1993 240 coupe up for auction with the Philadelphia Parking Authority on Thursday.
http://www.ppa-auctions.com/Auctions/3-27.html
Good deals to be found. Someone recently bought a '04 R32 for $17K. Nice.

[Jeff822]

Theres a white 240 sitting at East penn auto sales in Pen Argyl, Pa. Thats the place i bougth my coupe from. I couldnt tell from the road if it was a coupe or not.

[Liljitbugal]

bump. i just got one and i'll look for you now!!

[omgjacki]

Wow, I'm a few days late on the auction but I'm gonna keep looking there and see if I find anything. Thanks for the idea.

[Jeff822]

Just a heads up, mine might be up for sale in the month or 2. All depends if I can find a clean DSM to replace it.

[omgjacki]

Perfect timing for me. Let me know and we'll talk!

[SMOCAN]

How much are you seriously looking to spend...?

[omgjacki]

Not 5100.











No for real though... I'm looking for something around like $1200-$1500 at most.

[SMOCAN]

Not 5100.



Yea i didnt mean mine. Its sold.

just wondering because i'm not looking for a coupe so if I see one, i'll let you know.

And with that amount of money, are you expecting a good running stock car or are you planning to ditch the motor and replace it or build??

[omgjacki]

I don't want someone else's nightmare. I just want to find one that runs at least. I'll fix any problems it has aside from needing a new motor/trans. Maybe over the summer I'll be up for a swap but right now I just want something I can drive. I do plan on doing something to it eventually, though, which is why I'm not looking for just anything.

How's your search coming along? I'm currently looking for a coupe as well.

[omgjacki]

End of July...

[omgjacki]

bump, yo

[The Captain]

It can't be this hard to find a 240. I picked on up by accident for $300 last summer.

[omgjacki]

I've been trying to accidently find a cheap one for ages. It seems every time I do, I really have NO money. And when I do have money, everyone wants thousands of dollars for them :roll:

[Kevin]

haaha now its any 240.

My friend just bought a white '90 pig nose for $800 :eek:
















And his '95 is straight sick.

[omgjacki]

Eh, I've thought about it. The hatch backs aren't as bad as I've been letting on.

[CleanNeon98]

Jacki, I thought you bought one already, what happened?

[omgjacki]

I don't know

[jdmwill]

girl you needs to make your mind up...lol

[omgjacki]

Will if you can find me a 240 for like $1,000 I'd be happy =)

[OPZ]

Damn...I just searched in the pitt area really quick since I got mine for a song, but there's hardly any.

5 grand and you can have mine! ha...but good luck with this all of a sudden 'rare' car.

[photog72]

I wonder if the Volvo in this auction (http://www.ppa-auctions.com/Auctions/7-24.html) is just a 240SX, or a Volvo 240. Volvo didn't make 240SXes. This auction (http://www.ppa-auctions.com/Auctions/7-22.html) has some good cars up for auction - a '01 BMW 740, '06 MB CLS500, '02 BMW M5, '03 MB CLK500, '05 BMW 645. To name a few. No 240s though. Jacki, you should keep an eye out on the Philadelphia Parking Authority's website. I'm sure a 240 will pop up on there every now and then.

[240sr20]

92 coupe. 6 pt cage, sparco driver seat, silvia s14 pass seat. sr20 powered. top mount 57 trim. big fmic, bunch of bolt on upgrades here and there. silvia front end, blah blah blah, $6500 obo

^ Dude, it's $400! Who cares? Just swap to a manual and call it a day.Even for $400, IDK. Gotta have it checked out to see if there is frame damage or any damage from a wreck. Maybe it is a 1 owner. Carfax FTW. If I bought the car for $400 and the car was in real bad shape (bent frame), I could afford to fix it up right and mod it. Can Jacki? It's all about her finances.

Do you even know how simple it is to do a trans swap in these things? Haha I'm not worried about it, I'd just prefer it to be 5spd to save myself the work.

We'll see how great you think we are when you get my finders fee! That **** is NOT cheap.

