"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.

Just an update on the 240. Had a small leak in the radiator hose. Replaced all hose for a 20 bucks. The car now has 213000 miles on it. I also replaced two fuel injectors for around $200. The car just won't die. I would like to purchase a truck, but have told myself that I will buy it when the 240 finally goes. Who knows when that will be.

Car now has 229000 miles on it. It still blows ice cold air. I had to put a new radiator on because I cracked the top flange replacing the hoses. I also replaced the tie rod ends for about $50. I still drive to the beach without even thinking about it.
