I'm not sure if this is the right forum so move it if you have to. Anyway, I was looking around for a new car and I saw a manual 1990 240sx with 135,000 miles for $1200. I was looking online so I didn't see a picture of it, but I called earlier today and the guy said that the engine was good but the body was in bad shape. He didn't really say what about it though and how bad it was. Im gonna go look at it friday because I don't have school, and I was wondering what I should look for. Also, they have an automatic with more miles for $1950, so either the body is in really bad condition or both the engine and the body are bad.

 

check it out and see how bad the damage is, thats not such a bad price if its easily repairable

 

however if there is extensive frame damage and it looks completely rusted out like a southern spitting can then stay far away... Bodies in decent shape are harder to come by than good engines....

 

and dont forget u can typically run a price down farther.

 

Can someone run a carfax for me?

Bad body damage with a 135,000 mile SOHC I wouldn't offer more than $900.00. Body damage usually means that the engine has been dogged as well.
