"Total Loss Check Severe Accident or Total Loss Event Reported by a DMV"

Ok, so I've never used Carfax, but doesn't that mean it was totaled at some point? It said it had frame damage two years ago, but has no record of it being repaired...was it?

Send some pics... Is it 5-spd?

I mean, if it has been repaired to 'perfect' condition... 5k is a damn good price.

Avioid it man. Seriously. It is not worth it at all. There are LOTS of 240s here in Texas (I got mine in Plano), so take your time and find a good one.

BTW, are you onhttp://www.texas240sx.com orhttp://www.houston240sx.com?

Be careful here, i found a 240 w/ salvage title that i was goin to look at and someone bought it before i could get to it, then realiized the speedo didn't work along with other problems and they took it back to the owner. You just can't trust accident vehicles