[omgjacki]

I can't do this on my computer at work. Can someone look up how far Selden New York is from 19136? No... How far is Nassau?

[Nors]

The first 1, 150 miles, 2.5 hours. Is the second one in the bahamas?

[omgjacki]

LOL no, it's also in New York, in Long Island?

[omgjacki]

WOW... it's 217 miles. Waaaaaay too far.

[twastheglow]

If you're seeing cars a distance away, you're going to have to do 1 of 2 things. Buck up and take a drive with a friend, or wait until one in your area comes available. There are some people on here (1 including me) who drove quite a distance to get theirs. I personally drove 10 hours 1 way. :mrgreen:

[omgjacki]

Ugh, I wouldn't mind, I'm just afraid I'll drive go far and it'll be a nightmare. I'll start looking in Florida. I have family down there.

[Kevin]

She wants it manual because she thinks she can bang gears like this guy:

i still have the blue coupe jacki

[omgjacki]

I don't have $2500 and I need a car ASAP

[omgjacki]

Jason, what's your zip? I'm assuming that's where the car is, right?

[FazdaGt]

17517

and yes that's where the car is

it takes me about an hour to get into the city (philly) jacki, and our house is just minutes off of the tunpike exit

[omgjacki]

Okay, I'm going to try and get some money. I still have your number so I'll hit you up if I have any luck.

[twastheglow]

Come on Jacki..you can do it. Let the search be over!!!

[omgjacki]

If I can take a loan out for $2000 tomorrow then it will be, but I only make $600 a month so I'm worried about having $100 for my phone bill, $200 for insurance. That leaves me with $300 for my loan payment and gas. I need to go get another job fast.

[twastheglow]

You pay $200 a month for insurance? OUCH!!! You should give me a call so I can try to get you something cheaper. lol

[omgjacki]

You work for an insurance company? I'm just going by what Nationwide quoted me for a 240sx on my own policy. I haven't gone through it with my parent's policy yet, though. $200 was just an estimate.

[twastheglow]

Yeah, I work for AIG. I sell auto insurance in 40 of the 50 states. Was that quote just liability or full coverage?

[omgjacki]

Liability

[twastheglow]

That seems like a lot. But I can guarantee having it on your parents policy will be MUCH cheaper than on your own...especially because you get a multi-car discount.

[omgjacki]

Truee

[twastheglow]

Do you have anything on your driving record in the last 3 years?

[omgjacki]

Naaaaaah. I've only had my license for 2 months :eek:

[twastheglow]

You should PM me some info.

[Structure240sx]

ask for Tom at Allstate the number is 856-728-0514 i have never been so impressed with an insurance guy/company. he literally dropped my insurnace over $2000 a year tell him Anthony Pinto told you to call.

[FazdaGt]

sounds good.

he has a trade offer on the table for an s14 that needs some love, but cash talks with this kid :-p

lol someone photoshop my head on that guy!! lmao

[OPZ]

Deff put it on your parents.

Liability with it in rents name for me = $250...for 6 months.

[omgjacki]

WOW
$250 for 6 months?! That's only $40 something a month! No way... that's crazy. What insurance company?

[IdriveBad]

My car is on my moms insurance with Allstate and it's only like 300 and change for 6 months.

[OPZ]

WOW
$250 for 6 months?! That's only $40 something a month! No way... that's crazy. What insurance company?

Nationwide, but this is also after all their discounts and crap, which is why I went ahead and just let it go in their name.

[180sxDrifter]

ouch.. allastate with my fair share of tickets was only $70 a month on my own policy

[sexystover]

insurance for me on my parents policy as a secondary driver is $100 a month

[Structure240sx]

lets let it be known i was the first to say go with allstate, full coverage platinum plan (rates wont go up if you get tickets points or accidents) on my truck is cheaper under my name than my moms. with my truck and other car i pay $2k less then when it was just my truck and another company.... call tom at the number i gave and give him my name

[92sileighty]

damn, i wish i read this thread when i was looking for my 240 u ppl find some good ass deals

[omgjacki]

Bump!

