Why is it so hard to find a 240SX for sale - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm sort of new to the 240SX/SIlvia fans, and i'm exited to get my hands on one. Are they rare or somthing? Why can't i find any with the stearing whell on the left side? Please help.

You were able to find Right Hand Drive ones in Florida?

The cars aren't so much rare, it is just that the owners are devoted to their cars and don't want to get rid of them. I know I wouldn't sell mine.

Dont complain, there is one and possibly two in the papers here in CO at any given time.

Im going to FL for vacation soon here and I might look for a s14 and drive it back to CO like I did with my s13 that I drove back from NJ <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Yeah, they're a bit hard to find if you have a specific one in mind. Ive been lookin for a while now.
I'm headin down to Georgia (from NJ) tomorrow to pick up mine. Its no fun being 240 deprived, but finally gettin my new one, woohoo. Oh its a '97 5spd black w/ leather BTW.

Nerfdude · 07-26-2002, 11:30 PM

after my lebaron got totalled, it took me like two weeks to find a 240 worth buying... i almost bought an '89 a couple days ago, but it was jsut too fucked up.

Dude that sucks but i can relate.  I started really looking for my 240 for about a little less than a year ago and it took me until four weeks ago to find mine.  Detroit sucks for our cars. We have plenty of mustangs, cameros, trans ams, and other shitty cars everywhere but you cant find a good 240 for the life of you out here.  I got lucky.  Good luck to you in finding yours.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
