Long story short, I need a car and I came across this '89 240SX Coupe. It's essentially the exact same one I have over in there (I'm in PR for those who don't know), and therefore it'd be convenient since I could have my brother send me parts since people here charge barbaric prices.
Right now it's not running, and when I went to see it, the engine wouldn't turn on. Supposedly, it had been turning on prior to today, but it's nothing I can testify to. Seems he was doing some work on it so it has some cut wires and he took out the A/C. The rear tires were blown out and rather screwed up as well. All in all, this guy obviously bought the car to just screw around with since it was in less-than-appealing conditions, and his '97 Maxima was in tip-top shape...
It has it's share of cosmetic issues, but as far as I could tell, the electric components work (minus the sunroof, which seems to be stuck).
And most importantly, when the engine did run, it wouldn't go past 1,000rpms. It would only stutter and stumble, sometimes even shut off. Idling and turning on were not an issue. He says it sounds like air is leaking from the intake before it reaches the manifold.
So... He wants $750 for the car, but is it really worth that much?
Here's some pics.
