There's a little bit of ice sitting on it (had a little bit of snow today). I plan on fully detailing soon, I'll post more pics when I do.

Lol the minivan, we're still trying to sell that, still has a "proud parent of a (my middle school) honor student". I could have ended up driving that pos!!

As far as mods, I won't be able to do anything too big for a while as I'm only 16. It would be cool to get a short shift kit and some lighter wheels though. As for long term, I'd eventually like to swap the engine and upgrade the brakes and do some serious suspension modifications (coilovers etc.).

I hope you dont wreck it like alot of other dumas$ young 240 owners out there./troll

seroiusly, please take care of this one. Its your first car, and I am a firm believer that your first car should be something really shiddy so you can learn and bang it up so you learn valuable lessons (like not drifting on on-ramps, jordan) and dont screw up anything nice. I apologize if i came off a little critical, i just worry about such a great car in such new hands and worry a bit for you both...

yea just baby her... well when I first got my car back when I was 16... I didnt drive it much.. just my mom's camry. And please for your sake, dont let peer pressure do stupid things. That sort of things happen when you are with alot of other guys in your car. My mom strictly forbidded me from driving the 240 with other people.. I look back and thank her very much.

BTW, very nice and clean find. congratulations

Sounds like here, actually. I paid $9800 for mine, but if someone out in CA actually wanted to pay me $16,000 for it, I think I'd let 'em have it for that

Congrats So you ended up buying that one off autotrader...I thought it looked familiar. I take it you test drove it and liked it that much lol. I was wondering if you bought it. You have a Very nice car, Take good care of her! I'm very jealous right now.

A friend of mine just found a kouki for sale near me, I'm going to call later today to find out if they still have it...I hope so. I've been looking for one around me for a while. Its a red 98 SE, manual, sunroof, 130K miles, only $6K.

That's a good price! I'd be all over that for $6k, so long as everything looked good.

Red Kouki + Gold Wheels = t3h ha\/\/t.