I e-mailed the guy about the hatch in Levittown again. Lets see if he answers me.

[Shoolig]

200 a month is a whole lot for a 240.

When I was 16, I had my 92' 3000GT VR4 on my own policy for 180 a month- everything except collision.

I bought a 92' 240SX hatch a year later when I was 17 and that cost around 90 bucks a month.

I have Bob Witmer State Farm, they're great.

I pay 70 bucks or something for my twin turbo Z and I am 19 now, so, yeah- go get a quote.

If you buy my Z I will pay your insurance for 6 months! ;-)

[omgjacki]

If I had $9,500 I would have a real nice 240

[Drftpretty]

Why the hell havent you picked up my brothers yet?

[omgjacki]

I don't know. I came up yesterday and looked at it. I just have to come get it. I was going to come Friday. I have to see what's going on and talk to your brother first. In the mean time, I'm still looking.

Less then 1500...isn't going to get much. I was bored and popped on ebay and around, and all the even decent 240's were around 2k. I paid 1750 for mine, so best of luck in that regard...

[caldwell]

are you still banking a lil bit from each pay check ???? - if you got the 1500 already 2000 shouldnt be to hard to get to plus then at that point you could just give someone ( " an offer they can't refuse " - GF lol ) if they are willing to lose 2 or 300 to get rid of the 240 they selling...


best O' luck 2 ya !!!

Is your mind set only on a Nissan? If not I could recommend an older Honda like mine, I've seen a lot of them go for 200-300 bucks and need another 200 in repairs and its a reliable car. Just a thought.

Edit: Ok I cannot locate any for that price but I did find this. It looks to be in decent shape, only issue that you MAY have is the carburetor, those can get bitchy. Trust me on that I have one.

I don't even know her and I'm pretty sure she is hellbent on a 240.

Like I said, I really wish her good luck in trying to buy one that cheap in a good condition...I know if I had an extra $2,500 I would totally buy this:

Alright, I'm working on my money situation. Within the next week or so I'm hoping to have around $3,000. I'm still not sure if it'll happen yet so I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'll update when I know.

[Erik]

good luck with finding a car. how long have you been looking now for a 240? 14 years? :p

[eurotrashed]

did you get my PM of that stupid cheap 'vert?

If that came up only like a week later I would be picking that up.

[omgjacki]

good luck with finding a car. how long have you been looking now for a 240? 14 years? :p

Something like that.

It just seems like everytime I get a decent amount of money something comes up and it's so hard for me to save.

did you get my PM of that stupid cheap 'vert?

If that came up only like a week later I would be picking that up.

I did. I looked at the ad and talked to my dad about it, briefly. I'm going to see what I can do. It's it really what it says it is I'm picking it up.

[eurotrashed]

Good luck. They list a few things wrong with it, but at that price you would think it wasn't road worthy or something. Or from what it seems, it just seems like a clueless person is selling it.

It pisses me off though. I am in the process of parting my Jetta to either fund a 240sx or a bike, and if these kids would stop jerking me around and buy my parts I could buy that. But like I said, I would ruin it. Gut it, cut the window frame off, put a cage in... I think it would be cool..

[Erik]

yea jacki, im feeling you on that one. all i could come up iwth was enough for a 97 5spd protege after blowing the engine on the sunbird :(

[omgjacki]

I've been trying to save money for a damn 240sx for like, 2 years. The most I've had at once is like $800-$900. As bad as I want one, you'd think I'd be saving every penny I get. Well, I am. I just find myself in a hole some how, every time.

[twastheglow]

Ok, so, not to get too personal, but how much do you have to spend right now?

[twastheglow]

And did you ever end up making it to the bank to apply for a small loan?

At this point, I can't see that NOT happening.

Jdawg... you've heard me say it before but if you cant get the cash together to buy a cheap 240, you definitely will not be able to afford gas and insurance which will probably be well over $3000 per year combined... and then there's tires, brakes, other unexpected maintenance, etc...
So... about getting off your lazy ass and trying to find a job as a waitress somewhere to double or triple your income? Na nevermind, terrible idea.

