well i just signed here and all and just wanted to welcome myself to you guys. well i found a 89' 240sx in my town for $1795 with its usual wears and tears with 179xxx miles on the car. it was at a dealer and i didn't get to check out the engine but on the outside it lookes pretty decent for its age. there were only a few rust spots on it but not many, so i was wondering if a 240sx that old with that many miles on it would be a good by or should i just look into another one. thanks for any comments.

i would keep looking IMO rust is the devil and if at all possible i avoid it. plus an s13 with that many miles and rocker panel rust seems a bit high. :cool:

Hey akira, what's up? Welcome to NICO! You can do a LOT better than that. Bubba1 (a member here) has one for sale that is SUPER clean with comparable mileage. He is the original owner and the car has been garaged most, if not all, of it's life.

He's got a thread in the Buy/Sell/Trade section and I think it's still for sale.

Even if he's sold his car, you can find a better one in our B/S/T here than a rusty Wisconsin car.

I got my '90 with 122k miles for 1500. the price on that car is too high. I'd look for cars for sale by owners, preferably old ladies.

Ditto! I got my 91 for $1400, down from $2200. Before that I looked at one, a '92 I think, owned by a Chinese kid (from China). We went for a ride and LOL he shifted at 2800 every gear, we were in 5th at 35 mph, haha. I knew that engine had no wear and tear on it. Good luck and don't rush it
