I really need a 240sx, HELP!

[lrb_2000]

Hey,

ANYONE SELLING AN 89-93 240SX IN THE PACIFIC NW!?!?

I'm selling my 3rd gen prelude, or trying... I need to find a 240sx before I can make the sale final. I'm looking for an s13, as long as it's dohc, runs good and strong...milage doesn't matter too much as long as it runs good... but I don't want to spend more than $2000 on the car.

I live in Lewiston ID but will travel....

[FDTT]

$2000 and you expect to get a good running good shape S13???

LOL, i guess miricles happen. How much you selling your lude for? I usto have an 88 2.0S, fun little car but no where near as fun as the S14

[Tims_240]

i bought mine for 1100, ran awesome body was almost flawless, mircales happen? i dont know about that, how about you open ur eyes and look for one. but yeah you should be able to find a decent 240 for 2k.

[SHIFT_KA24DE]

definitely... i found my 93 S13 with a clean engine/body for 2k. Just keep looking... it's out there. But as soon as you find one don't hesitate to call/contact the person. A lot of 240's slipped thru my fingers that way.

[FDTT]

AHHHHHH what the hell. You guys get great deals. Where i am your lucky to find a nice 89+ S13 for under 5k. Wish i got those kind of deals on 240s. I payed 13500 for my 98. And i though that was a good deal .:P

[rps13freak]

where are you located. sounds like its not in the US.

[lrb_2000]

I think I may have found one...$1800
Body is in perfect condition, completely straight, not a single dent. Motor has 172k but runs strong and shift perfect. Has new exhaust header back. eibach lowering springs, HKS struts/shocks all around, 16" 5 spoke rims... it's great, now I need to sell my prelude right away, or get to the bank for a loan.

[FDTT]

Im in Vancouver Canada. And 240's arent cheap around here. The only cheap car is an old civic or a Pony. LOL

[lrb_2000]

HAH! I got it. It's a 1989 240sx Coupe. I got it for $1200. Nothing wrong except blown headgasket, cost me $50 to fix.

[D-Bo]

$50 for a head gasket??? can i send you my car to get my head gasket done for $50???

[logik23]

I think he means the valve cover gasket.

[lrb_2000]

no...head gasket was only like $40, then I had to get the intake and exhaust gaskets... I did it myself.. no labor ccost....

Maybe the SOHC gaskets are cheaper, that's what the engine is.

[Ledzepig]

congrats... what are ur plans for it?

[drumpet15]

Did you sell your Prelude? Where did you find the 240? I also live in the Pacific Northwest and am having a hard time finding any 240's.

[D-Bo]

shit man i wish i knew how to use a wrench..


(overstated)



i'm not that bad, i just dont know enough to do the work on my car myself.. but congrats on the find..
