Why did you buy your 240sx? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

96SEChick · 04-10-2002, 01:54 PM

I love everything about my car.  I originally started w/ the looks, then I fell in love w/ the torque-iness (I previously drove a 1992 Olds 88  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> ), and then the handling once I got used to her.  I love the rarity and the fact that I don't have to be the taxi-cab anymore (although I would love to take a few more friends for a drive in her sometimes).

wa-fu · 04-10-2002, 05:26 PM

rwd, 5-speed, Nissan, large 4-cylinder, low, with a long front and short back.  Classic sport coupe style.  And rare enough so that I still get excited when I see another one on the road.  
Now if only I had something for that trashed-out, red neck, glass pack rap, beer can emiting, dip stained Ford F-150 that was messin with me yesterday!

*AceInHole* · 04-10-2002, 06:35 PM

no one else got their car to pick up chicks???
i mean... curb-humping is the sure-fire way to pick up chicks.... and what better car to go curb-humping in?

SR20Fastback · 04-10-2002, 11:08 PM

Wow, what reason wouldnt you use as an excuse to buy one! I had to say all of them...I love the rarity..when I see people on the road with modded 240s I go crazy. The chicks TOTALLY dig the car, RWD is the most fun out of any drive type. WAYYY better suspension than my 92 prelude. I LOVE THIS CAR!

Broadwayblues · 04-14-2002, 04:44 PM

RWD and the handling. That's it in a nutshell. I love this car more and more everyday. I was obsessed with my RX-7 but I am loving the 240SX just as much now.

Kreator · 04-14-2002, 09:33 PM

Heh, initially i was looking for a 200sx se-r but the car is abit small and got nothing special to look at... Then i sorta stumbled across a pic of a 97 240sx... the idea of buying a 200sx kinda evaporated right that second <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Did I get shafted?  Why do I have a backseat, and there is a poll for no back seat?

SimpleS14 · 04-15-2002, 06:52 AM

I got mine best it was a good deal and it's a nice car.  But at that time I knew very little about what car I was about to buy.

Gankaz · 04-15-2002, 07:37 AM

actually choose it mainly cause of 6 speed, n rear wheel drive. i know theres alot of other cars which is 6 speed man n rear wheel drive but, from the list i had this is the only 1. (from my options). n i read all the brochures n stuff, n website, n stuff, n i just got sucked in.....dunno......hehe, n i like coupes hehee.....n.........*shrugs*  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

SimpleS14 · 04-15-2002, 08:39 AM

lucky you....I would trade my 240SX for a 200SX (S-15).

But I guess the closet I can every come to owning one is a front end conversion and engine/tranny swap.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Arcane · 05-06-2002, 10:32 PM

well, my reason is not there...i bought this car because i couldn't afford a 3z at the time...but the chick reason is the closet...

Bbandit · 05-10-2002, 05:20 PM

everything on that poll is my answer.. hehe

a friend of mine (owned a 92 civic lx) once said, "you sold your integra? get a 5th generation civic they re the best.. i've smoked a mustang cobra once with this tiny 1.5 liters sohc non vtec motor"

behehehe.. typical civic owner... no wonder we all stereotyped civic owners as a close minded moron

DuffMan · 05-12-2002, 02:17 AM

For me it was that combination, gasonline, burnt clutch, damp tweed, burnt out heater core smell that my car has that sold me.

Ah, I love that smell.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

rotaryknight · 05-17-2002, 03:44 PM

Actually I bought it because it had back seats.  And I could fit more groceries than my FD and a set of golf clubs. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

nrcooled · 07-07-2002, 02:41 PM

My reason is not up there...My car was only $1500 bucks.  Also I had my sister's s13 for almost 2yrs and fell in love w/ it but have to give it back to her.  Then she decided to sell it and I gave her 1.5k then the 240 was all mine.  I loved the handling the best though

s14 · 09-02-2002, 06:12 PM

ye, the rarity has to do it for me, i have only seen 1 other s14 and it was riced out in illadelph, i see alot of s13's but when i see that rare modded s13's i go nuts, i looooove me a hatchback ( i wish i could afford one)

S14

SSJ2Gohan · 09-07-2002, 07:52 PM

So much made me want it.  Only a couple in my area and mines the only one with work being done to it.

The looks are great.  Sleek, stylish, and sexy.

Also 50/50 weight distro, rwd, and good gas mileage all sold me too.

-E- · 10-03-2002, 05:04 PM

I bought my 240 cuz I was in the market for a RWD car I liked the style and the fact that nobody got one around were I live and of course no room in the back so no one can ask me for rides <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

240sxtreme · 10-03-2002, 05:31 PM

well.....I had a 91 escort (I'll admit it)....and I wanted something better....this left me a lot of options.

My fiance, girlfriend at the time, told me she would leave me if I bought a Honda.  I didn't know about the 85-86 corolla, supra and 300z was too much, forget domestics, I had about 3500-5000 to spend, I saw an ad for a Nissan 240sx...looked nice.  Nissan was on the approved list, so I went and looked.  besides a few external scrapes, pushed in front fender...it looked so damn sexy...I test drove it, and bought it on the spot after a little negotiating...I had no idea it was such a great car!  In fact, I had never heard about the 240sx before that day....

besides meeting my fiance.....that was the luckiest day of my life I believe.  october 2000...don't remember the exact day though <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Chew Slice · 10-03-2002, 06:05 PM

Well, I was actually looking for a pathfinder or a frontier, something along those lines and I came across a 240 in the paper.  My brother was pushing me to get a sports car cause he said that I'd regret it later on.  I was also looking for an automatic cause I thought it was too hard to drive stick.  It was actually my mom who forced me to learn to drive standard and I'm glad she did cause i will never buy an auto in my life.  Anyways......I decided to check it out so I went to see it and the owner was a total couger and the car looked even better.  When I went to take it for a spin I couldnt even get the ting out of the driveway my standard skiils were so bad.  I like it too much to let it sell to some other guy so I bought it.  3 years later, I couldnt be happier with the thing, except for an accident i just got into, but thats gonna be fixed by next week so yeah.  Just thought I'd share that little tidbit of info with you guys <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

SilviaDriver · 10-04-2002, 03:58 AM

i only skimmed thru the post but am i the only one that bought it cuz i thought i can pick up chicks with it?..i yet to have picked up any chicks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> ..only thing i got was from my aunts saying "hey ur car is nice, i never seen it before" oh well ill grab some babes sometime soon haha nah i got it cuz of RWD and it looks so damn sexy in the driveway.

wheres_da_cheese · 10-04-2002, 03:29 PM

I actually got the idea to buy my 240 from a friend who drove a 99 Integra Type-R.  He told me "I wish that i got a Nissan 240sx, its such a better car"  something to that extent.  So, i bought one and now im saving up to do the sr20 swap.  I couldnt be happier with my car, the looks, the performance, the potential, _RWD_, everything.  The 240 just plain rawks.

My fiance, girlfriend at the time, told me she would leave me if I bought a Honda.  I didn't know about the 85-86 corolla, supra and 300z was too much, forget domestics, I had about 3500-5000 to spend, I saw an ad for a Nissan 240sx...looked nice.  Nissan was on the approved list, so I went and looked.  besides a few external scrapes, pushed in front fender...it looked so damn sexy...I test drove it, and bought it on the spot after a little negotiating...I had no idea it was such a great car!  In fact, I had never heard about the 240sx before that day.... besides meeting my fiance.....that was the luckiest day of my life I believe.  october 2000...don't remember the exact day though <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
