My local dealer has this car. Apparently they had it in the lobby at the Tennessee factory. The car is all original and has never been sold. I drove it and it feels so tight and quiet compared to my '97 LE with 60K miles. The leather feels great. Unfortunately they are trying to get $22,000 for the car which is outrageaous, but the dealer said a couple of kids with rich parents have been looking at it. It is pearl white. Anybody interested?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

22g = WRX
22g = Down payment to motorx for a skyline
22g for a used unmodded 97 240sx = bitch slapped

It's not used.. It has never been sold.. Thats not that bad of a price for what it is..
Does it come with Manufacturer's warranty? Is it 5-speed?

yeah if its brand spankin new and never been used before then thats not too bad of a price...but of course thats the price they are askin for the car, not what they r gonna sell it for...my friend got a '98 240 back in '98 and they were askin for bout that much but he was like craaaazy and he eventually got it for like 17 or 18 grand...so u jus gotta talk them down in their price...but then again if they said that some kids with rich parents r gonna buy it then they aint gonna go down shiet for u cuz they know they will get the money they askin for

Look at it this way:
Cost to buy: 22,000
Worth of car 10 minutes after buy: 10,000
Money down the drain: 12,000
Would you buy it?

Man, I should have stopped by the factory and looked at that <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
That is an alot to ask, even for the miles. Not like your ever going to see this come around again.
I have a better idea. Look for another car, but wait for the right one. Mod it to your hearts content, then go looking for those kids with the rich parents and spank them at a stoplight.
You'll still save some cash for strippers (j/k) or whatever <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>
I wonder if the car gets a factory warranty or if it was even broekn in right.

If I had the $$$ to burn, I would consider this car. I like having a car that hardly anyone else has. If my brother gives me my digital camera back soon I will take a few pics. It might have been abused for those 3,000 miles but I bet they were on a track or course. I can't imagine people joy riding in a 240 when 300Z's are around.
And I did ask about the warranty and they said it was being sold as if it was a 2002 model - full warranty.
But you guys are right. I could put a brand new black top in my car, revamp the suspension, exhaust, and get NEW leather seats for that price. damn, I need to start playing the lottery!

I have a friend that bought a new SVT stang about 3 years ago w/ 5000 miles on it. It had a bunch of miles b/c it was a demo car. They drove it around to different shows to display the package features etc. that might be what they did..
