95-98 240sx...where are they?

[jtfdzn]

Don't know if this is OT or not, but I can't find any within 150 miles of my house, which makes it a little hard to go check them out to see whats wrong and all that good stuff. I've been looking in the newspaper, Autotrader.com, and us.trader.com, and I've found 3 I'm interested in, but I just wish they were closer. I live in Ft. Wayne, IN....if anyone can help or point me in a new direction I'd really appreciate it...

Get someone on NICO to help check out a car you find. I'm sure someone will help you.

I ran into the same problem when i was looking for my 240. All i can say is go to all the dealerships(nissan, honda, ford, toyota, etc.) in your area and ask if they have any 240's. The salesman may have on at a different location or one they just got in as a trade in that isn't display. I left my phone # with every dealer i went to incase they got one in.

It didn't work for me, but you may get lucky. I just had to wait till i found mine on autotrader.com.

There's one in my driveway but good luck w/ your search, i had the same problem searching for months and then someone was selling their car 5 miles from my house.

I found a 95 SE with 85k miles, leather, cd, pwr sunroof, everything basically. They want 5k...They didn't specify what transmission it has, but I will take either for now, because I'm sure even an auto would still be a somewhat fun ride. How hard is it to swap a 5spd in?

The s14's are pretty rare, and it takes a lot of luck to find yourself one. Lucky for me, I found one, and now lucky for my friend who is probably gonna buy it off of me now : ).

[jtfdzn]

I'd love to have a 5-speed, but I'm not finding any around here. Are autos still capable of being quick and fun to drive?

[Former_240_s14]

depends on who you ask I think....autos can be quick, but in imho never FUN. but if you find a auto, auto-manual swaps aren't that uncommon in our kneck of the woods. If you find a clean nice auto, buy it and save for a manual swap. hope this helps.

hey jtfdzn, i live in IN too, but no matter where you live, its going to be hard to find one, they are rare cars. but i got really lucky here. about a yr and half ago there was a 96240se in a lot in my city. at the time i was just looking for a fast import, not a honda. but i knew these were hard to find and everything. it had been there for months. it had 73K miles and was in perfect shape, not a thing wrong w it. at first they wanted 10K for it which i couldnt afford. after waiting around a little i went back and they said they would sell it for like 8200. well i was thinking about it but still didnt want to pay quit that much. i went back bout a month later and a salesman said he would sell it for 7500, so i bout it. now im so glad i did because i havent seen another one since. i cant beleive nowbody bout it while it was there. they said they had it sold a couple times but the people had bad credit or something, that and it was at a mercury dealership in the used lot where you couldnt see very good. but good luck finding one.
