thinking of buying a 91 240sx.. wat should i look at?
#16
That 240 needs some work, I can already tell. First off, the clearcoat is fading. Paint isn't cheap. Knock some cash off of the price. She's riding on steelies with teardrop hubs. Knock some more cash off. How is the interior? Faded? Cracked? Missing altogether? How is the car mechanically? Have you test driven it? 145k miles, though low by comparison for its age, is still kinda high. Do the headlights work? Do they make noise going up or down? Has it been wrecked? Any records of maintenance? Anything visibly wrong under the hood? Cracked vacuum lines? Half-assed repairs? How is the suspension? Worn bushings? Worn struts? How are the tires? Will the owner let you do a compression check? Does the A/C work?
You see where I'm going here.
240s are known for a few things
1- Rust
2- Electrical issues
3- Simple, yet time consuming motor repairs
4- Worn suspension/bushings, namely the TC rods and rear subframe bushings
5- People who don't know crap about cars doing half *** repairs before you guy it.
Good luck mang.

Exactly. How many 16yr+ cars do you know of that are worth $3k? I think the 240 market has gotten ridiculous lately. At $3k he would be paying twice as much as I did for my 'vert (which is newer, has less miles, no faded paint, etc), and you guys have seen pics of it.
