What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Nissan 240SX

"Will Not Sell"

"1996 240 SX bought new; now with 85k miles. Never a problem, started up in every type of weather. Perfect size for just me and one rider. Great cruiser, hope to one day fix her up with new coat of paint and some updates. Offers received from so many people but I am not selling. She made it through 2 attempts of theft and hit 5 different times while parked. Still looks good cleaned up and runs well. A Keeper!"

"Most dependable fun to drive car ever."

"Fun to drive, good on gas and dependable beyond any expectation. I have owned this car for 19 years, and had only one part replaced that was not maintenance scheduled. A small AC tubing connection had a tiny crack in the fitting connection. That was 17 years ago. I have driven the car up and down the west coast, over 2000 miles each trip, over a half dozen times and never a single issue of any kind. It was even snowing in the Siskiyou mountains and on the Grape Vine on one drive, and the car handled like a champ. I love this car."
