well i have been looking over a whole bunch of different cars, and i landed on a '98 240sx because of its lower price and good looks.

before i go and purchase one, are there any things i should look out for that go wrong in a 240?

oh, btw here are the pics (autotrader)





All stock, 1998 240sx, 43,000. $ 10,998 (negotiable)

 

whoa..Just a tip..really try to get the price at a even 10 grand or as close to 10 as possbile...esipically if its a auto. Dont know of any problems that S14s have so...

 

alright, thanks; and yeah it is an auto so i will defenitely try to negotiate it down to 10 and below. anybody know what i could do for about $ 2000 cash to upgrade the car when i get it?

 

You should do some good suspension upgrades..espically if ur goin for auto X. Get some coilovers..struts..sways..tie rods.

 

Nice car, try to bring it down. Good color

 

well if it is an automatic, can't i pay to swap the transmission out and get a manual? or would that be extremely expensive

also if i save up a bit more, i could put a sr20det in....

 

I'd be all over that, and a lot of people do the auto-->manual swap. I've heard its not that costly (like $500 I think), or if you plan on doing an engine swap, just wait till your ready to do that and switch everything up at once

Oh and welcome to the forums

 

if ur ganna do a engine swap just wait till u get that front clip and u got evrything u will need in there. Just get a new driveshaft and thats it. BAM lol

 

okay, thx for the help i am rather new here, you all seem like a nice buncha people


oh yes, and by this:
what do you mean by everything up at once?

 

sorry i meant everything at once..like the swap and the manual swap.

 

Usually if you get a front clip it will have pretty much everything you need to convert your car to manual

 

Had to *****
