damn thats pretty clean. not sure if it warrents the price, but i might be wrong. if you plan on a sr, then i guess you get the tranny too, if you get a clip. its rele clean, and low miles. i guess its mainly up to you.

ehhhh its really clean but $2400 seems too high, at least for me.
I mean it has OG fancover wheels not even the alloys. Not Like that matters hehe. If you got the cash go for it though. Looks real nice

well, when you buy an sr20, you basically get either a motor set, or a front clip. front clips include basically everything on the front half of a car, cept the fenders, bumper or hood.

hmmm, actually the Ca18 is what was put into 180sx's and red tops and black tops are pretty much the same thing except the ECU on the black top is a bit different and the black tops are a bit newer.

I don't think you are understanding the value of the 240sx these days. He probably won't drop his price. I bought mine 3 years ago for $2700. From the looks of it $2400 is a fair price, especially since s14's run between $3500-$5500 depending on the condition. 97-98's still run as high as $10,000 I wouldn't push your luck if I were you....


Also you guy's need to drop the retarded conversation on 180's with whatever engine, no one else cares, and I'll close the thread if it continues to be retarded.