Yeah, seriously. Excellent point! You'd make WAY more waitressing!!! I think that might honestly be your next step. Good call on Troll's part. That was actually a great suggestion. Instead of trying to find a car that fits your budget, since that obviously isn't working out, how about finding a budget that fits your car?

[omgjacki]

Ok, so, not to get too personal, but how much do you have to spend right now?

Nothing.

And did you ever end up making it to the bank to apply for a small loan?

No, I'm going to a credit union this week. I'm just in the middle of something right now. As soon as it clears, I'm out.

haha i tried to get a loan through commerce for only 2k...i got denied....ass hats.

Banks are more strict on loans than credit unions are. If I though I could get a loan through my bank, I would have done so months ago.

[Erik]

whoa burn troll, :p. Hot waitresses make a ton! *hint hint* :thumbup:

and yea, touche bout the banks.

Yeah, I can. That's not $3000 at once. I can afford payments, but for some reason, just as my luck would have it, every time I have more than $200 to my name, something comes up. I don't have the greatest life so money is a big deal for me. Look, I'd really rather not talk about this. If I can get a loan, great. If not, we're closing this thread and I'm giving up my search.

lame on giving up! keep it coming. something will turn up.

[Kevin]

Good looking women make a killing waitressing. Doesn't even really matter where you do it either.

[TROLL]

I allllmost thought you saw the light when we talked about this before. Your current financial situation will not support owning a car. The best thing you can do for your car and your finances that go way beyond that would be to bust your ass and do whatever it takes to find a better job and better pay. Until then, IMO, you shouldn't even be considering taking on an expense like this... loan, gas, and insurance will be over $500 a month if I were to guess. Sorry, again not trying to be an ass, but it seems that historically you cant hang on to $500 a month so it would be dangerous and irresponsible to make this kind of financial commitment.
I'll stop posting about it here if you want, but you made a public thread looking to buy a 240... your budget is obviously something that would be discussed as part of this process.

And one more time just to reiterate... it might not be easy to find a job waitressing. It might suck. It might take a while. You might want to give up. But you will find a job somewhere, and when you do... it will result in $10k or $20k extra per year (realllly rough numbers). $10k a year? Think about that... you could buy Kevin as a pet and keep him in a cage for that kind of money.

kinky, i like.

[Erik]

i worked nights while going to BCCC and worked 2 jobs over the summer and still doing that while taking this semester off. I think you can pick up a second job and give up 4 or 5 nights a week for an additional 100 or 200 bucks. just gotta adjust the priorities and what not. Anyone can do it. just gotta keep your dedication up there. Think about the reward, finally owning that car you want.

[omgjacki]

Duh. I'm just saying, I've done the math. It might be tight, but I know I can afford it. I have a friend in financing and he went through everything with me and we figured out what I'll roughly be spending every month. I included my other expenses and I still bring home more cash than the cost we came up with. And I'm not talking $5.00 more, either.

I'm not saying you're wrong. You're definitely not. I know I can make more money somewhere else. This is just convenient for me right now.

Anyone know of any cell phone call centers in the area? They make mad loot.

[Erik]

work for chacha :-p

[omgjacki]

No way.

[abrok99]

my friend makes a killing just bus boying he brings home like 320 every time he works and waitress make way more than that just get a job waitressing until you make enough to get the 240 you want

[omgjacki]

I should just rename this thread to, "Jacki's pathetic, never-ending search for a 240SX with no money thread." :roll:

[OPZ]

Seriously don't give up. I almost did on my hunt for mine, and then one day I got on my laptop at the beginning of class and tada, there she was. It'll make owning it that much sweeter.

So if you can do it, and your SURE you can do it, then don't stop.

Already looking into the coupe in Jersey. I've read up on auto to manual swaps so much that I could probably do it without help or instructions. LOL jk.

[240sxDann]

Jacki, seriously I'll come help if you ever need it. I'd be glad to help you get into a 240. It would be a hike, but I could make the trip a day here and there to help out.

