hey guys im about to start my 240 project and I prolly know u guys have herd this sooo many times but here goes

i saw a 1989 240sx hb for $3000obo for sale and a
1990 240sx coupe $2900 for sale

i really like the hatch ones but the downfall is it has 250K on it and the coupe have 180K on it i really want it but i dont know if it is gonna be worth it becasue i dont want it to crap out on me....HELLLLLLP....what one to choose........

ADDS
1989 NISSAN 240 sx, 2 dr hb, 250,000 km, champaign pearl (silver), aluminun wheels, standard transmission, cassette player, power everything. Serviced regularly. Looks great. Drives excellent. $3000. obo.

1990 NISSAN 240 SX, 180 kms, fully loaded, pw, pl, sunroof, CD, factory mags, tinted windows, Aircared.. $2,900.00 We pay cash for cars. www.capriceautocenter.com.

 

seems over priced. i'd ask for $2000 max.

 

anyone else have an opinion???

 

250,000km = 155,000mi on an 89Hatch. 3gs is a lot. I'd go hatch cuz I like it more but way overpriced. Any Rust?

But the cpe does have a sunroof!

 

no there is no rust on either car so yeh is 155 mi alot????

 

155 for that year is not that unreasonable for mileage, both seem overpriced and need to be talked down in my opinion... what i would do, is 1) they're both manual right? defently hands down just go for the manual if 1 is auto... 2) find out if 1 has rust, if it does... go for the other, you'll regret getting a rusted vehicle in the future, and finally if both are manual and have no rust, just get the one you either think looks better and would personally be more happy with, or whichever u can talk down in the price farther.

 

Not a lot of miles on the car, it is 16 yrs old. but a lot of money for the miles and year. Goodluck!!

 

i wouldnt pay more than $1700 for either of them....dont get ripped a new one.

 

take a look at them in person, pretend you're not FULLY convinced even if you are. act like you only "kinda" like the car, and then point out every single thing you can; make every little imperfection known to them out loud. TALK TO THEM ABOUT EVERY SCRATCH DENT AND BLEMISH. the more you talk it down the better chance you have of pulling the price down to the reasonable range ($1.5-2.0K). if they end up not going down to where it should be, then skip em, you can find a 240 another day.

 

Yea Darren337 is right S13's are all over the place. Just look for the right 1. Goodluck!

 

thanks guys for your help!!!

 

I bought a 92 240 Fastback 5-Spd. for only $900 .It started out as $2200 . Darren is right , hit on every imperfectioon you can find .
