1989 Nissan 240SX SE review from North America
"Good, low cost, and hard to mess up tuner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace a wheel hub after the bolts had stripped out. I also had to replace the front shocks. No engine problems ever, all problems this car had I made...
General comments?
Best car you can buy for under $3k. If you find one that looks nice buy it. It will be mechanically perfect... These cars will run forever! I regret selling this car. Plus these cars have many upgrades from Japan that make them very popular to modify. I like this car as much as my 2g moded Eclipse. 240SX SE's will kill any honda they pull up to. They corner better than any BMW or Porshe (better than my moded Eclipse...) that I have driven. This is not a fast car only a quick car... The car will top out somewhere near 115 mph. But it has power all the way there.
