Buying my first 240sx, Is this one good?

[Canadianfreerider]

Hey,I am looking to buy my first 240sx project. I have stumbled across this one and it looks good. I am going to see it tomorrow, and will post more pics, but right now I am wondering what you guy's think? Is it a good buy? Thanks

The Carpets match the drapes....brown interior.

Ehh 900 bucks thats pretty much a steal.Id be alittle worried about Rust, i noticed under the hood, and on the body.

Wait till you can get a good look at it n make a decision then.Im guessing this is going to be a project car?

[cmoney]

I agree with Nali, 900 is a good price but rust might a big issue.

[sebazztard]

rust

whats your plans, a winter beater? i would get it for that reason but its life is dated, once the rust starts spreading its over.

I am looking for a project car. Going to see it today, will update with pics.

[sebazztard]

i would pass if it is for a project. at least get a rust free shell. as for a parts car, the only thing worth any money on that car is the 5 speed stuff, and 900 is twice the value.

posting without reading... but

900 is good. honestly it wont matter, because to propery build an s13 you have to strip it down and rebuild it.

so if you're ready for that... this shouldn't be an issue.

I say get it. Everyone under estamates the brown interior but, a few cans of black interior paint from andvanced and you have A nice black interior with an uncracked dash. WIN.

There's a section for this

900 bucks US is a good deal. CAN that is even a better deal.

^ gabby is right..

[Canadianfreerider]

Did not get to see it today, hopefully seeing it tomorrow at 2 pm.

red top ka24 ooooooorust seems to be the only problem drive it see how it feelsthe dash is a + and the price is good if its running

[el OCHO]

buy it, here in canada we get raped for s chassis. Thats a good deal, except that s*** brown interior.

[nifares240]

that's a lot of rust.

[Amtk240]

It's only $900 so you already have a good deal on a car but be prepared to sink some extra money into it. It just seems to happen to owners of 240sx's especially if the car is not our liking the day we make the purchase.

There is some good advice already posted and thanks for adding photos to your post!

Yeah by the rocker alone I can probably tell you the frame rail is rusted through. I was pass.

[Canadianfreerider]

I saw it today. I could not get any pics because it was raining, and I did not want to ruin my d40. The body has lots of rust, and the rear of the fram rails are almost completely rotted. The engine and trans are in mint shape however. i have decided that it is better to get a good shell with crap engine, then a crap body and good engine.

[240tunerguy]

definitely a better choice. clean shell is much better to start a project with

[sebazztard]

good call dude

walking away from these cars is a hard thing to do, but the right one will come along.
