That one is literally $1.5K... just buy it.

if you cant afford $1500 you cant afford s-chassis shit in general.

$1500 will get you a gutted molested shell where live.

North Jersey here, exactly what I had in mind. Fuck the tri-state area, everyone here thinks their rusty 200k+ mile piece of shit is made out of gold because it's a 90s Japanese car and it was in Gran Turismo or FnF.

I cant think of a worse area to try to get into the japscrap game. Its so hard to find clean cars around here.

People always say they don't want to buy modified cars.
If I buy a 240sx and then do the usual mods, coil overs, exhaust, and then turbo it, would I be able to sell it at all? What's the point in modifying a car if it ruins the value of it?

>>14950194
>and then turbo it
At that point. probably not. Unless you have receipts that say it was done professionally at a shop with no check engine codes or issues. Nobody wants to buy your hackjob, unless they're a masochist, or just dont care.

Coils/exhaust/wheels are not enough to turn someone away who has a clue about cars. Unless you want to tank your already awful resale value, stop there.

Unfortunately drift tax has turned the 240 into a scene car that in any condition is considered at the top of the food chain. It makes people believe that a shell alone with rusted out frame rails, rust rot strut towers and holes in the floor is worth like $3,000 because "drift tax" bro. Its at least nice to see its not just New York where this shit happens

>>14950272
Yeah man
Happens with all kinds of japanese cars in the new england area
Tbh you're better off just getting this shit imported from japan, for all the money it would cost you to get a clean running example. That goes for a lot 90s jap cars

>>14950194
Because people want to do the mods themselves and don't trust you to have done them correctly. The whole point of modifying a car is to make it exactly how you want it. The easiest way to do that is to start with a clean base.

>>14950295
Plus the 180/200 has a better engine than the 240.
