I haven’t been around in a while, but man, it seems the love for the 240 is going south. I’m wondering if I should keep my 91 Coupe that’s been in the garage for much longer. You guys think the 240sx was a drifter fad, or do you think the remaining clean ones will be worth some money in 10 years ?

Clean ones are already worth money.

The answer to the thread title is no. they did not. i think It's more accurate that they thinned the herd. But to answer the above question, that answer depends on your definition of "some money". I think clean unmolested ones, especially manual trannied ones, have already begun to appreciate, thanks in part to drifters and young drivers destroying many of them. Problem is Nissan built too many of them, so they're not likely to suddenly explode in value faster (over the next 10 yrs) than the costs to keep/register/insure. At the end of the day, it remains a nice car to drive and enjoy, but not an ideal one if viewed solely as an investment.

Clean untouched 240's are already valuable. There was a clean af 91 hatch for like $8k. Only 90,000 miles. Seems a bit high, but if it's clean and unmolested, I think it's worth it.

I'd love to have one to play with. My sister in law had a little one with a heads up display. I'd love to have that one, but the engine gave troubles and they abandoned it with the mechanic before I was in a position to protest. :(
