1989 Nissan 240SX review from North America
"A sport car with 250000 miles. Nissan did it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light turned on. I fixed it for $150.
The fuel pump died. Fixed with a refurbished part for $370.
General comments?
When I bought this car with 244000 miles, I thought first I made a big mistake.
But the car has been extremely reliable for such mileage. I have had it for a year and half now and I am still very satisfied.
Otherwise, the performance of the car is really amazing.
The car does not leak any fluid.
The 2.4L engine is still in a good condition except the timing chain, which is going to give up very soon. A shame I'm asked around $1000 to change it. If it had been more affordable, I would have fixed that for sure...
