Got my car today... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

bfrance · 09-22-2001, 11:23 PM

Picked it up this evening.  Black on black leather '97 se, 51,500 miles, all power 5speed w/sunroof.  Negotiated to 9800, which I thought was pretty good.

Man, after driving a honda for 5 years I forgot how nice torque is!!!!  

I'll get pics as soon as I can, but you'll have to excuse the vis-style front bumper the previous owner installed.  Any ideas where to get a stock bumper?

#### you. You got a GREAT deal on that car. i can't even pick up a 96' for that price.

Jay Wood · 09-23-2001, 02:19 AM

Sounds like a nice car. Hope that it brings you many good years of driving pleasure...

yeah, I got it for 800 below loan value at my bank.  I can't wait to start the mods...suspension and intake/exhaust first, then next summer, turbo!!!!

where was it located?

I envy you, dude. I WANT THAT CAR! Ok.... I'll keep my '91 for now. That's a really good deal!!!

bfrance · 09-23-2001, 10:27 AM

It was in Muskogee, Oklahoma on a Chevy/Cadillac lot.

s13grl:  Sorry, it's mine!!! lol...  I almost bought a '91 s13 until I found this.  I love the s13's, but couldn't pass this deal up, ya know?

Yeah, yeah, whatever <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>.

LOL, just kidding. I keep telling myself I've got good cams... plus I really didn't have that much money either. As a matter of fact, I paid nothing for my car-I traded my old car in for this one (even trade $1500.00) and my car's got like 70K on it. I'm happy. La la la la la I want a '97 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>.

96SEChick · 09-23-2001, 11:15 AM

Muskogee, Oklahoma?  Do you live in OK?  I'm in Tulsa.

Congrats on the car!  I bought my 96 SE 5-speed for $10900 in April because I couldn't afford a 97-98 (they were going for like $17000 when I was looking).  Can't wait to see pics!

bfrance · 09-23-2001, 04:49 PM

Lauren,

Nope, I'm in Springfield, Mo.  But, when I found the car I figured it would be worth the drive.  Guess I was right!!!

pics will be coming asap.

bfrance · 09-25-2001, 08:05 AM

If I ever am wanting to sell it, I'll let you know. But, I plan on keeping it for a long time! this is the car I've been wanting since I bought my civic new in '96, and I finally have one.

I'd love to get together sometime w/all the midwest 240 people.  We run a club/site here in southwest, mo for all import owners if you guys wanna check it out:  www.417imports.com

Wow that's crazy, that makes 3 of us in Tulsa, OK.  I've only seen a few other 95-98 240's here..but then again I hadn't been looking that much until I got mine.

I've got a 98 SE.

SpoiledBoi · 09-25-2001, 05:06 PM

Thats cool..well Im still young, still spoiled...i have some time to wait, ENJOY!

96SEChick · 09-25-2001, 07:50 PM

Krunko--I didn't know you were in Tulsa.  Totally cool!  Do you have any other friends w/ 240's?  Maybe we can start up a club up here.
