Here goes... I got a '95 base model with Konig Imagine (I think) wheels, koni adjustable struts, eibach sportline springs, 113K miles, completely spotless interior only needing that shifter trim and radio bezel (which I blindly asked a guy on ebay who was selling other 240sx parts if he had them, and I got them both for $25 shipped), a very nice and new pioneer head unit with tons of custom work, including completely new wiring and a 640W kenwood amp to push highs/mids and another 1000W kenwood amp for subs (tweeters in the A pillars, components in the doors, 6 other tweeter-like things in the back along with the other two speakers on the deck). The car didnt come with subs though, and I didn't plan on getting them so I sold the amp to a friend for $125. The engine and drivetrain was completely stock. When I got it, the only things missing were: camber arms, new tires, spare tire, rear seatbelts, shifter boot, and radio bezel. The tint's bubbly though and I cant wait to fix that. Since then I've gotten everything I just mentioned, and haven't had time/money to do anything else to it since I slid it into a curb, and had to replace both tie rods, tc rod, tc rod brace, and spindle, all on the passenger side. Future plans are exhaust (done by a local shop for cheap, with at least one LARGE resonator and maybe a second in place of the cat (I'm going for quiet and throaty), turbo kit, and probably a brushed aluminum dash kit because they look sweet. Purchase price = $5150. Have put aprox. $1200 into it so far, mostly my curbing it.
