200sx buying help

[blindsnyper]

i have a chance to buy a 1984 200sx for $200. 4cylinder, auto, about 190,000 miles
the guy said the engine is tampermental, but i can eventually deal with that.

so.
is there anything about these cars/engines that i should know??? would this be a good or bad purchase???

i told the guy i would give him a definate answer tomorrow.

thanks

give Datte a little while, he'll fill you in on this.

for the most part, they're solid cars though.

[blindsnyper]

i decided not to get then he asked if i would give him $100 for it, i think i might get it.

[Mr1der]

if it runs and isn't rusted to s***, I'd say it's worth getting.

[Dattebayo]

Check the base of the strut towers for rust, then get under it and thoroughly check for rust on the floor pan and corners of the wheel wells.

As far as the engine being "tempermental", maybe it would behoove you to ask him to be more specific? Either way, you can't beat $100 for an S12. I say do it (just because it has the Solid Rear Axle).

[Mr1der]

it might have the solid rear.

I wanna say they never made hatches with a solid axle.

I wanna say they never made hatches with a solid axle.

LOL, we go about this again. It's based on the manufacture date, not the body style. All 1984's had it.

[Mr1der]

shut it! I haven't messed with them in years....

[Dattebayo]

They stopped sometime in 1985, tho...

[Mr1der]

mine sure as s*** didn't.

[Dattebayo]

Maybe you had a 1986?

[blindsnyper]

i ended up buying it if nothing else i can part it out

[Dattebayo]

I can use a few parts if you're gonna part it out... Mostly interior stuff.

[blindsnyper]

i also might gut it and autox it, either way i will let you know

[Dattebayo]

YOU ROCK
