Why did you buy your 240sx?

[96SEChick]

I love everything about my car. &nbsp;I originally started w/ the looks, then I fell in love w/ the torque-iness (I previously drove a 1992 Olds 88 &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> ), and then the handling once I got used to her. &nbsp;I love the rarity and the fact that I don't have to be the taxi-cab anymore (although I would love to take a few more friends for a drive in her sometimes).

[boosteds14]

[wa-fu]

rwd, 5-speed, Nissan, large 4-cylinder, low, with a long front and short back. &nbsp;Classic sport coupe style. &nbsp;And rare enough so that I still get excited when I see another one on the road. &nbsp;
Now if only I had something for that trashed-out, red neck, glass pack rap, beer can emiting, dip stained Ford F-150 that was messin with me yesterday!

[AceInHole]

no one else got their car to pick up chicks???
i mean... curb-humping is the sure-fire way to pick up chicks.... and what better car to go curb-humping in?

[SR20Fastback]

Wow, what reason wouldnt you use as an excuse to buy one! I had to say all of them...I love the rarity..when I see people on the road with modded 240s I go crazy. The chicks TOTALLY dig the car, RWD is the most fun out of any drive type. WAYYY better suspension than my 92 prelude. I LOVE THIS CAR!

[Broadwayblues]

RWD and the handling. That's it in a nutshell. I love this car more and more everyday. I was obsessed with my RX-7 but I am loving the 240SX just as much now.

[Kreator]

Heh, initially i was looking for a 200sx se-r but the car is abit small and got nothing special to look at... Then i sorta stumbled across a pic of a 97 240sx... the idea of buying a 200sx kinda evaporated right that second <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> So i guess looks, but i love everything in my car.

[Jeff240sx]

Did I get shafted? &nbsp;Why do I have a backseat, and there is a poll for no back seat?

[SimpleS14]

I got mine best it was a good deal and it's a nice car. &nbsp;But at that time I knew very little about what car I was about to buy.

[Gankaz]

actually choose it mainly cause of 6 speed, n rear wheel drive. i know theres alot of other cars which is 6 speed man n rear wheel drive but, from the list i had this is the only 1. (from my options). n i read all the brochures n stuff, n website, n stuff, n i just got sucked in.....dunno......hehe, n i like coupes hehee.....n.........*shrugs* &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

[SimpleS14]

lucky you....I would trade my 240SX for a 200SX (S-15).

But I guess the closet I can every come to owning one is a front end conversion and engine/tranny swap. &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

[BlackFox]

RWD and torque..... looks sweet too <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> you get use to torque and over steer when you drive a diesel mercedes and a rwd 4 runner...... fwd is just too weird

No back seat? I have a back seat, if you can call it that &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
D.D.- I'll make them sick even if they are sober....... drift this &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

[guidot]

I love the fact that I almost never see another S14 in my travels. &nbsp;It makes me feel I have something special! &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

untill we meet up and drive around the pike, in which case we've almost got twins <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[guidot]

Yea just need some sportlines or prokit and we'll be close...
Someday, oh yes, she will be mine!

[Arcane]

well, my reason is not there...i bought this car because i couldn't afford a 3z at the time...but the chick reason is the closet...

[Bbandit]

everything on that poll is my answer.. hehe

a friend of mine (owned a 92 civic lx) once said, "you sold your integra? get a 5th generation civic they re the best.. i've smoked a mustang cobra once with this tiny 1.5 liters sohc non vtec motor"

behehehe.. typical civic owner... no wonder we all stereotyped civic owners as a close minded moron

[DuffMan]

For me it was that combination, gasonline, burnt clutch, damp tweed, burnt out heater core smell that my car has that sold me.


Ah, I love that smell. &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[rotaryknight]

Actually I bought it because it had back seats. &nbsp;And I could fit more groceries than my FD and a set of golf clubs. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

[nrcooled]

My reason is not up there...My car was only $1500 bucks. &nbsp;Also I had my sister's s13 for almost 2yrs and fell in love w/ it but have to give it back to her. &nbsp;Then she decided to sell it and I gave her 1.5k then the 240 was all mine. &nbsp;I loved the handling the best though

[s14]

ye, the rarity has to do it for me, i have only seen 1 other s14 and it was riced out in illadelph, i see alot of s13's but when i see that rare modded s13's i go nuts, i looooove me a hatchback ( i wish i could afford one)




S14

[SSJ2Gohan]

So much made me want it. &nbsp;Only a couple in my area and mines the only one with work being done to it.

The looks are great. &nbsp;Sleek, stylish, and sexy.

Also 50/50 weight distro, rwd, and good gas mileage all sold me too.

[-E-]

I bought my 240 cuz I was in the market for a RWD car I liked the style and the fact that nobody got one around were I live and of course no room in the back so no one can ask me for rides <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[240sxtreme]

well.....I had a 91 escort (I'll admit it)....and I wanted something better....this left me a lot of options.

My fiance, girlfriend at the time, told me she would leave me if I bought a Honda. &nbsp;I didn't know about the 85-86 corolla, supra and 300z was too much, forget domestics, I had about 3500-5000 to spend, I saw an ad for a Nissan 240sx...looked nice. &nbsp;Nissan was on the approved list, so I went and looked. &nbsp;besides a few external scrapes, pushed in front fender...it looked so damn sexy...I test drove it, and bought it on the spot after a little negotiating...I had no idea it was such a great car! &nbsp;In fact, I had never heard about the 240sx before that day....

besides meeting my fiance.....that was the luckiest day of my life I believe. &nbsp;october 2000...don't remember the exact day though <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Chew Slice]

Well, I was actually looking for a pathfinder or a frontier, something along those lines and I came across a 240 in the paper. &nbsp;My brother was pushing me to get a sports car cause he said that I'd regret it later on. &nbsp;I was also looking for an automatic cause I thought it was too hard to drive stick. &nbsp;It was actually my mom who forced me to learn to drive standard and I'm glad she did cause i will never buy an auto in my life. &nbsp;Anyways......I decided to check it out so I went to see it and the owner was a total couger and the car looked even better. &nbsp;When I went to take it for a spin I couldnt even get the ting out of the driveway my standard skiils were so bad. &nbsp;I like it too much to let it sell to some other guy so I bought it. &nbsp;3 years later, I couldnt be happier with the thing, except for an accident i just got into, but thats gonna be fixed by next week so yeah. &nbsp;Just thought I'd share that little tidbit of info with you guys <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[SilviaDriver]

i only skimmed thru the post but am i the only one that bought it cuz i thought i can pick up chicks with it?..i yet to have picked up any chicks <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> ..only thing i got was from my aunts saying "hey ur car is nice, i never seen it before" oh well ill grab some babes sometime soon haha nah i got it cuz of RWD and it looks so damn sexy in the driveway.

[wheres_da_cheese]

I actually got the idea to buy my 240 from a friend who drove a 99 Integra Type-R. &nbsp;He told me "I wish that i got a Nissan 240sx, its such a better car" &nbsp;something to that extent. &nbsp;So, i bought one and now im saving up to do the sr20 swap. &nbsp;I couldnt be happier with my car, the looks, the performance, the potential, _RWD_, everything. &nbsp;The 240 just plain rawks.
