Bargain Performance / Surpassing Reliability.

by onebeggar

Cons: Not for snowy/rainy places. Back seat is there to lower the insurance ONLY.

When I first saw the Nissan 240SX, I knew I had to have it.. I kept on pressuring my parents for the car for a long time, but my parents were against it for a while since it was expensive for a 12+ year old car.. However, I finally got my 240SX and I...

4 years ago my friend Chris decided to get a Volkswagen Squareback and I inherited his recently bruised '89 240sx. I had driven the car before and had fallen in love with it, so it hurt me to see the condition it was in as he left it in my driveway.
