Just bought 240sx ;) (update new pics)

This is my first RWD car. I previously owned a 92 mazda mx3. This car had a weiner-like 80hp. So definatly a big change in drive type and power.

Its shiny red with 90k on her, 5 speed, alloy wheels, sun roof, power everyhting and grey leather. Seats are a little worn

Mechaniclly the only thing that seems off to me is the steering wheel is loose? or are they just that quick? also theres a wobble at highway speeds and the wheel is turned ot the left going straight. Im calling alignmetn on htat one.

So my first thing is going to be 4 new tires and an alignment, anything esle yall suggest? oh yeah cost me 2950$!!

I have better pics but usb is at my apt till tommorow

Thanks, also if anyone can answer. Do you all agree with the fact that the seat suck in these cars? I mean even my mazda had seat that held me tightly in my seat. Wehn i was test driving her I was all over the place

2950 doesn't sound too bad with 92k miles. coulda bought a coupe with that tho ehehehe. the wobble could be the tires and it could be the alignment. the seats do suck on these cars, gives me back aches. Since you just bought her, change the fluids. Do a tuneup.

Helghast.....you have something against red cars?

KBB says its worth 3,300$ so I think I got a pretty good deal. Considering its been in the paper for 24 hours and shes recieved over 6 calls on it.

If these guys can run well into the 150+k area than I think less than 3 grand is a steal, my opinion...plus no offense be the notchback looks like an old stanza or somthing, not good IMHO

Red is great and all..but if you decide to change color later on..you have to paint everything..door jambs, engine bay, yada yada yada.

whatever..I have white..which is just as bad.

wish I found a black one.
