Agreed. Stupid question. It's not like a 97-98 240SX is different than any other car, mileage and age decrease resale value, period. The only reason these cars are selling for anything is because of bandwagoneers like you who want one. A clean, low mileage 5spd SE shouldn't be worth any more than $4k based on the car itself, but some kid who jerks off to import magazines will gladly pay twice that. In five years when the next fad hits these things won't be worth a dime, just like any 20 yr old car will be. If you're buying one now to 'make sexy' in hopes of making your money back down the road, you're an idiot.
