Finally found a 240sx coupe! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

IdriveBad · 05-28-2008, 07:20 PM

Well I wanted one a while ago, but things changed and I was busy with other cars. Recently I've been looking for one for a project. After checking out a few, I finally found the perfect one for me and bought it. I found it monday, checked it out today and bought it. Picking it up saturday.

Good:
- Clean title
- 115k
- Mint body/interior
- Power everything including power sunroof
- Owned by older guy, commuter, not beaten on

Bad:
- Some small rust, mostly surface, nothing serious
- Auto. I'm swapping in an SR anyway so that doesn't matter
- Color is eh (looks like a creamish white/yellow)

The motor is shot, didn't really get into details about it, I may try and tinker with it and see how bad it is, then sell it haha. As for price, I got it for $700.

LOL @ hubcaps

Looks good. BTW I'm loving those spinners, there ballin'.

IdriveBad · 05-28-2008, 07:33 PM

Those will be taken off and burned as soon as I get the car back to my house. Then I'll clean it and take some nicer pics.

180sxDrifter · 05-28-2008, 07:52 PM

If you're going to burn those sweet caps, then you might as well sell the car. Those things are the sickest part!

RaguGLi · 05-28-2008, 09:14 PM

nice find im gonna be looking for one soon.

Proven · 05-28-2008, 10:16 PM

Nice, I actually love the color combo (ditch the **** out of that trunk rack though).. Save the spinner caps incase they come back in style hehe!

EliteJDM.com for your engine, front end conversion, gauge cluster, manual swap etc etc... there jdmexchange2005 on ebay (the originator of JDM exchange started his own thing "Nick" tell him Bob sent ya).. if not them JDM motorsports I think it is "Mike".. good people.

Also if you need any extra hands for the Manual swap, engine swap I’m always game for it!! (I've done them both a couple times and love it!).

Good luck with the car.. nice grab.

matthenny · 05-28-2008, 11:05 PM

motor gone at 115k?

PUREKDM · 05-28-2008, 11:09 PM

240sxDann · 05-28-2008, 11:11 PM

Yeah, I'm not sure of the extent of whats wrong with it. He didn't seem to know that much on the car, he just said it needed a new motor. When I go to pick up the car I'll ask him exactly whats wrong with it.

GregFarz78 · 05-29-2008, 07:14 AM

Nice find can I get dibs on that luggage rack? lol Good price for a clean body, the SOHC engine isnt worth crap anyway just ditch it

I will most likely be pulling it soon and selling along with other parts I don't need. I wouldn't waste my time with the sohc either haha. I only bought this car for the shell. I'm pulling the engine and trans and selling whatever I don't need. Oh yeah, car also has an Injen intake w/ filter haha.
