Is this a good buy for a 1992 240 hatch?

[sepulchral]

black hatch power options, 150k miles 1992, body and int good condition

however tranny is f*ed up not sure wether a/t or 5speed though

guy wants $1000 FIRM should i take it?

[wootwoot]

i'd be more inclined to pick it up if it was a 5speed

[Phlip]

It'd be more worth it if it were 5-speed, in my opinion, but still seems a little high for a SOHC with a fucked tranny

[sepulchral]

1992 is a dohc..

[Ritz S14]

I paid 1000 for my 90 coupe with an dohc swap 5spd. It didn't run, but I fixed it myself not knowing what I problems I could have ran in. But if a shop other than myself were to fix it, it would probably cost $3-400.

You have to see what you are getting yourself into. IE.. how much would a tranny cost, or 5spd swap cost you..and after spending that much money is it still worth that much money vs. buying an s13 that isn't "broken".

look for chassis damage, i.e, front end, my friend just picked up a s14 auto for 1800, and jsut needed front end body parts... drives perfect.

1992 is a dohc..
Shit, my bad, 10 hour work days cause hallucination... I thought it said 1990

[kingsol]

i'd get it if it's a 5spd and if you're willing to do the work. for a new tranny and clutch it's like $200-$400, so you'd be getting a pretty good deal considering everything else was working properly

[sepulchral]

i'm thinking of doing something very original like an sr swap :D jk but im gunna hold it over the winter and collect parts


im gunna go check it out today and take pics

[sepulchral]

ok i checked it out, it does have a bad transmission its a 5speed

body is extremely clean, paint is faded some on rear bumper, i didnt notice ANY dings/body damage

trunk lid holes are rusted out but wing is still in place

carpet is stained alot and seats maybe have 1 or two tears in the cloth

you guys think ishould get it?

[nissantuner22]

it doesnt matter what we think. If you like the car, and YOU feel the price is right for the condition, buy it. Do what makes YOU happy.

[sepulchral]

well ive only owned 3 240sx's and they all didnt run i got them ass cheap but this car is a 1000 bucks, and it doesnt run but its a good base to start off of, just asking if you guys if you feel i would be getting a Good deal on it.

[nissantuner22]

i paid 1500 cash for a perfectly running, no oil leaking/burning, 93 stick coupe. so no, i dont think its a good price.

[BoroBoroS13]

Sounds like a good price to me. You can find a lot of trannies here cheap cause people dump em after SR20 swaps. I got a trannie for free from my friends shop that does swaps all the time. If it was me, I would jump on it cause I know I can fix that problem easy and it seems like a good buy. It is a dohc and 5 speed after all...

[Phlip]

5-speed trannies are easy to come by, you're right... I bought a 89 coupe, body/interior in good shape, it was an auto, I got my tranny for free and all my parts for the swap dirt cheap...

[wootwoot]

i'd tell him 1000 if he pays to get it towed to your house or 800 and you take care of it

[sepulchral]

wootwoot: i was thinking the same thing

anyone know if ka24e tranny fits ona ka24de?

Thank you!

[sepulchral]

nissantuner: thanks for your input thats what i mean, 1000 bucks is alot but the kbb value is like 2065$ running, and its hard as shit to find a clean non rusted 240 in virginia for cheap

i think ill take it.. im gunna go check it out tomorrow.

[drift freaq]

ok guys $1000 for a running 92 hatch is a very good deal even if the transmission is fried auto or 5 speed. Do not let people tell you its not worth it if its an auto.
My daily driver 92 Super Hicas car was purchased for $1000 with a blown torque converter. I swapped it to a 5 speed after fixing the the torque converter and driving it like that for a year. Ya I drove an auto becuase it was cheap cost me $100 to fix it. Its a 5 speed now so whatever. hahahhahhaha
buy the car at 1k you can't go wrong unless its got a toasted chassis.

[sepulchral]

this is 5spd

[sepulchral]

The guy won't budge below 1000, here's pics, what yall think

[kingsol]

if you can afford it... get it man. i still think it's a good deal if you do the work

[DRO916]

i'd get it

does it start up okay?

check around the motor for any oil deposits around the head and valve cover

make sure u have the time and money to fix it

[sepulchral]

god this thing isnt worth more than 800 this is a fuckin joke im gunna pressure this mofo

[zero.counter]

Good buy, just get it and replace the tranny if need be or swap the 5spd (assuming auto).
