All i want is 91+ Stock and untouched Mint 240sx. Is that 2 much to ask for U_U. Ive even knocked on some peoples door ( the people with the automatic 240sx that dd them) just to ask if they would simply sell me their car . :facepalm: But no luck so far. Every 240sx in my area is beat to hell, raped egr removed all kinds of problems. now im just trying to find a sc300 but little did i know their mostly 99% automatic. I literally stay on craigslist, Theirs nothing. Im thinking about just going cross town and finding more people with dd 240sx... any ideas? :gotme :tisk: :confused:

Lol I know but you should see the salt mines on the roads here in Chicago and the horror they've caused. At this point I too have started to browse other fun RWD cars like Miatas and older BMWs because they aren't associated with any drift tax.

Just keep looking. I myself am just trying to find myself a shell. Most out here aren't even worth looking at. Your best bet is to buy something already modified, but done right. You get more for you money that way. Stock, unabused ones are usually overpriced, or in your case, non-existent.

What does the rain have to do with it?

But if the car has been near a beach all of its life, you better believe there's rust somewhere.

When it rains water gets into places, especially when you drive, now do that for 18 years, seam sealer shrinks, water in the seams, rust starts. Combine that with normal high humidity, longer to dry out, mixed with a higher salt content in the air.... welcome to cancer grandma.

Not likely going to happen lol.

To the OP though. Keep looking they are hard to find but they are out there. I have 2 240s I have kept to drive and build (a 92 coupe and a 97se) both I bought were pretty clean 100% factory even down to airbox and exhaust. I have and am still parting out a 97 and a 95 that were both nice cars with title issues. I would have tried harder to get the 97 legal but my buddy and I bought it together and we both needed a bunch of parts off of it. The zenki had some body damage so it just wasn't worth it to try and fix it and flip it. My point is they are out there you just have to hunt. NONE of my cars were listed for sale anywhere before I bought them. Just friends and I knowing about them and asking if they would sell them. :werd:
