pics. price.

sounds gr8, and only 66k miles?

reliable? given the engine's in fair condition, it'll last. (hell, i'd put my 240 against a Honda anyday as far as reliability) but that's just me..

more shtuff!

thats too damn much for that car, I know its got a bunch of crap but still its mostly all cosmetic and stuff you really dont need. But hey, if you got the cash to throw at it, have fun.

I wonder exactly where in Chicago its at.

I've seen 240's with RB25s and 2JZs for that price... but hey man if u really want it go for it, im a poor man's eyes though: not worth it, although it is REALLY clean.

That sounds like a lot for a stock ka. The engine just seems to have been dressed up a little bit. I agree with DGK, i've also seen 240's swapped with 2j's and rb's for that much.

offer him $3500 but tell him your willing to work on it and work from there. He's not going to get $7k for it unless its some kid who doesnt have to pay for it and mommy & daddy are forking over whatever he wants. Super clean car but no more than $4-$4.5k

Just remember you get what you pay for. If this car is really as mint as it sounds like, I would say it's worth 5-6k but thats my opinion. And for the love of god if you do buy it PLEASE take good care of it, nice 240's are one in a million.
