Turbojovi Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a 510 2 door kind of broke need money to move its in the paint shop getting worked on. Im $8000 into it all chrome re done, bride seats, pan sports coilover suspension, it has a non running vg30 r200 lsd you guys think i would lose or break even or make money? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 My money is on lose as well. Pictures would always help, but unfortunately you can almost never sell a car for the total value of all parts. Especially when your car is non running and sounds like its in pieces if you're taking it to paint. No one want to spend $8000 on a pile of parts. Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 lose buddy sorry, and i think you should keep it! its not that much to get a small storage shed and put everything in it and wait till you get back on your feet, although do not put it in a storage, unless you guaranteed can pay every month... keep it, most of the time you cant make money on something that you custom built with 510's Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 9 times out of ten no matter what car you build you wont get your money out of it thats part of why i dont understand people build a car then sell it there is no money to be made in it especially in datsuns Quote Link to comment
Turbojovi Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah ill keep it just missing the front windshield and the seals, motor and gas tank Quote Link to comment
darrel Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 99.9% of cars are not an investment. You would have to be very lucky if you found one. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Why not just buy a used L motor and start to drive it with that installed instead. You could probably sell the extra motor to pay for remaining needed parts. Sounds like its going to be nice. Lets see some pics. Quote Link to comment
Turbojovi Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 This is how i bought it for $5000 Quote Link to comment
Turbojovi Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Sold some parts off it that i didn't need made 590$ Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Gravel has a great point... pick up a cheap L motor and get it running. Then you can fix or sell the VG to help with funds or whatever... Car looks great, but you wont make $8000 for it. You wouldnt even make that with the VG running. Quote Link to comment
Turbojovi Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Well right now its getting a new paint job..... It will be another month or so till its done..... I seen some datsun 510 go for 17-20gs no? I dont plan on leaving the vg30 in there maybe go with a sr20 or something like that Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Those people asking up to $20k for there 510 sell them quick or sell them for the asking price? $20k is a lot of money especially for a Datsun just saying. Quote Link to comment
