Allright guys, since I've been like 10 I've always wanted a nice 240sx s13 fastback... I just love them. I'm 17 and I find them damn sexy.

Well I had a Grand AM which I wrecked, and now I'm in a Malibu (BLARG) and I've been looking around for a 240, I really want a '93 I think.

Anywho, I've been talking to this guy on autotrader who's been a hard *** about his 240, 4,500 and doesn't want to budge at all. So I look every 2 weeks or so to see whats new. Finally he bumped it down to 3,500. I was wondering if I could get opinions on this 240, it can be seen here

The only problem I really have, is it's not a fastback. And the fastback is just damn sexy. So, this car even has HUD which I was looking for, but do you think I should keep waiting for a fastback or take this? I'm probably going to leave it stock, save up for a SR20DET swap, and then do that with a friend (he works at a body shop that can do it for me for nearly nothing)

thanks.

unless that car is absolutely immaculate, i'm not sure i'd pay 3500 for it.

if you really want a fastback, then pass on this one.

If you have another car to use while you look i would hold out untill you find something that is exactly what you want. 3500 sounds a bit high for a car with 160+ miles. If you are going to do a swap why not get a fastback with a blown engine and swap it right away, much cheaper that way.

Allright thanks a lot guys, the carfax came back and it wasn't exactly, good. I got a friend who works at a bank and he gets free carfaxes, so at least I didn't loose 20 bucks.

I paid $2100 for my 91 Coupe and I should have paid less. If a hatch is what you want, then wait for one. I would only buy a coupe, and I went and looked at several nicer hatches than my coupe, but my coupe was the first one I found for sale in my state, and within the week of him listing it, I had it in my driveway. If you spend the $ for something you don't want, you'll never be happy.
