hey everyone! ive been looking at this site for the longest time and never joined but i finally did tonight! I've been looking for a 240sx for the longest time. at first i wanted the 1989 to 1994 one then i was ridiculed by my brother for months because according to him i looks like a Saturn lol. so i kinda fell for the 1995's and up but i never had the chance to get one until now! My stupid POS Dodge Stratus is slowly dying with its hand full of electrical problems and its pretty much a lost cause (i will never drive a dodge again, unless its a 1969 r/t). i was on craigslist and i found a 1995 240sx auto(i know) with 190K miles on it(i know) for $800. the guy says that it runs great and there's zero rust which is awesome. the only real problem is that it has a leak in the gas tank. questions are:
Repair the tank or get a new one? if so how much?
is it hard maintaining a 240 with that amount of miles on it? will it be ok if i keep up with increased matinance?
and should i get it?
thanks in advance for advice!
New here and saying whats up, and some ?'s

Welcome to NICO. Lots of good info and people here although you do get some guys who goes on a flaming rampage sometimes, but still no where near other forums. Is the S14 you talking about located in CA? My cousin just picked up a white S14 auto as you described for $800. Anyways you can't go wrong with a S14 or S13. It all comes down to which styling you like better. I get plenty of compliments in my S13 and most of the time it's from people who don't drive 240's. Then again I used to also get compliments in my S14's also.

Re: (S14toRPS13)
Welcome to nico....And i doubt it would be hard..My 1991 240 only has 140k miles on it and its running pretty good. i say try and get the guy a little lower on the price...Have you seen any pictures of it? Good luck though there are alot of people that help out on here.
Re: (240sxJoe91)
yea i think im gonna offer him 700 for it and see what he does. the way i see it, 700 or 800 its gonna be a steal. im just kinda worried about the gas tank. and eventually i wanna do a 5 speed swap.
