Wow, that looks like A LOT of quarter damage. I was thinking a dent, but that thing got sideswiped by a semi or something. Make sure there is no frame damage to it first. Find out what needs to be replaced, if anything. If youre going to do overfenders make sure you rustproof that side. You might not know everything thats wrong with it until you get it.

If you dont really need another car then I would say keep the money for some mods for the 240sx. I dont know if it snows in Santa Rosa, but you probably wont need a winter car. And if you get it you will end up spending twice as much as you do now on insurance.

I was thinking "sweet car" then I saw the quarter...

I'd be hesitate just because of the substantial damage...who knows how the car drives and if it'll hold an alignment...

I dunno man. He is basically admitting that he trashes the car daily. He told you he swiped a guardrail and then in the listing he says the pictures were taken after hitting 100+ on the highway. Its up to you. Check the car out, I guess. I would just hold on to the money though.

GREAT idea. You will end up much happier this way. Make sure you make a post with pictures in the 240sx forum when you get them in the mail.

I would see if he'd be willing to lower the price. At $500, it would be a great beater.
