its on auction from my parkin company. customer just left the car there and didn't come back. been there for 3 YEARS now. its a 1993 240sx base( but has cd player?), color is dark green(did it come in a green??? or am i seeing things) 5 speed, 118k miles going for $1300.
since its an auction piece and i'm pretty sure no ones gonna be there to bid, how much do u think they will let me have it for? i'm thinkin $800. theres no key for the car since customer has then but they will make the key for me when i buy. and since theres no key i can't test drive, look at engine compartment or even open the door or hatch to check for rust. and did i mention two flat tires? lol its also kinda banged up. and the interior is kinda nasty.
seems like its not worth it but what u guys think? i'm currently driving a 00 civic hatch thanks for all ur opinions
I'd say go for it,when i got my 240 with 87,xxx on it i paid $2,400 and it runs fine...but then again, I take good care of my car and properly maintain it. as long as the car itself runs fine, then I think you should take it, especially if you can cut it at 800$...interiors are replacable and so are tires...even if you were start spending money to restore it, overall i think imo that you would be very happy...just make sure it runs...

-91' 240, nothing special but it still rocks
-92' B18C civic vx
i'd have a test drive though... u won't kno how it runs unless u get a test drive so this is an iffy.

i'd say that on a 93 with 118k, it should run fairly well. and yeah, i would go for it. i'd try to get it as low as i could, but that's only because i'm cheap
aren't we all cheap? i don't think any of us here have yet spent big bucks besides nx2000 but he had to get a loan, i guess this is a poor 240sx forums
my 90 has about 117k miles ooo it runs good

depends on how cheap you get it. I got my 240 for 1100. The day I picked up, I immediately drove it 1000 miles to Texas and a wekk and a half later dove it 1700 from texas to ND. NO test drive since I got such a good deal. I wouldnt recommend this and I dont know if I would do it again if I had the opprotunity. If it is local and you can get it cheaply...WHY NOT???
see thats the big concern i have I CANT TEST DRIVE IT OR SEE IF IT EVEN RUNS!!! so thats y im goin to ask for 500 for it and then probably work up til 800. im pretty sure its ok with those miles and year and remember the person who left it there had to drive it there in the first place.
gonna have about 3g's to put into it if i buy it "what should i get first?" i kno i kno i've seen that question asked all the time on the honda boards and laugh cause its so easy to answer but 240's are new to me. these are my criterias
1-stay na
2-drift/daily driver
3-eventually exterior mods
i'm thinkin 1g for tein ha, 1g for lightweight wheels/tires, 500 for two racin seats, 250 for maintainance items, what should i do wit the other 250 or am i goin about this all wrong?? thanks again
93blackSER - i'm in the city u too far and i can't afford peeps biddin against me
i'd say with 2g's extra that if you plan to stay NA, i'd get an intake, header, and exhaust. followed by any suspension mod you can afford if you plan to drift. if you really plan to drift, then keep the stock wheels as you wont be so disappointed to scrape them up and tires are cheaper for them.
i knooooo but i want that low profile mad camber look so baaaad lol anyway thanks for knockin some sense into me hehe i think i'mma stick wit them stock rims and put money elsewhere
Under $1300 is a decent price. Heck just over 6 years ago I paid $5000 for mine with 68,000mi and it was in pristine condition. As for the green, I remember back in 1989 I test drove a 240 that was a pearl green with the hologram speedometer on the windshield. Dont see those around anymore.
Anyway GL if you get it. Do basic mods first if you do. ECU, intake, and exhaust would be the first choices.
see thats the thing i dont' wanna do basic mods that - lets face don't really do anything major -
i want LSD, coilovers and drifting skillz of course
i'm sick and tired of buy dumb crap that don't do SHIT!!! i kno they help out in the long run but right now not really like intake 100-300 down the drain to hear the sound while addin 3 hp. better spent on tires in my opinion
thanks for the knowledge guys keep 'em coming what else besides those i listed for major impact in driving expeirence?
Linear Mode
