Re: Lookin for new car (jon_b)
First off, welcome to NICO.
As a general rule, I avoid making major purchases on eBay, including, but not limited to, entire cars. If what you want is an SR-powered 240sx, you could put one together yourself for much cheaper than $9500... I think what you'd be paying most for is the RHD conversion, and as far as that goes, unless it was done professionally, I don't know how safe that is. The firewall is an integral part of the chassis stucture, and if an amateur had chopped it up and stitch welded a RHD firewall in its place, I'd be seriously concerned with safety. This is not to say it hasn't been done right... it HAS. In fact, I think a couple members on these boards have converted to RHD.
So if you can do without the RHD issue, you can find a clean-titled 240sx yourself with a dead or missing motor and swap in an SR for thousands less than what this seller is asking. Then again, if you aren't into doing the work and are just interested in the final product, it doesn't seem that bad of a deal.
Hope this helps!

I bought my car off ebay, but it was stock and it is nice. Check it out! I'm not sure about buying that one though, I like stock, then doing the work yourself and you know its safe then! My Car:
