Hi everyone, i have a few listings lined up for 3 Nissan 240sx’s. I’m looking for a little help trying to figure out which is the best deal.

#1: Cheapest
https://goo.gl/kGkCNK - Broken, not running, needs radiator and wiring harness. Unknown miles, seller hasn’t responded yet as to why it needs what it needs.
#2: Mid
https://goo.gl/6oUmPs - Unknown miles (Odo is broken)
#3: Most Expensive
https://goo.gl/JZeLDA - Not much to say

Not familiar with engines and drive trains for these cars, but the first one that is not complete seems to have the better engine? I’m not sure, can someone clear these up for me?

Thank you guys in advanced!

I'd steer clear of the first one. Its definitely going to be a project and a half.
Your other 2 will have the earlier single over head cam engine in them, unless they've been swapped out (which the ads didn't mention). They have a little less power than the dual overhead cam engines, aftermarket isn't quite as strong, but you can still find pretty much everything you'd be looking for. They are also a little on the pricey side.

Being in the market myself, I'd pass on all of these. There are great deals out there for those who can be patient and take the time to look around, especially for the older S13's. None of these are great deals.
