How old were you when you got your 240 how mych did you pay?

chickenmanq · 11-03-2001, 02:47 PM

20.  Just got it last Christmas in fact.  Already have 32,000 miles on it.  Couple of trips to Idaho and back.

96SEChick · 11-03-2001, 04:27 PM

24---I've only had it since April

FastNissan · 11-03-2001, 04:32 PM

18, I got it last september when my sentra was totalled. I have put 30,000mi on it.

11-03-2001, 04:34 PM

I am 21, I got my car about 6 or 7 weeks ago and I was 20 at the time.  It's a 98se with 55k miles on it and I payed $12,250 for it.  It's in wonderful condition, leather interior, and has about 3 years left on the warranty.

I'm 21 now and have had my car for nearly two years....you do the math (very tired)...oh and I paid just shy of $9,000 for it....86,000 miles...just hit 117,000.....yikes!

chickenmanq · 11-03-2001, 05:41 PM

Dang, I tell you cars are way overpriced in AZ.  I bought my truck in Idaho (my homestate) for 5,000 with 50,000 miles.  Had been in a front-end collision, but they had already fixed and it looks fine.  Doesn't have any quirks from the accident.  At least 32,000 miles of driving hasn't shown any.

S13Grl · 11-03-2001, 06:24 PM

I just got mine this July. I was 18. But I'm not 18 anymore *sniff*.

11-03-2001, 06:28 PM

The first 240SX I drove was my dad's automatic 1989 S13, which he got in 1989, I think. I started driving it when I was 17. I'm now 19 and I drive a 1998 S14, which my parents helped a whole lot in paying for. Got it about 3 months ago. I hella wanted the 97+ S14 and one day saw it for sale less than a mile from my home. ^_^ Is that fate or what? I almost settled for a 1998 Integra GS-R.  O_o

groundzero · 11-03-2001, 06:28 PM

I just got my S13 in June. It was my dad's friend who sold it to me... He had a 300ZX, so he was selling his 240 to me...Since my dad is a Mechanic, he told the guy that his engine was messed up, and the guy believed my dad...He sold it to me for 500.00

keepitmovin · 11-03-2001, 06:33 PM

burgy240 · 11-05-2001, 12:14 AM

I got my 95sxse in the summer of 97.  I bought it with 21K miles on it for 14,000.  It was the sunday drive for a big Heating and cooling tycoon in the carolinas.  He passed away and his wife was liquifing the assets.  They kept great care of it and it even had the clear plastic mats(the kind on the carpet of your grandmas hallway in her house...  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  ) over the stock floor mats.  I just started moding it last year.
