Question about purchasing a 92 240SX?

240SX_89 · 12-27-2006, 10:42 AM

I found a 92 coupe for $900. It needs some body work and has some rust on the wing. He also says that the piston ring from the first cylinder might be worn-out. Was wondering how much would it cost to fix and would it be worth buying it and fixing or should I pass up on it.

Piston rings wouldn't cost much, the labor will. If you are replacing those, then might as well do the bearings, and pretty much rebuild the whole engine. Or buy a new engine. This should be about $200 for an engine, and 500+ for labor.
Body work will cost quite some money as well.
My advice is keep looking.

yea it really depends on how car savvy you are. If you can do some of the work, well then it might be an ok buy.
