Just got my 240

I just picked up my s13 coupe today.Finally. I like it even better than I thought. I didn't realize the lack of back seats. I love it , makes me feel like i'm in a sports car. The only thing wrong is the steering wheel shakes between 55 and 65. Do you think it is the alignment or do the tires need to be balanced. Also when I first got in the headlights were up. I couldn't figure out how to get them down and finally I pushed the button on the left. Just wondering why that is there. I might have pics later tonight.

the button on your left to lift the lights are for when you want to change your lights without having to actually turning them on, and if the wheel shakes its most likly be your alignment, always realign any new bought car, thats what my dad tells me...any other question dont hesitate to ask

How mucha nd some info on it?

As chedder said...its most likely a alignment, but a few of my friends have had that problem and they balanced the tires correctly and it went away.

I payed 4000 for it. When I saw it on autotrader it said 3900 so I thought I could get it for around 3200. Well since it was in Florida and I live in Wisconsin I had my dad look at it and drive it for me.He lives in Florida. But when he looked at it the price said just reduced to 4500. So there goes getting it for 3200.We offered them 4000 and they took it. Then they tried adding some 600 service charge. I said I don't f%$# think so and got it for 4000. It has 82000 on it. All stock except for chrome 15"s and a six disc changer. I probably overpayed but it is the cleanest 93 ive seen.As for the alignment I thought it might just be the weights because I had that happen to my old probe.Ill probably get it aligned and I plan on putting my 18's on anyway.Hopefully sunday. I also have an extra fart can laying around i'm gonna throw on it til I get some extra cash.So i'm gonna wait till next week to take pics.Oh ya when I first turn it on once and a while it a belt squeals a little bit.For about 3 secs and stops. Is it the alternater belt?

i had the same problem with my s13 when i got it, it shakes at 55 and only gets worse when u go faster....i got my tires rebalanced and it was gone. i also have the same problem with my belt squealing for 3 seconds or so...it sounds like that typical old car squeal

Put some belt dressing on it. That doesnt work...tighten or lossen your belts.

4k sounds a little to much...but with only 82000 thats pretty damn nice.
