Con: Rust! Before you buy a 240SX look underneath at the frame rail. Then hit it with a hammer, if the hammer comes out the other side don't buy it!

Pro: I love my 240SX!!!!!! :woot:

Pro: The suspension aftermarket is redonk. The main swaps have great aftermarket. Tons of info on them.

Cons: The stock speaker sizes are wack. Rusty trunks common due to having wings. Annoying a** door chime, I wanna learn how to change that sound.

Someone already mentioned drift tax that s*** is a major con people ask crazy amounts for these cars.

Pro: Super easy to work on, and lots of information on them because of the popularity.

Con: Also because of the popularity, there is not much originality. Almost any thing you can think of to do to make the car unique has probably already been done(better).
And, because everyone wants to be a sweet drifterman a lot of them have been beat to hell. Find one as close to stock as possible IMO