[russiankid]

I don't know **** about 240's, but if you need help with a manual swap I am sure a lot of people could come help you. Hell I would come help out, dropping a tranny isn't that hard.

[Kevin]

240 manual swap is easy as dirt. Just need the parts and a pulse.

[omgjacki]

Thanks, Dan =)

Anyone know of any cell phone call centers in the area? They make mad loot.T-Mobile has a call center in the Allentown area (last I heard about a year ago). Closest to here. I don't know if there are others in the area. And, yes, those customer service peeps make decent $$.

i wish my wtb 240sx thread got this much attention :(

Yeah, I know about that one. Tooooooo far. I can't go 70 miles one way to work. I think there is a Verizon call center in the city. Not sure where though, and I'm not even too sure there definitely is one there.

[DriftNasty180sx]

http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/KevinCress/?action=view&current=110.flv

And my god are 240's fun. **** slid like it was on ice (let alone it does have full suspension) lol. Pretty equal to a modded DSM with the T25 which is quick but gets boring fast.

I support you in getting a 240 after experiencing one first hand.

[djb5118]

jump on that and make it snappy!

haha like i said, i couldnt find the ad again. i would have been on it if i could have made it work, but i figure ill share the wealth

[omgjacki]

I have the number. Called, no answer, left message.

[Got Insulin?]

I have the number. Called, no answer, left message.

Oh, ****, it's in the works! Hurry up and get it so you can break it and build it! :mrgreen:

[djb5118]

he emailed me back. The car is at his friends and he's showing it tomorrow. I would call and put money down tonight if your serious Oh, and it's a COUPE!!

[omgjacki]

Awesome because he failed to tell me if it was a coupe or a hatch. I did get an e-mail back from him, though. He said it's been sitting for a year, needs a clutch, and needs some work to get it running properly. I don't know if he meant it doesn't run at all, or that it runs, just not well. I asked for the VIN so that I can try to get a CARFAX. By the way, if anyone has unlimited CARFAX, hook me up! I then talked to his wife and she said he was out showing it and she would have him call me tonight. Haven't gotten a reply or a phone call yet, though. If I talk to him tonight I'm going to try to go down there this weekend either Saturday afternoon, or Sunday.

ah word. he didnt mention to me that it needed anything. im sure theres enough resources on here though that it wouldnt be much of a problem, plus thats good for negotiaton

[omgjacki]

Not that it matters, but KBB is about $1,900 as it is. $1,000 is a damn good deal for this car. Not that it's going to stop me from negotiating, haha.

We'll see. I have to look at the car myself. I can't just go by what he's saying.

[djb5118]

it sold

[omgjacki]

I know, I got the e-mail. I should have known. Oh well.

[Kevin]

Ouch. Jesus christ. Maybe this is a sign that you shouldn't own a 240? :lol: lol idk devil's advocate?

[natethegreatt]

why not get a cheap daily driver and keep saving up
the RWD market isnt gonna pick up til almost next summer, not many people are going to try to sell a rwd car during the winter in the northeast

[StylezTA]

natethegreatt - Ah, 240's sell year around cuz every 17+ year old knows how to drift and be really cool. Never had a problem selling them even when they weren't the cool car.

OP - is a s13 ur dream car or something? Couldn't imagine lookin for one of these things for this long lol.

[eurotrashed]

I hear McCain's wife is buying all the 240sx in the world as part of the greater right wing conspiracy.

i didnt say no one tried to sell

do you have one for sale?

[omgjacki]

I stopped looking a long time ago because I don't have any money and people keep bumping the thread!

I'm not looking anymore.

[StylezTA]

i didnt say no one tried to sell

do you have one for sale?

all 3 are for sale.

1993 Coupe with a ca18.
1992 Vert with a rb20, rb25 turbo
and my last to sell will be the 1992 hatch with a ka-t. Not running perfect just yet :)

I want a pretty penny for every single one and in my area, easily done.

omgjacki - sorry to hear :( get a good daily and just save and maybe in the future it will work out for ya! :cool:
