My little brother has been looking for a 240 recently. He called me in a panic last night about a 240 on cars.com for sale in the Chicago suburbs.

97 5 spd with 105k on it. White ext. with a zenki front swapped on it?

anyhow... $2,000.

I called on it. The guy said he had somebody looking at the moment and he would call me right back. He never called back.

So apperantly somebody just got themself a heck of a deal. I am sure the car was in a front end accident... why else would you put a zenki front on a kouki car... but still an awesome deal. Granted I didn't see the car, but he said it was in great shape.

Oh well.. easy come easy go huh

I seen it on cars.com too and I called on it. I told the guy I had cash in hand if he could tell me about it. He said it had some problems and he thought the engine was going. He said he it had been in a accident before. That was a flag for me not to go anyfurther. I will keep my S13. Probably a good project car for someone.
