i got mine about 8 years ago after my 87 dodge (that's right dodge) lancer died on me. the 240 was the only car i could afford at the time.

Damn Ramos, you been rockin that 240 for a long time.

I put out a WTB ad and somebody responded. I drove an hour to see it. I can remember exactly how it looked the first time I laid eyes on it.

looked everywhere for an s14 all i found were rebuilt titles for $5,000+... then randomly i raw a black s14 a block away from my house. walked up to it and was a SE i was thinking sweet looked inside it was 5 speed.

so i rang the door bell asked if it was for sale and got lucky he asked his daughter ( his daughter is the first and only owner at the time) she said ya. i paid $2600 for a s14 SE 5speed clean title and from the first owner with 96,000 miles on it. also was bone stock and got a free limp biscut cd i found in the car lol

oh i also got the new car sticker they paid $26,000 for it LOL

My first car was a 1989 Jetta or "the JETT" as i liked to call it but one night went around a turn way to fast totaled it then bought a 1984 300zx which was the sweetest car ever made...in 1984 but when i saw my first drifting video online sold the 300 for a 240 hatch and have been driving that for about a year and a half

i was at a car meet and heard some guys saying wrong things about the 240 so i corrected them.. the guy asked where my car was i said i didnt have one.. he said he had two of them and would sell for 1000 dollars.. a short time later i bought it almost 5 years ago now. coming up on anniversary in a bit.

also i bought it the night before the first falken drift show off here in MD at Fed Ex field.

well lets see here i was talkn to a friend who works for an insurance company and he told me about a 95 240sx 5spd, sunroof, 1 owner car that needed a front fender and corner light, but the insurance company totalled it out so i ask him what they were askn 4 it and he said give him 2k and he would get it for me, 2 days later i was pickn it up @ his house and started to buy things that day. now she's a totally different color, with a face lift, new shoes, and a sexy *** mini-skirt!!! all done by me except the sr swap. so i think ill be holding onto her for a while, shes a keeper! now its been 10 months since we first met

Well, I didn't know much about cars back when I saw the *cough* 200sx, I wasn't into cars. My friend Francis drove it ever since my sophmore year in highschool and I always loved his car, I told him "if you ever sell that thing, sell it to me!" and during the summer after graduation it's been mine.

i first got into 240's thanks to jordan, and his pimpness. then for 9 months leading up to my 16th birthday, i looked online on forums and browsed for sale ads. i couldnt decide between 13 and 14, and i had actually found a 13 for 1000 that was in iffy shape acording to the pictures. i drove an hour and a half to go look at it, and pick it up, but it had so much rust, and i had 2600, so i passed on that. a week after looking at that one, i found a s14, with a bunch of electronic goodies in it, for 5000. the guy then changed the price to 4k, and then again to 3.5k. i emailed the guy, and told him that he wouldnt be able to sell it for over 3k, so he dropped it again. then i emailed him again, and told him to keep the electronics, and i would give him 2600, and he said that he would wait and see. then he got back in touch with me, and said sure on 2.6, so i went to pick it up, (it was over 5 hours away.) and when i got there, i gave him 2.5k, and he was like, wtf? where is the other hundred? and i was like, dude, i said 2.5k... and hes like no...? and i had the 100 in my pocket. haha.

Can I get an Amen? AMEN!!!! The man does not lie, except for the fact that the 87-89 is a little cooler
It's a little off topic but that was my first car. It was the biggest heap of ****, MAJOR frame damage. It cost me $200, and it started my love affair with Nissans. If it werent for that car I wouldnt have ever gotten my 240.

parents knew i really wanted a 240 back when i was 15-16. we opened another account up and saved like 3gs to buy one. once we got the money we spent like 5 months looking for one. came home one day from school and a bone stock white coupe was sitinig in my drive way, exactly what i wanted. dad found it at some dealership outside of shreveport. pretty dope. one of the happiest days of my life. hahaha.
