Is the droptop 240 worth gettin

[Hijacker]

Holy ressurected threads, batman!

It's funny to read through these old threads where everyone is like "'verts rock!"

I wouldnt pimp the rims in the first pic.

NOT PIMP THE FIRST PICTURES' RIMS? omg you must be joking. mesh rims w/ deep dish are the way to go. oldschool jap style and drift style. hell, i'd trade my stock chromies to get my hand on some SSR rims!

ah.. people are seeing the light. I know I did.. if mine only drove.. soon enough!

The question is im being offered a 92 convertible w/136K for 2800. The asking price was originally 4000. What do you guys think? i could try and haggle more to see if he could drop it down more.

only $2800!!!!

you can't steal a vert for less the $4k around here. go for it.

i remember reading that the 'verts were a lot worse in the performance category than the the hard tops. stock handling was also supposedly for ****. any truth to this?

somewhat true.

if your looking for something to drag, drift, or autocross, then the coupe or fastback are much better platforms. for spirited/daily driving, the convertible isn't as bad as people make it seem. the only issue i have is the chasis flex. on smooth roads, the convertible rides as smooth as silk, and imo, handles just as well as my old fastback. on rough roads, then the body rattles, shakes, creaks, moans, groan, twists, turns...(insert any other descriptions terms you can come up with).

if you just want a fun daily driver, then there's nothing wrong with a 240 vert.

I picked up a nice clean 240sx white convertible last month for $3000..it has 113,500 miles on it,2 yr old perfect top. you just have to keep looking...Can't stay, off to the beach!

I still dont get why they call it "strawberry" ... but yah... i would look great as in the previous pics.

one of the first companies to make parts for the conversion.

i think

The Japanese word for "15" sounds a lot like the word for "strawberry". Hence S15 face = Strawberry face.
