92 nisssan 240sx. 190000 miles. Salvage title due to minor accident but you know how insurance is. Has a blown head gasket but mechanic said that cylinder head is still good.

Is it true that once head gasket is replaced in a car the car won't be back to normal.

Nah, head gasket failure isn't an issue as long as the engine didn't overheat. That's the key.

How much and where? Could use a beater for the right price....

Oh, you really are close :p

That said, you should be able to sell it pretty easily. Hell, it's CL anyway so post it for $3k and see what happens.

Those things are actually pretty sought after, around here you could expect at least $1k+, not sure about Cali though.

In the same boat as the OP. I have a 1990 S13 that I'd like to sell too. 245k miles. 5spd. Runs fine. It's got a couple of slight dents and nothing major.
Dunno what to sell for. I'm in northern cal.

240sx cost more then what they should be with the drift tax ricers put on them.

Really these rust buckets should be $500-800 running cars. But i've seen them go for $1500-3000.

Pending on how much the buyer watches toyko drift you might be able to sell one near $1500. Mainly because i've seen frame rail rotted ones go for that much. KA motors are like $500 since most go for the SR motors and pull out good working KA ones.

Truth. I even had an aquaintance drop an RB26DETT into a 240, though at least it was a pretty clean '95 model. Talk about a sleeper, though I thought it was a tremendous waste of $$$. Took him almost a year to get it all done, there were a lot of costs and things he hadn't considered going into the project.

salvage title and blown head gasket so think around 25% of what they normally go for in your area.
