I sold my Honda last week. Uh,,,, it is so unconvience without a car in southern california! Damm.... I cannot go anywhere! I try to find a S13, but no luck at all! I looked on autotrader, recycler, craigslist, and I called most of the S13 for sale around the area, and all been sold! There is a guid sold his S13 within one day! Damm.... can't believe it!Everyone wants 240sx at this time! It easiest car for sale! I see more and more people jack the price up! Man, they are making moeny!

 

Yep yep and yep.

240's(espically in cali!)are totally popular and the price has shot up in the past 2 years

 

im trying to find an s14 in my area, but its hard as hell to find, prob because im picky, but i wanna be totaly happy with it

 

hell yeah man! everywhere i call... its sold! i got my s13 for $1900 and its not even the SE model

 

Im very picky when looking for a 240. The closest s14 for sale is in VA and the guy wants $7000 for a SE with ove 150k miles. Its been really difficult to find one this year. It seems like there was about 20 for sale last year, and hardly any now.

 

totally, I'm glad i got my 240 back in 2001 for about 1500, its the base model though, and now when i see my year and style with atleast 160k its like 3000....insanity...

 

jay my friend is selling a 97 for 8500 obo. pm me for details

 

Yea, its nearly impossible to find a good deal on a 240 now. Especially in Cali, even a run down 240 can run up to around 5k. I bought mine [96 SE (RIP)] in good condition for 5k before the whole drifting hype came around.

 

you know 240sx are popular when people with RX-7's and Hachi's want to trade their cars for a 240.

 

Jay maybe you are looking in the wrong places?

We know of plenty 240s for sale in the North East.

 

I sold my AE86 last year and have been searching for a base model S13 coupe. I've missed a couple due to lack of funds & weren't "perfect!" I guess I'm picky too. No worries though cuz I've seen a few lately that look awesome. I'm going to printout some business cards & see if the owners will be selling anytime soon.

Wish me luck!

 

I dont think that 240's in general are getting more popular. But I think when a person gets into drifting they want to know what a good car for drifting is and this is where the 240 pops up. So Drifting leads to 240's. (my theory) But then again, i liked 240's a year before i even knew what drifting was.

 

i guess i am looking in the wrong places, didn't know so many peple from import fanatix are on this board, i went to a meet once, with Carisma a while ago, it was pretty hot.

 

In my area they are rare too. Some places have more than others which leads people to think, "If there are plenty of 240's in my area and not his, he's probably not looking hard enough." <- Not always true. You just have to keep looking like i have been.

 

I got mine for 2800 in june of 03, with 108k on it. its a 1991 SE hatch in beautiful condition, and I could probably sell it now with 130k on it for more than I paid for it...

but I never will, I love my car
