Sigged!

I arrived at this opinion after considering buying an SC300/400 this summer. Yes, it's more luxurious than a 240, but I'd still manage to turn it into another toy.

As I advance in age and acquire more responsibilities, I find it neccessary to own a car with more utility and comfort along with performance potential. Therefore, this summer, I'll be selling my s14 Zenki to get a 2nd gen GS400. But I hope to keep my s13 forever!
You and I both have the same opinions and love the same cars.

Anyways, I'm a 21 year old college student who has a terrible addiction to these stupid cars. Wish i didn't care and would spend all of my money on other things but i just LOVE IT SO MUCH!

I'm probably on the high side of the scale at 48. My first car was a 70 olds 88 with a 455 . The 240 doesn't have near the "umppph" that 455 had but I don't feel the urge to floor something that I had at 20. Lots of tickets sort of changed my behavior!! I love the 240 though.It's been easy to work on,fits into almost any parking space and it'sstill fast enough to keep me from getting run over in I-4 traffic through Orlando. Daughter has grown up and I don't need a backseat anymore. Great on gas and I love the body style. This just might be my last car..unless a nice 240 convertible comes available!

ill be 25 in a couple weeks.... ive owned three 240s, and started off in 2003 with my s14, then a few different cars here and there. i had to go back to a 240 again... got me a hatch, and then a s13 coupe after that. the coupe and s14 were both ka-t. i build all of my cars from a completely stock canvas. the coupe was a busted up piece of shlt, but turned out really sweet. i then moved onto a 98 bmw 540i, and man let me tell you!!! there is nothing like luxury!!! my next car will be a c5 z06, and a e36 with ls1 swap for my track car

At the same time, I don't think you should just go out and add another newer toy car to the stable, which is what the Corvette is... another toy. I arrived at this opinion after considering buying an SC300/400 this summer. Yes, it's more luxurious than a 240, but I'd still manage to turn it into another toy.
That's funny, you sigged my dumb comment. The plan's to have a comfortable and fun daily. That's why I want to get a Corvette. My wife already has a Sentra SE-R and a Murano, so I have my practical cars already, but they're just not much fun to dd in. I like luxury, but I think they're just too overpriced and I feel like you'd have to keep upgrading every few years with a luxury car.

No the cool factor for 240's was way before Tokyo Drift. It was back in the late 90's to early '00s when it was rare to have a modded 240 and even rarer if you had a SR20. For a short while there, 240's with SR20's were viewed up there with MKIV Supra's and FD RX7's. Atleast where I was at.

I only recently found 240's. On my second one and I love them. I don't race or drift just a dd. I have loved the import seen for sometime now and have always preferred the smaller cars. Ohh and by the way I'm turning 46 this year.

I'm 19. I've loved racing my whole life and recently(past 3 years or so) I've been into drifting. I love my 240sx and although its never legally seen road its been a blast to drive and work on!

Let's keep in mind that I'm a cheap-a** 240 lover. So that means I ain't paying more than $8.5k for a '98-'99 v8 model. As far as upgrading to a new Luxo-car... man, Imma rock dat ho until the wheels fall off! lol

I was young at one time if that counts for anything . I find it funny how a lot of young members think I am rich because of all of the money I have into my car....... I'm just old! I always tell them, "By the time you get to 35, you will most likely make more money than me, and modding an old-a** 240 will be nothing."

With that being said, I think it's time to put the S13 up for sale this summer and move onto something else

At that age, I thought I'd be dd my 240 forever . I don't plan on getting rid of my 240 either, but just like older muscle car guys. Eventually, you have to get a more practical daily driver and turn your toy car into just a weekend car . These cars are only getting older and with the abuse we put them through, we can't expect them to be dd forever either. I hate time.

i remember when it was unknown here loland when people first started doing it and info started seeping around to people, everyone was in awe. it was a huge deal to have a sr swapped 240sx, and later on if you passed one with a BOV everyone in the car would be all "holys***, turbo" haha...now its completely commonplace.

NOOOOOOO, you can't be getting rid of your 240?!! Well, whoever buys it, sure will get a quality 240. What are you thinking of next?
