Hey guys I'm new to this so go easy on me lol
this guy with a 1989 240sx hatchback wants to trade me for my motorcycle... But his ride has frontend damage... It was crashed at 15mph...
Anyways I just wanna get your opinion on it. I'll try to post pics if the car asap
Here's some more info on the car... Oh and my bike is valued at like $2000

1989 240sx hb
7mgte engine swap (mkiii turbo supra) dynoed at 300whp
Grey primer
Straight body... Except for the frontend damage lol
Recaro replicas
Sound system
Clean interior uncracked dash
Eibach coilovers all around
Tenzo r 17" rims
Has ugly side skirts, rear bumper, and tail lights
Water, oil, boost, mph, and tach gauges

the only thing I'm worried about is this frontend damage... To me it looks like nothing structural is damaged... Lmk what you think about it...how much do u think it would cost to fix... Etc.

I'll post the best pics I can, thx guys.

do you really want a beat-up, ugly as f*&k, 22 year old car?? if you are into that kinda thing then go for it!

pandaroo · 07-08-2011, 01:03 PM

7mgte swap lol. at least its unique...

jontron5000 · 07-08-2011, 01:05 PM

whoa, mph AND tach gauges? Trade him right now!

hahah, just kidding.

I'm pretty sure you are doing fine w/ your bike and without a car, or else you would have just gotten a car in the first place. So I don't think you really want his POS 240. Your bike is probably worth more than his 240 at this point

Interesting swap....

.........and that's about it.

Good luck surviving a crash with those seats.

i would pay 100 tops

daniel_wads · 07-08-2011, 05:25 PM

Yeah I think ima steer away from this deal... Just sounds like to much work to fix... Plus after thinking about it I really don't want that damn 7m engine in there...

Haha ok guys thx for your opinion!

dsastr_clan · 07-08-2011, 05:29 PM

maybe if he throws some money on top

daniel_wads · 07-08-2011, 05:41 PM

Lol yeah I think that would be more of a fair trade.

Actually I have a guy who wants to trade me for his ca18det powered 240 with 5 lug conversion, single piece drive shaft, stripped interior, stock suspension, and welded diff. so I think ima go with this one instead...

THe only problem being is that 2 days after I test drove it the car got impounded BC the dude didn't have his license lol >_<
Anyways its coming out of impound in like 15 days
