Potentially joining the 240 fam, need advice

[Psan]

Test driving a 1990 240sx manual on Sunday. What should I look for to help me decide to purchase or walk away. How bad is it that the speedo doesn't work? Thanks in advance

[Silviastunter]

Dont do it

[Psan]

How come, the speedo problem?

is it a digital cluster? if it is, they never work. walk away if-

1. you see a sun roof
2. the brown wire is cut
3. bent frame rails
4. rust

1.) It does have a manual sunroof - why is that bad? Prone to leaks?
2.) Where do I look for said brown wire & what is it for
3.) Best place to look for bent frame rails?
4.) "Has some minor rust" not sure extent

It’s a 240...walk away

[tuzzio]

1. Buy a 350z.
2. stop using the word fam.

Go with your gut feeling. Everything will work it’s way out in the end.

i think the bigger questions here are:

what are your technical capabilities?
what are your financial capabilities?
what are your goals for the car?

edit: just realized i bumped a several year old thread. go me
