what do i do about this 240

[nightsauce]

Ok so my friend is selling his 240 for only 500 because it has a blown piston ring, yea black smoke n all. I want to buy it but im sorta short on space...i had plans on buying it and rebuilding the ka24de but i had the silly idea of keeping the entire car and building on it. i believe its rusted pretty bad on the frame rails and keeping it in my leaky garage would only make it worse.

Should i just keep it and part it out or should i build it?

buy first, then think. 500 for a 240 is a steal, rust or no rust. use it as a learning tool. buy a rebuild kit and rebuild the motor yourself, you already have a car so it won't be hampering you any. then either boost it or sell it, well that's what i would do anyway

[glitched]

If its mostly stock and really crappy like i imagin it is, i would get it, swap in a cheap KA that works and use it to rally cross

[nightsauce]

thanks for the input guys. I figured it was a steal, just have no space for it. i guess i'll put it at my neighbors for now until i get my old totaled car outta my garage.

EDIT: the totaled car is not my 240. its an old 87 Plymouth Colt. =D

hook a chain to it and drag it out in the yard, or better yet, haul it to your local scrap yard and get some cashish for it.

he was talking about the 87 Colt. a$$.

OP, buy it, see what condition EVERYTHING on the car is in.

depending on how bad the rust is, take everything out of/off of the car thats in good shape to re-use or sell. then scrap the chassis for the metal and get some dolla's out of it. then sell what parts you dont need, and perhaps keep the motor to rebuild for later.

[sommmatt]

you and the mad scientist will have to replace the piston ring he fried!

[JdrifterCA]

buy it and wait for another drift movie to come out. than sell it at high price.

yea, thats whats gonna happen. Keep the ka, part the car.

To the public: dont call dibs on anything yet. You'll see the part out in the appropriate thread in a few weeks.

yea but i wouldnt want to sell a really bad conditioned shell.

[FRnIsmO]

here's a though, work on that motor, pull it out and keep it as a bench motor dude. kadet are respectable. take what you need from it and swap the parts from your car. you can switch motors when it's ready and still have another 240 to sell. i hate ordering heating hoses!

[S13Joe]

get it, talk him down if you can but only a little. use it for the parts that you need then part it out. even if the body is THAT bad someone with the welding skills can fix it up. the more 240s the merrier lol, my front lawn looked like a 240 graveyard at one point. at least thats what my girlfriend told me.

[leland420]

hey people i was woundering if there was anyone in around the south dakota boarder and new of some alright 240sxs im not looking for a right year just one not so beat up. haha thanks.

[ilovesideways]

buy it and take the parts off that you want and then sell the shell.

[nightsauce]

old thread but he still has the car...i had talked him down to 300 and i had picked up a shell for dirt cheap, then i got into an accident, took the body parts off the shell and sold the shell to make space for this 240...when i spoke to him the other day, he said $600. Talk about wtf. His brother talked him into upping the price (drift tax). $600 not worth it imo. His brother also was like "yo imma put a skyline engine in it"

.........good luck to him, damn vw owner. lol. Anyways...i decided not to get the 240. If anyone is interested in a rusty shelled 240 in the NJ area, let me know lol.

lol where did that come from?

$600? a 200% markup? that veedub moron probably doesn't know jack about RWD except the fact his car doesn't have it. lol $600 is lame
