My freind is going to be selling his 240sx soon and offered it to me. Its a 91 or 92( i cant really remember wich) it has 168k miles( maybe less ill have to check). It runs really good and has a strong motor and tranny, ive road in it a few times and its a really good car. The interior is in good shape and so is the outside no rust or damage to the body. Hes done some modes to it but not a lot just intake, exhuast(3 inch all the way back no cats), spark plug wires( 10 guage nology wires), and headers. He installed a stereo system i dont have a lot of details on it but it won 3rd place in a contest with 128 db's. The price is a little high 3500 or 4000 with all the stereo stuff( amps, speaker boxs) kelly blue book says its worth 2750 but he needs to pay off the loan he got to buy the car. I think he might sell it to me a little cheaper since i am his freind. So what do you think should i go for this or is it a bad deal? Sorrow has already told me not to, but i dont know.

ive been thinking about getting that or a AE86. just the four seats appeal to me since im a family man. they are great cars. and people are starting to get back into them. just get the price a little lower (homie discount) and I think it would be well worth it

That's a pretty good deal. I want a 240sx, but I'm going to put an SR20det in it...I've seen the performance of those cars and will want one as a daily driver since my FD will be a weekend runner.

my mom doesnt think its a good deal. She has a direct affect on my dads decision. I think its a good deal and ive looked at the prices on everything on it and it will end up cheaper to buy it this way. Damn parents and their excuses

get your dad drunk before ur mom talks to him and it prolly wont be a problem getting the 240sx. dont u think? if that doesnt work, try and work payments out w/ ur friend to buy the car. like 300 a month or something?

payments sound good i could probably do that but one more problem has came up now my brother wants it. He probably wont be able to get it so as soon as that gets cleared up it will all be fine.
