Making a tough decision to part ways with my bone-stock 1997 240SX SE 5spd. I'm the second owner and have kept it garaged since acquiring it, 3 years ago. The car has only 75,700 miles on the odometer. Clean title and clean carfax. I've only put about 6000 miles on it since I bought it. Originally I had wanted a daily driver with some moderate street mods, but the more i drove this car, the more i hesitated to modify it at all. I constantly get flagged down by people wanting to talk about the car, and telling me how amazing it is to see one unmodified, and in such great condition. The only reason I'm considering selling it now is that it doesn't fit my family's lifestyle. I'm actually putting more miles on my 240Z these days, so we clearly don't need TWO 2-seaters. Looking to get into a Datsun 510 Wagon project instead, so we can road-trip in our project car as a family.
Since owning this car I've replaced all smog equipment including catalytic converter. Car passed smog in California with flying colors in 2016 and then again just a few months ago in Washington. Car has never been tracked. Never been drifted. Never lowered. Fenders never rolled. Basically the only mods are the alarm system/keyless entry, the stereo head unit, a stubby aftermarket antenna, and a pair of LED license plate bulbs. Original owner was an older lady and she clearly kept up on the maintenance schedule.
Pros:
Stupid-low mileage. Runs like a sewing machine and drives like it's still new.
New tires in June of 2016 with only 6000 miles on them.
Smogged and registered.
All smog equipment was replaced 2.5 years ago.
Rear struts replaced 2 years ago.
Zero rust on the body and frame. Underside of the car is pristine.
Perfect compression on all 4 cylinders
Upholstery is flawless. no tears or stains
History of receipts and paperwork
Car has been loved and it shows
Cons:
Tiny spot of surface rust on the underside of the hood and a small spot inside the sunroof.
Sunroof trim is loose from UV exposure. Previous owner put a strip of duct tape on the rim of the sunroof to hold the trim in place.
Spot of rust inside sunroof indicates there was a problem with leaks in the past. I have garaged the car so i've never experienced it myself.
Weatherstrip around quarter-windows looks a bit dry.
Right side tail light gasket leaks
Door hinge bushings on driver's side are worn. New hinges included with sale.
A few cracks in the dash (see pics)
Cruise control and airbag are non-op.
Extras:
Also included with sale:
New brake rotors and pads, still in box
New drivers side door hinges
