is this a good deal?
good title
good stock harness
a motor with rod knock and a motor that he was told was good.
we would be going thru the motors and getting the best looking one to freshen up.
friends budget is $2300ish
i dont want to join a 240 forum seeing how this is for my friend but i thought yall may have some insight.

thanks for any input.
no he wont get a supra because he has already worked on mine a bunch.haha

idk id go like 250 since it looks like it needs paint...id check for rust also....

$250 is low, hell he could get $500 just for having a scrap yard haul it off, don't insult the guy...

Depends on the interior and what it looks like under the car, but it looks like a good buy to me.

Poo according to the ad its a shell so under the hood will be.....empty lol. It comes with 3 engines though. Id say good buy, just on the fact that you could sell both the engines and get your money and some back.

o i missed the part it came with 3 engines than id pay 5 for it all day....

Exactly, even if they're junk slap anything you want into it...

thanks for the input.

the interior is stripped except front seats and dash but i think with a little work he can come in under budget and have a DD.
it is set up for drift so the rear is welded but we can find another one easy.
he says the suspension is stiff but he doesnt know what kind it is because thats how he bought it for.

the paint is fine if he paints the hood blue and just rocks American colors. lol

Is the body straight? Is the suspension sound? Is a lot of shit hacked?

Stripped interior kinda kills it for me, interior is NEVER cheap to replace.

This

Or a huge pain in the rear end, if he's gonna daily it he might wanna look for another car he could strip an interior out of and haul the rest off to the junk yard. Because a daily without creature comforts sucks.

not really anything hacked but it has been sitting for a while and has a few wires in the harness someone messed with. (A big NO sigh for me)
i need all new tires because it was a drift car.
both fenders have been replace but could use some better fitting.
the motor that is good is for an s14 so idk if the harness matches.

i will talk with my friend an see if he is up for the project or if he wants to keep looking for a fun DD.

The way the drift kids are going the 240 's are going to get expensive as hell. Good luck to your buddy. Check out Zilvia they have good prices on cars that are in florida or in the south .

I don't think the prices on them are going up, drifting trend is on a slump, they're at their highest prices if they didn't reach them already. Although it is amazing what a junk 240 goes for just cuz of the name.

take a good look at the front of the rear wheel wells right above the rear suspension crossmember, these cars have a tendancy of rusting there, it will compromise the rear suspension when it does. if there is rust there it is near impossible to properly fix it. it will effect how the car drives, and how safe it is.
