Damn ive tried to compare different 240's(95-98) prices and all that but the funny thing is, theyre very rare. is this a good thing or a bad? i drive an accord and sort of fell in love with nissan cars. I particularly like the 240 and plan on purchasing one in the next few months but i can hardly find any!!! is it worth it or should i save a few more bucks and go for the 300zx? thanks i would really like your advice seeming that im new to the nissan scene

dude you're asking if it's worth waiting for a 240 on the NISSAN 240SX BOARDS? No, I dont think your answer will be biased at all.

I think you should give up the search and just pick up a VW Thing.

** seriously though - the 240 is worth the wait.

im in the exact same boat buddy. the s14a style gets my blood flowing. Decent power, awesome interior and RWD is everything i could ask for.

so difficult to locate a good one though.

A 240 being rare, A big +++, they are not made to be as disposable as hondas and such, them being rare machine will make the owners appreciate them even more.

i think that if i had actually known anything about 240's when i found mine and bought it, i woulda waited to find one w/ less miles, newer, 5spd, etc. but, the only thing i new about them when i bought my car was that it looked awesome. i got real lucky with my car though. i love her.

I have only seen two s14a in vancouver twice...ever! I remember not knowing what it was but it caught my eye. S13 isnt too rare from around here but the s14 still is.

My mom is going to get a 350z convertible, and she is the person who would get an auto. If she gets an auto, I'll be swapping in a new transmission overnight ;)

yeah well im looking into purchasing it in the next few months. i really enjoy the fact that it is rear wheel drive and has enugh horsies under the hood to do some real damage. my friends all have nice cars because of their parents. i dont have that financial back and being in college i cant afford a new car. so i guess the 240sx is the best thing i have looking forward to buying my next car... if i could find one anyway!

Nah Flip bro,

Just stick with the Accord. You can get some supah fast FWD powah goin with those things. I've seen whole pages in some of the tuning magazines, with shops dedicated to Accord only tuning.

Just another,

Please, reconsider reshaping your dreams!! That car has gone beyond nice, and dipped into the rice department. That body kit is way over the top, and the headlights are.... yeah.

phax,i want a car thats not played out... if im gonna put some real money into a car i want it to be something original. ive seen too many hondas and now its like im immune to enjoying the way they look now. 240's are real nice and very unique. most people wont even know what it is when you drive up next to them. it, in my opinion, is the best car so far in my price range. all you guys have it and are extremely happy.

i like the car alot, but yea a 5spd would be nice, and not only that, but he says its covered by a nissan 6yr 160k km warranty, wel i hate to burst his bubble, but that warranty went out the poop shoot as soon as that intake or anyother mod went on, but he claims that they dont void his warranty, waht a crock!!!, i PROMISE u the intake voided his train warranty

not really, compared to most cars the 240s (95-98) arent seen fixed up as much. i hardly see that car where i could find 30 civics just driving down the block. this car is nice!! damn all my friends have a competition going on whos got the nicest car. i was waiting for the 240 so i could fix it up and try to get the lead...but my friend just got a 350z!! a guy who has never worked a day in his life gets a Z and me who works crazy cant afford crap. life aint fair
