I've been trying to sell my car for weeks. Someone ran into the front of it and ran from the scene, and because of the police not telling me when they closed the case, my insurance can't cover it (its been too long since hte accident). So now I'm stuck with 1200 front damage. Thats been a known issue though. Theres other ****. My breaks squeeking, I changed the pads so they squeek on and off now (what happens when you dont resurface the rotors) and theres some strange squeeling during regular driving now too. On top of that, the CD player went not long after I got the car (stock CD player), total peice of crap. Peices of my interior are falling apart too. The adjustment peice for the drivers seat back came off because the screw came out (Wtf). the drivers side console control plastic fitting peice cracked (same problem with my friends) and pops out all the time (just like my friends). Now heres the best, the arm rest on the door cracked in. Theres a hole large enough to fit half my hand in. I don't know how it got there (i have both sets of keys, so it wasnt someone ****ign around in my car), but its there. Thats going to screw the last strand of a chance I had of selling my car. I'm sick of it. I'm seriously ready to ride it off a freaken bridge and watch it sink into the water, all the while cursing at it and flicking it off. I'd expect stupid crap like this to happen to cars as they get older, but its a 97, so I'm very dissapointed. As of current I don't have any plans to buy another nissan ever again in my entire life (i was going to buy a 240Z after selling this, not now) after this car. If I ever get rid of the damn thing, I think I'm getting a dakota or s10 pickup. Put a fork in me cuz I'm through. Sorry to anyone that actually read all this crap, just had to vent a little bit.

Hey hey, don't drive it off a bridge, give it to me :D Does it still run? I'm driving around a 91 240 with excess of $5's of dmg to it, every part of the car except the windows and passenger side door is damaged.

it runs just fine to be honest, it just appears stupid little things are going wrong. the engine couldnt run stronger. its probably just my bad luck, but im getting a beater truck, so that if **** breaks, i dont have to get pissed about it. im very dissapointed in the overall build qaulity of the interior though, thats for damn sure.

get the 240Z!!! you'll be pleased. mod heaven. Just pick up a nice shell, then get a 280zx turbo motor and wiring, combine the two and have fun in your new 13 sec car.

seriously stephnic, i might be interested. I really want a 5 spd, but i would sacrifice that for the 97+ front end. It is a 97 right? How much do you want for it?

im most certainly interested in trades, more than you would imagine. as far was what im asking, I'm asking 6800obo, keep in mind the OBO is very important in that price, since no one seems to be biting.

most of the front has to be replaced (estimated at 1200). the only 97+ part thats worht having is the tail lights, since theyre $1k new, and impossible to find used.
