you can probably pickup a decent condition S13 89-90 for that amount.

Tension rods should be checked, steering tie rod boots should be checked, gauges should be working (especially if you get an HUD equipped model), as well as if the car will drive on highway past 4000rpm (a common problem). Then there's the usual - make sure stuff works, no leaks, etc.

That's all I can think of for S13's. Try a search - there's been a few threads on "what to look for" when purchasing a 240sx

Good advice. Look around AutoTrader, eBay motors, ect. for a good deal.
