Would you buy a new 240 if it came out?
 
Say for the sake of argument, it came out and it was everything you wanted and expected. It was a great looking car, had good HP, nice 1.8lt or 2.0t engines, performed well, etc etc.

Would you buy one?

Could you buy one?

I'm really curious to see where the community of current 240 owners stand.

LongGrain 09-26-2008 04:05 PM

i'll stick with my old one.

but i'm not going to lie, i couldnt afford one if i wanted to.

Fonix36 09-26-2008 04:16 PM

i would love to buy one and have the old and the new but the money it would never happen

nismo tuned s14 09-26-2008 04:16 PM

Definitely. I'd wait until the second or third year it was out so Nissan can take care of all the kinks. :bigok:

SlideWell 09-26-2008 04:25 PM

id only buy it if it was a jdm car ;)

Rnz520 09-26-2008 04:57 PM

yea but I would wait until the second year

thefro526 09-26-2008 05:04 PM

Probably, as long as there's a way to turn off ABS, Traction Control and stability control. And it has to have at least a VLSD stock.

shinhed 09-26-2008 05:11 PM

No. I've kinda moved on although, I still love my current 240's too much to part with.

Ben G 09-26-2008 06:54 PM

if i had the money i dont see why not i would keep the current one though

Future240 09-26-2008 07:19 PM

I cant afford the old ones let alone a new one. Sigh.... college brokeness

i just prefer to buy a car that isnt washed down like the 240sx's were here.

werwuryoantenaz 09-26-2008 09:54 PM

i mean if it looks good...has good Hp...good stock mods...then why not...
well also depends on the price tag...if its gonna be around 20-25k maybe...

VROOOM 09-26-2008 10:38 PM

if it was faster and handled better than my MS3 than i would buy one.

What he said.

luisgonz 09-27-2008 04:41 AM

I can but 2 40s any where. WHat give's. You mean a s13 or s14 chassis here in the states you mean.

40daws 09-27-2008 06:17 AM

Need to add a CATEGORY: Would not buy because I could not afford,but would complain about the lack of aftermarket support as the reason why.

SimpleS14 09-27-2008 09:48 AM

I could buy it, but I don't know if I would.

The G37 coupe looks too nice...so I would be compelled to get that instead.

aNskY 09-27-2008 10:18 AM

i would probably buy one for a DD, then mod it and retire the s13 after the warranty is up.

turtl631 09-27-2008 01:29 PM

It's hard to say. The market is really missing a basic, fun RWD car. Everything is either a vert, too quirky (RX-8 with rotary, weird styling), too big and heavy, etc. I don't see a new 240 weighing less than the S14 did though, especially at a reasonable pricepoint. Best I would hope for would be a ~3000 lb. car with typical current Nissan styling and okay power, but nothing too crazy to avoid stepping on 370Z toes. If it used a decent engine that could be upgraded easily and safely though, that woudl be fine. I don't see it happening though with manufacturers trying to raise fleet MPG and moving away from RWD cars. Plus, what motor would Nissan use? A RWD QR25? bleh

I'd rather see a small, light Z car with like a VQ30 or VQ25.

allntrlundrgrnd 09-27-2008 05:06 PM

only if its a coupe :D

What no love for hatches...? I would probably own one as long as it's not some dumb ass design and stayed RWD

cxlo8331 09-27-2008 05:50 PM

well it was everything i wanted... then yes.
i'd love to daily a new car.

Future240 09-27-2008 10:36 PM

Assuming I could afford it and it had everythin I wanted, hm it depends on my job, if I am makin 70-90k then no I would go for the big bro GTR. If I was rankin in at around 40-69, then yes I might be lookin that way for a car to have fun with.

But I dont think it would be a DD, would probably have a BMW for that

buku_points 09-28-2008 01:00 AM

nah...id stick my s14....god only knows when some rich idiot will end up with one and do something stupid like putting a s13 front on it......

The ROMAN 09-28-2008 09:52 PM

After a few years maybe. That adjustable crankshaft/compression ratio deal makes me think Ka-boom, though.

blueshark123 09-29-2008 10:31 AM

if it is 20-25k for that car ill buy it for sure thats really not that much compared to other cars out in the market range

chibo 09-29-2008 11:00 AM

Nope. Too many really, really nice cars available in the 10-20k range now. S2000, 350z, Evo, STi, E36 M3, E46 330i, C5 Corvette, LSX RX7's, RSX-S, MS3, MS Miata, etc.
