Convincing 240sx selling points...? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

s14turbosilvia · 03-17-2005, 05:52 PM

I'm trying to talk my girlfriend into buying a 240sx. Right now, she rocks a 97 cavi which is getting sorta outta date, for what it is. Plus it's an automagic and she really wants a 5speed again.

What can I use to convince my girl to buy a 240sx? S13 or S14, she just wants something mildly sporty and with a 5speed. Any really girly selling points?
Thank you.

Look up Nissan's original marketing ideas, the 240 was marketed to females.

tell her it was a chick car when it came out and still is [jk]

Tell her that if she gets the S13 hatch back she could put these on it and be supadorifto!

I used to own an SE-R, I would give almost anything to have it back, except for my coupe of course!
An SE-R might be a little more practical for her with winter driving in MI.

Newer than s13s and cheaper than s14s. 140hp(I think), less weight, VLSD stock, better gas mileage

makes no sense why you would sell a newer car for an older one.

in japan only gurls drive s14s. few guys drive it.

matlock · 03-17-2005, 09:30 PM

Tell her to talk to the Honda guys for some reason they think these thigns are Uber cool now, haha jk I loved my 240. I think if she needs convincing she just doesn't understand the beauty of the car. But for serious you should just show her some pictures of some really nice ones and then show her pictures of really riced out cavis and there you go.

theres always the S13 convertible.. =D

nistech · 03-18-2005, 01:25 AM

make her watch initial d n tell her she could drift like that if she buys a 240sx

Andrew Bohan · 03-18-2005, 01:49 AM

tell her if she really loved you she's buy one.

SimpleSexy180 · 03-18-2005, 02:01 AM

or just let her drive yours, so she can see how fun it is.

RiversideS13 · 03-18-2005, 02:00 AM

1. Just tell her to test drive a S14, she will like it
2. Tell her to match you
3. seriously dont make a girl get a car they dont like, they would trash it and you will waste another good 240sx

But if i were you , i would rather she get a sport seden or wagon so it would be easier for our life. Two small sports car is not too pratical at all.......

goodjuan · 03-18-2005, 03:43 AM

japan's best selling sports car of all time?

driftyour40 · 03-18-2005, 04:58 AM

Just tell her all the cool kids drive 240's, and shes not as cool as you J/P. I think the SE-R would be a better idea.
