You never invest all of the money you have to have something for back up pd.

Dude i dont know if soeone else said this yet or if you have decided casue frankly i dont want to read three pages of opnions, but anyway heres mine and i think i saw a few that agreed with me. I personally be pissed i put so much time watching ur car get built only to never see it run. haha, but i honestly love s2k's and i would prolly say go for it. if your seriously considering ur not into your 240 enough. Also if and when u want a 240 back you could easily sell the s2k and start another build. Dude just think you can straight up afford in cash a new *** car pretty much (like 04). No car payments and pplus the car is sick stock. Funnest car i have ever ever drove 10x better then a z4 i drove.

If you sell this car you better watch your back ( I know where you live)....JK. Man, if he offered you that much as it sits I'd do it in a heartbeat cuz that's the closest you'll ever come money ahead on a project. Sure there was alot of blood and sweat shed on it, but if you're anything like me (or the rest of this community) it won't be your last project, and there will be other fish in the sea to wrench on and curse at.

NO SALE! the car would haunt your dreams, you would most likely buy another one and start over because you can't get over the what if's. 16k is alot of money, especially for any 240...consider it the ultimate compliment. Sit in it, you know you want to....bet that the memories are worth more than the money. If I built a car with my dad I would keep it for the rest of my life....cause your dad won't be around for ever.

if you can make a profit on it. why not. then you just have the extra money to work car but i hear that 240s are pretty rare in idaho so it might not be worth it to you

Yeah i saw a pignose driving home from school today driving by some lady in her 40s. 2nd time i have seen it. but yeah they are pretty rare and that is a cool deal cause people think they are slow FWD like probs.

MVAL123- is the closest 240 guy besides the kid i bought my car from so that is like 2 in a hundred mile radius.

Man I haven't seen anyone else in AR, that's on NICO. I saw a pignose in Searcy, the town where I work, with a giant intercooler. Thought about following him and making him pop the hood. I wish I had of now, because that was the only time I saw him.

With that said though I would stick with Nissan,

Go after a 300ZX twin turbo, or add a couple bucks and get a 350Z

S2000's are SEXY cars. Look at this though, So far you would win it for $8000 so you would have LOTS leftover.. Not to mention you could probably find a BETTER one at a BETTER deal than this..

I am just a Nissan guy myself, One of these is the next car I am going to after my 240!

At $8000 you would still have some money to play with

I hear ya bro, and I totally respect that.. I have a 1992 240SX Fastback and I plan on keeping it FOREVER.I will get a 300ZX to sit beside her though!

Think about if you put the money into a 300ZX that you put into your 240SX what you would have!
