1989 Nissan 240SX SX review from North America
"Fast, Reliable, Pretty... simply the best car I've ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought it knowing it was a fixer-upper for $1000.
Turned out one of the spark plug wires wasn't even attached.
It was fixed and it runs like a dream now.
Seat was broken when I got it. Got a new one for cheap.
Cost a total of $1700 with all repairs
Since initial repairs no problems
Paint is chipping.
General comments?
I absolutely love this car.
It has got a lot of miles on it right now, but I think it'll be good for another 30-40k at least. The car is seriously fast for a 4 cylinder and it turns on a dime. Definitely the most fun I've ever had driving a car. There is a backseat, but sitting there is certainly way to uncomfortable for an average sized adult, but its nice to have. I'd recommend this car to any student looking for a cheap, fun, and reliable car.
