal just fell in my lap. I was also hoping to fix a few of the other problems prior to selling as well. I will post a few pictures to give you an idea.

I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance.

I need to sell quick, pleae make reasonable offers based on this: http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/Pric...izConditions=0

I more than believe that it is worth $3800 because of the modifications. However, I am willing to negotiate. I bought the car for 4800, and have put in a bunch more money under my own will -- nothing drastic has gone wrong (except for the transmission that was replaced under warrantee).

Please feel free to pm or email me with details, I'd love to sell this quick enough to buy this other car.

Pics to come after I upload.

From a full detail over the summer.







The car is not perfect, and doesn't look as clean as these pictures as of now (winter weather), but it shows what you're able to do.

Nooooo don't do it Lou! If I wasn't saving my cash for a project car myself, I would pick this up in a second.

I've seen this car in person quite a few times, Lou kept it in really great shape. Whoever ends up with it won't be disappointed.

Good luck with the sale man! What's next?

edit- Wanna trade+my cash for your seats?

I might just want to do that...give me a little while to think it over about the seats.

Wow, I couldn't have asked for a better post, thanks a lot for posting bro. I have to do it though...I found the perfect car to get me through the rest of school, 1990 240sx coupe, which I will take that engine from, and sell the shell to my buddy who has helped me so far with my white 240sx. He has a built engine laying around that's dying to be used.

I think no matter what, I'm going to be picking up this 240sx, even if I don't sell my car so soon. We NEED to meet up man, we've put it off way too long. I always thought I'd still have my Maxima when we had our Western NY maxima meet, but if things turn out really well I guess it won't happen. Nonetheless, we need to get together.

Since you are new here you may not know, however it should be common sense that you do not post what you have for sale in someone else's for sale thread... You should know better than that especially you being in your late twenties....

Thanks bro...I didn't have time to respond earlier.

Car is no longer for sale as of yet, but I will be selling in June definately, unless another deal comes up.

Thanks for the interest so far.
