Specs: 1993 240SX Convertible Automatic w/ 150,000mi (estimate. Will get exact Mileage soon) Black exterior w/ black top.
About the car:
It looks like it was in a fender bender previous to my owning it. I had a couple friends in the business say there was no frame damage, but I've never had it professionally inspected. Both front fenders have dents in them. There is also slight damage to the radiator support. The original headlamp motor on the driver side was bent up. I attempted to replace it, but had a lot of trouble lining up the new headlight assembly on the busted up radiator support. I have it in there and it works, but its ziptied. I couldn't get the bolts to line everything up right.
There is also a dent in the rear 1/4 panel that looks like you could probably pop out with very little effort.There doesn't appear to be a lot of rust on the chasis, but there is some on the strip above the front windshield.
The top has a 5-6 inch long hole in the roof above the driver's side. This was sewn together and didn't leak, but we locked the key in the car, so we had to re-open it. It could probably be patched up, if you didn't want to replace the top and didn't care if it wasn't "perfect".
No stereo, since they used the hole to open the door and get in the car (previous owner's problem)
Mechanically: Its got issues. I don't know if the battery isn't making a great connection to the starter but when you turn the key and it just clicks. After 3-4 times it turns over. The car always turns over though. I've driven it like 5,000 miles or so since I got it and it hasn't let me down once. The engine feels sluggish. I haven't compression checked it, but I know that its not 100%.
The A/C works great, as with the power steering, and all the other accessories. ALL Electric windows still work, as does the convertible top. Car has no oil leaks as far as I've been able to see. I found a small transmission fluid leak, but it was just a hose. I tightened everything down and haven't seen it leak again.
The bushings are VERY worn out on the front of the car. The wheel shakes a bit at 45, and when applying the brakes lightly, the suspension will shake a bit while making a clacking sound. I've had this looked at, and was told it just needs some of the bushings replaced and it would be alright.
Interior is intact, but warped from the heat. Its just an average 13 year old interior.
The paint on the doors, rear quarters, trunk, rear is actually in pretty good shape. Looks to be the original. The front half of the car is spray painted and isn't good.
The car will have some cheap 80's tristars on it instead of the factory nissan wheels. Also, the front seats are getting moved into my other car.

PRICE: OBO. I want the thing gone, but to be honest, if I can't get at least $500 out of it, I'm just going to keep it because that's barely worth getting rid of it for.
As for a trade: Something worth equal value that I could use. I'll give you an idea:
- Custom ECU & convertor Harness for a 98 T25 KA-T (hopefully from a company that could reflash it)
- Set of Wheels and tires for a 91-94 4 lug coupe. I'll even put the factory wheels on the Vert if we could work out a trade for a decent set of wheels.
- Suspension, Body/Misc S13/S14 goodies (S14 Leather, LSD's, Aftermarket parts, etc. Anything I might put to good use)
- Xbox 360 or PS3 (Looking to get these at some point for my new LCD)
Got something else for trade? Offer it up! I have other cars and stuff for trade too. (98' KA-T, 99 Civic Ex, 04 Seadoo 3D, 02 Buell Blast) <-- Too many things.
