Should I buy this?

[nissanfan240]

I found a 90' Nissan 240sx for $3500. The body is in perfect condition with no dents or scratches at all. It has some electrical problems tho, the auto seatbelts don't work and the heater controls don't work, but I think it might be a fuse. Other than it has 150k miles on it but runs great and has full exhaust. I have been trying to buy a 240sx for more than three months and this is the first one that is closest to what I am looking for, i know the price is high but they must be rare around here or something. Should i make the purchase or move on??

If I were you I would look to see if the timing chain has been replaced yet. If it has, also test drive the car to see how the sychros are, esp. in 2,3,5 gear. Run the gears high "not redline but you know" and shift. If you hear any grinding noise then they may be faulty or going out.

If they check clear, I would try to negotiate the price down the $2800 or something. Goodluck with your purchase.

$3500 is a little steep for a 90 in that condition. If you wanted one that badly right away, just drive to California, where there's tons of 240sx around.

Hmm.. dont let the exhaust push you towards a purchase...It sounds really clean though, I say look at it really closely before you dive in.The mileage is high, but that's what JDM engines are for

[LincolnRacer]

we had a 95 240 around here that was around 4000 dollars, but didnt sell, it had around 60,000 miles. I suggest finding a better deal.

[Former_240_s14]

I think we all forgot the most important part of his thread, is a manual or auto!!!!!!!!!!!!! If its an auto, def. kick it to the side, if its a manual, try to negotiate a lower price my man.

P.S. Please only post this thread in one forum, we have been having some bandwith problems lately, thanks.

correction: 4800 dollars, 75k miles, automatic.

[SilviaLuvr]

yeah man i'll spend $3500 on a 93' sx but for a 90' wit 150K miles man i don't care if it rides on rails that is still over priced

[nissanfan240]

Washington sucks! 93' 240sx's are going for 6g's to 7g's here

[574-240sx]

I live in south bend, in. I drove to Parma, OH(south of cleveland) for a 92 240sx. But, the guy was origionally asking 2800 dropped price to 2200, then 1700. I drove down with 1700 and talked him down to 1400. Its an auto with 175K, flawless body and alarm. I got a quote for parts for the auto to manual conversion at the junkyard. They said 350 if i pull the parts myself. there are better deals around, it only took me 2 months to find mine.

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

nissanfan240 ill sell you non running 90 for like 1000 or less. engine is practically blown, interior is perfect, body has a couple of spots that need work but the frame is perfect. its a great project car and ideal for a swap. oh, and i live 30 min from you :Pemail: [email protected] if you want

[scruf1986]

Dude. The body is awsome. Its an S13. Get an engine swap if its a manual. Try to get the price down.

[SmithSR]

Swift....is this car still available? it sounds like what i'm lookin for.

[fiznat]

man I would never pay $3500 for a 13 year old SOHC car... its just way too much, I dont care what it is.

[Stee Flo]

Thats too much for that year in that condition. I got my 93 for that price in good condition with 84k miles.

[lilaznvietboi]

I got a 92 240SX FB for 2k. But the engine is swap and it is 93 with like 95k on the engine.

[Bussman240sx]

i dont know what the market is like in WA, but here in WI i bought my 91 with 110k in emacualte condition for $2300. the paint is perfect, and so is the interior. and no electrical problems. i would keep in looking.

[Bryce]

In washington the prices seem pretty high for 240s for some reason. but that is way to high. btw swift with the car for sale give us some more info, i am very interested pm me B

[1991240xs]

i got my 91 240sx for 2200 dollars...the guy said he was selling it because he didn't want to have to pay to get both the retractable seatbelts fixed....lol...good stuff..i'm getting them done for free because seatbelts are lifetime warentee with nissan...don't let the seatbelts bother you...free fix-

[singlecamhonduhkilla]

HAHAI GOT MY 89 WIT A GOOD BODY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.. WIT NO A/C FOR1200BUCKSHAHA KEEP LOOKINGJOE OH YA AND 5SPDJOE

[Zebrahead]

Washington sucks! 93' 240sx's are going for 6g's to 7g's here

That is if you can actually find one for sale. Every time I look in the paper, I never see any 240s for sale. I have one, but I look out of curiosity. I've considered selling mine, because you can sell them for more than book value, but really. What am I gonna do w/ 7k? I'd never get a better car then what I have now unless I take out a loan. Eff that.
