Once again, i find myself cruising craigslist looking for 240's, among other cars. I always do this, never really looking to buy anything, but its fun to window shop. Then i came across one today that caught my attention.

So i shoot off an email, wanting to check out the car more. the ad was short and to the point. I had a feeling that it might not be owned by a)someone my age b) a drift fanboy or c) some ricer that thinks that its worth triple the price.

I get a call from a nice older lady and get her addy and head out. I got there and the car looked good, much better than other s13's i had seen. the interior is mint, and there are only minor problems on the exterior. it has some high miles (200k+), but with a documented rebuild from a local shop about 3 years ago.

So after i check it out and decide that its good to go, we talk price. he was asking 1800, and was worth it, and offered 16 cash and he took it. Now before i get too excited about it, the car is mainly for my girlfriend because i wanted a fun car for her to drive, as i have my 5.0 powered rx7. and she is very excited about it.

Enough talking, PICS!

Yeah you guys will probably get pulled back in unless you get yourself another FR car fast. It's a good thing tho.

It's original paint look @ the pin stripe no one would have that re-applied after a fresh paintjob lol. Also we both noticed his passenger fender doesn't have a sidemarker....not hole for it either....anyone else encounter this in there 240 searching?

Now that I look closer, its a repaint. There is paint over the black trim tape, the 240sx badge is missing from the back, the already mentioned aftermarket fender, etc. Theres nothing wrong with that, I'd consider it a bonus for the deal he got.
