    Not bad for a first car! They usually go for about 8-9k with higher KM than 151 000. Options are pretty good too.

    It will be good for learning how to drive a standard too (if you didnt already know)

    Give him a call and go for a test drive and tell us what you think.

    You gotta get a Silvia conversion if you get a 240SX though. GOTTA!
    I know you don't smoke weed. I know this. But I'm gonna git you high today. 'cause it's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got shit to do!

    Does it have AWS? My friend had that exact car. I hated the thing. Handled so sharply at high speeds that it was scary. Clutch was really stiff and only went in a couple inches, so it was really awkward to drive. Rear seat is useless. I believe it'd have the KA24DE engine in it. I say save up and wait till an S14 with an SR20DE comes along.

    sounds, Like a pretty good deal to me. the engine will definately give you enough time till you can save your cashola and get and SR20DET - 205 HP

    If I were you i'd go with a car that didnt have so many kms. There is practically no point in putting money into a car thats far past its prime. Sure it COULD run all the way into 250,000 kms, but thats still only about 5 years of driving, and all the mods you put in in that time would go to waste.

    Youre 17 right?
    At your age insurance is going to be insanely high no matter which car you insure.. to the extent that the difference between a minivan and your 240sx is going to be a small percentage.

    Or you can try a different angle
    You can say that if you get a 4 door, you can carry more people = bad, males have been proven to become complete idiots and feel like they have to show they have cajones and therefore do life-threatening things when there are 3 other guys in the cars with them.

    With the 240 you realistically are going to only carry 1 other passenger eggin you on/bitching at ya.

    Depends on what kind of stuff your mom reacts to..
    you can also say you can get in more trouble with 3 other girls in the same car, if that will get a reaction out of her.

    Other than that, shes right.. sports car = more insurance.
    so gotta think hard and start up the spinmaster!

    ahaa yeah shes like Sports cars are so small and crammed up you can't fit no one.
    point A) i don't want lots of people in my car.
    i don't want it to weigh down, and more people in car = more roudy we get.
    hahaha yep. right now for van i pay 80 dllarsa month joint account with my dad.

    dude my friend had 2 240 sx's, and in winter those things are HELL! even going from mckenzie to southcentre was such a big hastle, especially with the anderson ramp off of deerfoot. but you can also look at it on the good side, it's kinda fun to be sideways going down anderson!
