Decision on Purchase
Decision on Purchase
Well, I've pretty much made up my mind on purchasing a 240SX and have found two canidates which I'm curious on. First of, a 1995 240SX SE at a dealer. Grey, selling for $6,900 and has exactly 93,695 miles on it. The only real reason for considering a purchase with these many miles is because the car was very well kept. I mean VERY well kept. The car looks like it could be brand new and a swap is very real possibility in alittle more than a year. Secondly, I've found a 1996 240SX put up by a private seller. It's red, fairly well kept, selling for 8 grand and has exactly 64,000 miles on it. Included in the purchase would be an Injen Intake, APEXi N1 Dual Exhaust, Eibach lowering springs, kyb agx adjustable shocks, PDM polyeurethane T/C rod bushings, brand new 17" wheels, Alpine Head Unit, Razo Shift knob and pedals, and reverse Indiglo gauges. He is also willing to sell it stock for $6,800. Now despite all the mods. which are a very good selling point, I'm not big on red, and, it is a private seller who I dont personally know. Anyway, anyone who can alert me to how well a high-milage 240SX runs, or, if either of the deals is a really good deal, please post. Any and all help is appreciated.

first off i would trust a nissan enthusiast over a used car dealer any day. im sorry but since i work at a lexus dealership i know all the shady **** that goes on with used cars. if the mods are all your style than i would definately buy the car upgraded. the suspension/wheels is well worth $1200, plus all of the other stuff. if you planned on upgrading it anyways, why not buy it already done and save money?
Actually, due to some recent developments, I think I will be purchasing the red 240SX. Seems that my cousin knows the guy, and they are good friends. I didnt even know it, but I talked to the guys cousin not too long ago. So now I know that the car has been well taken care of, not to mention they are opening up an online shop selling everything from intakes to JDM motors. And hey, when they get up an running, maybe I can get a discount on one of the redtop SR20's they are offering.
