We had almost given up finding an unmolested one that some 17 year old had not yet gotten his hands on and finally did (bought from a 40 year old 2nd owner this past week while visiting my parents in Phoenix, AZ)!!

our 1st 240sx (still almost 100% stock -- even the exhaust!!!) <-- only the radio and speakers are aftermarket on this car!

5spd of course... 1995 SE

mileage on it is decent too!

and the interior is stock (no ricer cut down shifter or lighted shifter knob here!)

and here are some underside pics just for fun (those in rust belt will appreciate this)

and more beauty shots after getting the front windows tinted:

We specifically wanted a 95 so there wouldn't be any emissions testing to worry about since 95 and older is exempt. We preferred an SE as well. We also wanted a clean (stock, no rust, no accidents, normal title) one. And we wanted stick manual 5spd.

Most of what we were looking at had welded diff, mismatched body panels, dented body panels, rust or other 'mods' we did not want. And then there was sometimes a still stock car that unfortunately had a salvage or rebuilt title going for a premium price that we just felt wasn't worth it given the title status.

There were a few over the years that we would have wanted but we were too late... either they were sold and the ad wasn't deleted or we were farther down the line of people with an appt. to see it and it would be sold before we got there (as often happens with nice clean examples).

This time the timing was right and we were 1st in line (he had 11 people behind us if we didn't want it so we didn't hesitate this time to take it for ourselves!)
