1990 Nissan 240SX SX review from North America
"Dependable low-maintenance dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator died at about 190000 miles. The seats are showing wear and the dash has a crack in it.
General comments?
This is my second 240SX. I traded a '93 in for a 1998 Dodge Intrepid that blew it's engine at 78000 miles. These 240s are the most dependable car you can own. At 193000 miles I still drive this car 2 hours to the beach with no worry of it braking down. I still get 27 miles to the gallon and the car is basically maintenance free.
