I am currently looking at buying a blue 95 se 240sx with a s13 sr20 red top swap. The car is located in North Augusta, SC. I've read through the faq about what to look for in problems in general but wanted to know if anyone else had any ideas or any suggestions relating to checking the car out. Does anyone possibly know of this guy or could refer me if they know anything about the car or the owner? The main problem I see is that the car has 180k on the chassis and the fact that it has a swap is a little scary to me just because I will be using this car to drive approx. 80-90 miles during the week every other semester while I am in college. Do you guys think or know that just a basic swapped sr20 can be reliable enough for me to be driving it that much? The motor was apparently installed profesionally by "Augusta Customs" in augusta, GA. I plan on getting the car looked at by a mechanic, hopefully one that might know alot about 240s in the area around augusta, ga or aiken, sc and test driving it and looking at it myself. Does anyone know of a mechanic or someone very knowledgable in the augusta, ga or aiken, sc area that I could take this car to to get checked out. I would obviously pay to get it checked etc... PLEASE SUBMIT ANY ADVICE YOU MIGHT HAVE. I might have to make my decision on this car soon. If you need any other info on the car please request or email me at rhennin@clemson.edu. Thanks alot.

Dude, I thought a stock SR gets mid 20s in highway MPG which isnt that bad.

*edit* now that i think about it its not really that great

I wouldn't get it, don't know how hard the previous owner beat on the car, how well the swap was done
