mint cond,s13 200sx on hsd coilies,T&T! halifax, £1650ono

[bradrift]

hey guys,

up for grabs (due to buying first house) is my mint condition 200sx s13

general specs

1990 (h reg) non sunroof
ca18det 1.8 turbo engine at 97k (miles)
uk model
tax and test until july 2014
auto box is smooth and overdrive works spot on
cruise control
a/c model
pignose front,
original interior and exterior
bodywork,interior,mechanics etc are all spot on,
the condition for the year (1990) is out of this world!

mods...
hsd monopro coilovers with adjustable topmounts
toyo sports full stainless exhaust
interior boost gauge

 
has recently had all belts done at great cost, maintained regardless of cost.
this truely is a superb example of a s13!

bad points (all cars have them, remember this is a retro ride )
1. needs new front brakes (£70)
2. needs tracking doing, since coilovers fitted it pulls slightly to the left, nothing major and can be driven easily
3. few odd car park dings, by no means is it scratched or battered or dented tho! (NO RUST!)
4. has had 2 patches previously welded, they are good n strong (just under sill edge) cannot be seen unless looking under car.

Why do people put 'mint' then a list of faults. If there are faults, it's not mint, simple.
This, 'it's mint for its year' is cobblers , there is one & only one definition of mint & it's mint. If there are marks or faults it's not mint.
End of rant, sorry but it, really annoys me.

Why do people feel the need to spout wibblepoo on people's for sale threads? Whilst I agree on your point, there's no need to post your opinion on here.

Why make such a song and dance about it jules?
If you ever take notice of anything described as "mint" from an ad, then you're a fool. The only way to truly ascertain the condition of a vehicle is to go and see it.
Just out of interest, are you interested in buying it? Thought not.
Nice car, and good luck with the sale.

[seanr68]

And that's exactly what we're not interested in your opinion!
Fact is, he has given a detailed description AND included the minor faults. It's not like he's trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
So, with that in mind, you really ARE whining about nothing.
Enjoy your evening. ;-)

Definition of the word mint 2   (mnt)n. A member of the mint family. Any of various plants of the genus Mentha, characteristically having aromatic foliage and nearly regular flowers. Some plants are cultivated for their aromatic oil and used for flavoring. 3. Any of various similar or related plants, such as the stone mint. A candy flavored with mint.

yes jules your right its technically not mint as the above description would prove.
But seriously come on, use that brain of yours and think, he's described it as mint meaning it's in good condition, doesn't take a genius to understand what he meant.

Looks like a very nice example and glwts

My short & sweet 2p worth :
1. I've had 5 of theses (this shape & facelift versions) - proper loony RWD toys. I don't know this seller or this car but would recommend any well-fettled S13 as very good value smiles-per-mile motoring. PM if you want any questions answered
2. It's not too difficult to convert a slush-box to manual if you have the box with clutch pedal & hydraulics
3. Have a look at the very active owners forum if you want to know more www.sxoc.com/vbb/forum.php
4. I have a set of unused S13 pineapples ( think polybush rear suspension subframe bushes ) - PM me if anyone can use them.

ps. Has everyone seen RR rule 2 ? "If you haven't got something constructive to say, say nothing"

And people posting in peoples for sale thread just for the crack irritate me.

Let the genuinely interested decide whether the car seems legit or not and wind your neck in

It just so happens i am interested, however i have a car to sell first, but i will be keeping my eye on this

I suggest a mod clears up the curse word from the poor chaps thread.

Original poster! This is not a mint. It is a car. It is not white, and doesn't have a hole in the middle.

[samwell]

Still available?

Swap for a v8 soarer? ?
