Found a 240!...but...
I was on my way home from school today when i come around a corner a few miles from my house and spot a blue S14 at a dealership. I didn't have anything to do this afternoon so i pull in. (i'm all excited and acting like a 3 year old who just saw barney at this point). As i get closer to the car i realize the lack of a rear spoiler(i'm thinking, ok no big deal, maybe they didn't like it and took it off...thinking very optomistically at this point). I then notice the cheap looking wheels and as i get even closer the lack of an SE badge. As i stop right next to it i look in the window at the automatic transmission and cringe. just as i'm about to turn around an leave a small happy looking japanese man walks out the door and yells hello at me. i respond with "how much?". he wait until he gets over by me and tells me it's a 95 240sx with 118k miles for $4,500 he also openly admits it was involved in a minor fender bender and he had a new hood and front bumper isntalled as well as fresh paint. He offers to start it up and i said sure. after he does he motions for me to get in as he keeps telling me about it(at this point i also realize it needs a new muffler badly, not that it would matters since it would soon be replaced with n1 duals anyway...). So i told him i'd think about it and he gave me a business card.
 The search continues...

awww crap. damn them auto transmission!!! well the base model isn't so bad. it just has really ugly stock rims, and that it lacks a front lip and has softer shocks, and lacks the rear wing. and only has 4 lug patterns. but ill tell you this. its alot easier to look for brake upgrades for that car, and the rims are probrably easier to find and steal becasue they're 4 lugs. not that i steal wheels. heh but damn that auto.

the limited slip only comes in the SE as a option. and that option must include abs. which is not a bad thing either. but to find a manuel SE with a LSD and ABS is extremely hard.

so would one with ABS definitley have an LSD or does that only work the other way around? because i saw an ad in the paper for a 95 SE w/ abs for $5,500....too bad it's an automatic too tho... just curious

Hey shadowz...I feel your pain...I can't find a nice, clean, low mileage, 5spd 240sx either. Everytime I find a nice low mileage one, it's always an auto. And everytime I find a 5spd, it either has A LOT of miles on it..or they sold it already.
I wish you luck on your search

ahhhhh!
i found one! 95 SE (w/ anti-lock and lsd), red, 5sp, forgot how many miles...well here just look for yourself...http://www.cars.com/search/used/cc/s...=null&cid=null
it's 109 miles away though...that's not the problem...problem is it's $6500 and even if i could talk them down to $6000, i don't even have that much, i only have about $4000 right now. i can't afford to finance it and pay car insurance.

hmmm i also found an '89 for $1000 with a "dent in rear", that's all it says...i might call just for the hell of it...friend of mine does body work/painting, maybe if it isn't too big of a dent, i could drop an SR i guess.....i'd much rather have an S14 though...
i dunno what to do...i might be able to get that s14 and pay it off by spring(not drive it til then...) i probly wouldn't drive it much in the winter anyway...ah!
