yup i sure want a car with tons of miles vs a car with less than 10,000 miles or even 5 miles. :rolleyes

just looked at autotrader to make sure i was right, for $28,000 u get a supra with 52,000 miles and its an auto! :eek: damn i love it a moded supra going for $70,000 with 100,000+ miles.**** that, seriously for 70 grand i can build a civic that will burn or keep up with that supra, im talking about cheesefrogs dx.

the 240 will be with me for awhile (finish payments october '05)i still love the looks, im just worried at how much money i will put in and the performance i will be getting if its worth it, or to just buy a car with a warranty, with factory backed performance parts :ylsuper

you oughta test drive cars before you buy them. . if you bought a 240sx to go fast in a straight line, you needed to be looking elsewhere...

or you need to do some shopping :)

i got it for a good price from a dealership my uncle works at...it has low miles 68,000 for a 97, everything is mint and i got the car for $8000not a bad deal, i guess i will never be satisfied, i can even imagine myself *****ing after i get the cobra, about the wack *** interior it has (like all stangs).but in the end the '97-'98 240sx is a rare beauty, specially the color i have

I don't understand why you come here and say how slow 240sx's are stock. Common sense shows that posting something like this about a 240 on NICO will come up with replies like you are getting. You signed up last month, and now I don't know if you are just trying to get us to convince you otherwise or just to say how much you are bored of an auto 240sx. Either way, why don't you sell that S14 to me, say $1500? That will cover a few months payment on your Cobra that you are obviously set on getting

I personally want a new Mach 1 instead of the Cobra, I think it lacks the IRS though, but supercharger tweaking is annoying and more costly then turbo...

Dude, You will kick yourself for getting rid of that car. I would definately drive the other cars first. I totally agree with the 5-spd swap. 240's are not only a little faster with the 5, but WAY more fun to drive.

I love white. . I wanted to find a white one . . but I wound up with a green 97. . it's alright, but white is THE color to have on it, IMO :D (or black) . . . .

or starfire. . the rarest color out there

Go white kouki's! This is why I spent the extra time looking for a 5spd. As of now, I am fine with the power output. I hardly take my car over 4k rpms, I just cruise around town. Maybe when I get spanked one day I'll start to mod more.
