Hi guys I just got my 1997 240SX SE yesterday. Drove it to Long Island from Westchester County. Got it for 10k even the car has only 44k on it and it's in mint condition so I'm pretty sure I got a good deal. Very happy about the way it drives kinda reminds me of my old 1st gen eclipse but much better in handling. I just gotta polish up on my stick shifting skills, I haven't touched one since 99 so it's going ok but not as fast as I hoped. I stalled the car 3 times today at traffic lights but nothing too serious. I drove alot today and going to go back out tonight for some more joyriding probably will hit the Ocean Pkwy. I should have pics of the car tomorrow, the color is weird it's this greenish/silver metallic anybody know the correct name of it??
Well I'll see ya guys around.

Hi it's me again this time with pictures of my car.
On the sidenote I had no idea that a 97 came with an lsd. How do I find out if my has it? It didn't come with a manual since I'm the 3rd owner of it.

damn now i feel i payed too much for my car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
I payed 11K for a '97 SE with 60K miles and a broken sunroof, which cost $400 to replace.... so say 11.5K and i'm the second owner.. Do you guys think the price was a bit high?
And f1seb, welcome to the forum <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Oh and btw... i might sound dumb, but judging by exhaust... aren't SE's coming with the 'shiny' muffler?

Well yeah I knew I was getting a great deal since I saw cars like a 95 240SE with about 70k on it go for $8995 dollars in the tri-state area. I was very surprised the guy wasn't charging more. The car runs perfectly I might do a brake job on it but that's normal for pads around that kind of mileage the moonroof all the windows work great the interrior has been very well taken care of even to my surprise I didn't think I could go wrong when I saw that car for the 1st time. I ran the vin numbers they all checked out nicely came out that the car accumulated the miles at about 10k a year so he wanted 10.5k but I asked him if he would let it go for 10 even and without hesitation he said yes, and in my head I thought damn should've said 9.5k. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> But since the owner was an older guy who looked early to mid 40s so the car didn't get beat on I think I can safely presume as such.
Now back to the picture where you asked what is that yellow car in the reflection that would be my friends 2001 S2000. That car is a beast by the way and he's thinking of supercharging it or turbo. Hasn't made up his mind yet but once he does that car is gonna be fast as hell whichever way he decides.
