Just another reason to not buy a ford... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Idk...Cameron · 12-08-2009, 04:48 PM

So im currently 18 and want a 240 ( Sil40=

) but no job+no money= a sh**ty ass free ford so until I find either of these im stuck.

So anyway I was about to go to a basketball game about 20 minutes ago and i try to start my car. Thats right you guessed it it doesn't start. It just sits there flickers lights and sputters while the alarm goes off and the only way I can get it to stop is to disconnect the battery. Now it sits in the rain with a broken alarm system, a leak in the trunk where it floods in the heavy rain and FWD.

I need a 240.

Brian · 12-08-2009, 04:49 PM

bummer.

Hopefully one day soon you can get the car that you want.

VQMaxFan · 12-08-2009, 04:50 PM

dont act like a 20 year old nissan is gonna run any better, my 240 has nearly left me stranded SEVERAL times lol and its 14 years old....

Pacman · 12-08-2009, 04:57 PM

Sounds like you need a Civic or Corrolla, not a shit-bucket these cars are becoming from day to day. A 20-year-old car is gonna solve all lifes issues!!!

i would say something but probably get pinked for it

Xbroke_kidX · 12-08-2009, 05:30 PM

Built Ford tough!

BustedS13 · 12-08-2009, 05:40 PM

oh no, the car your parents graciously gave you is malfunctioning? it'll probably be an hour or two before your parents get a tow truck to take it to a shop so your parents can pay to have it fixed so you can continue going places that aren't a job! how awful for you!
i hope you're at least practicing drifting in your free car that gets free maintenance and has free gas in the tank. p.s. allowance is sweet!

oh, and about ford, let me tell you, they suck suck suck! for instance, one time in the cold, my F150 was idling funny when i started it! and i was like, UH, HELLO, FIX OR REPAIR DAILY AM I RIGHT?
and then this other time, my 40 year old Galaxie, you won't believe this... i turned the key, and it DID NOT START! it's like, uh, HELLO!

sacco sideways · 12-08-2009, 05:55 PM

Give this kid a break fool, he never said his parents pay for everything nor did he even say he got it from his parents. That's just your assumption like how I assume your fucking pathetic for baging on a kid who is just venting about how he doesn't have a job or a reliable car. Grow up !

azndummie · 12-08-2009, 05:57 PM

All my cars have had minor problems, but my ford ranger lasted a long ass time. well over 200k miles and it was still strong. The only reason all of these 240's out there are shitboxes and run like shit is because most people abuse the fuck out of them, don't maintain them, and are too poor to do maintenance. That's when they start acting like shit.

IHasLongTorso · 12-08-2009, 06:00 PM

Ive been there bro. it sucks just keep looking for a joby and get the car you want.

where did i "bag" on him? i simply agreed that fords are junk, and was sympathetic to his plight

dert420sx · 12-08-2009, 06:08 PM

yet another example of how our beloved car is becoming the new civic. zomgmyfirstcarisjdmbro!

mine is a 95. 2009 - 1995 = 14 fucking years! even with my diligent maintenance of the car, it still died on me a few times on the freeway.
do you really think your life would be golden because you bought an econobox from at least a decade and a half ago?

SlideWell · 12-08-2009, 06:14 PM

screw a civic, get a camry, those fuckers just wont die!

240sxrb25 · 12-08-2009, 06:17 PM

i feel bad for ya, its sucks being given a car. oh, and 3 of my 4 240's have had leaks in the truck. either dried out taillight sealant, or previous damage on the quarters and the gas door wasnt sealed up again. we should chat later on about your terrible situation! i like talking to others about their lack of job and money.

I had a ford, i loved it, 2002 focus(sohc) great on gas, cheap to fix, and looked decent(lowered on some 17's) but sadly i wrecked into a tree doing 50mph, weird thing is the air bags didnt go off... hmmm....

Fixed

Anyway, do we even know what kind of Ford this is? Lots of older Fords are significantly more reliable than an S-chassis (which is above average to begin with).

Anyway, any benz with an OM616-617 diesel will run for seven figure mileage and take untold abuse. That doesn't necessarily mean you want one. Why do you want a 240 again, by the way?

**ThatGuy** · 12-08-2009, 07:25 PM

Hey Cameron, nobody fucking cares.

This is not your blog to whine about how "tough" your life is. Go be Automotively Emo somewhere else.
