Im thinking of purchasing this 240sx, has rust on the passenger rocker panel and lower rear quarter panel. Fixable yes..but do i wanna deal with that. Also its manual locks and windows..what would i have to go through to swap that over to powered? Is it worth going for if i can get the car for about 1.3-1.5k?

Since you're from PA, check the frame rails. They always seem to rot out by the driver's side front wheels. If the rockers and rear quarters are fixable, then go for it.

As far as power options, would you really NOT buy a car because it was manual doors. Oh noez! you have to move your arm. Base models are lighter weight. And I've heard that the power features are actually somewhat problematic (SCC 240sx Buyer's Guide-- don't remember the issue offhand but I think it was Oct 07) Buy something that has a good running engine and transmission. It's not cool if it's on the side of the road, y0! Good luck with your purchase!
