Vehicle Description
Clean 240SX convertible with all the options. Great-driving RWD
sports car. Everything works, drives great, never hit or wrecked,
clean CarFAX. Two owners from new. A sure-fire future collectable
that's red hot right now! We get a lot of guys who like the idea of
an old car but not the reality. A vintage MG looks like a lot of
fun (and it is!) but you need to be a hands-on owner to really make
the most of the experience. That's why we appreciate cars like this
1993 Nissan 240SX convertible-a fun car that certainly qualifies as
a collectable, but without the maintenance needs. You want a fun,
unusual summertime car that's always ready to go, there aren't many
better choices than a convertible made in Japan. Bulletproof
reliability combined with easy road manners make the 240SX a
winner. Besides, they didn't make many-when was the last time you
saw one? Bright red is certainly the right choice for a sporty,
low-slung convertible and the proportions are exactly right. The
look is undeniably 90s stylish, but it has aged well with clean
lines and a traditional wedge profile that echoes great sports cars
of the past. You'll note that this car wears original paint, which
means no surprises waiting underneath, and even the urethane bumper
ends are in very good condition with minimal cracking (virtually
impossible to avoid after 30 years). There's also a subtle gray
stripe that matches the interior and suggests that this one was a
'Limited Edition.' Either way, this is an easy car to like. The
gray cloth interior is a good choice for an open car-cooler than
leather and easy to maintain. It's actually in excellent condition
throughout, more proof that this car has led an easy life of summer
fun. Even the driver's seat bolsters are still firm and not worn
down from years of use. This car came only one way-loaded-which
means you get such niceties as cold A/C, power windows and locks,
cruise control, and a good-sounding AM/FM/cassette stereo. From
behind the wheel, the car feels surprisingly contemporary,
especially with those big, round gauges and low hoodline that gives
excellent visibility. The 71,330 miles on the odometer are an
accurate reading, and that adds up to only about 2500 miles a
year-nice! And in a fit of practicality, Nissan engineers added a
back seat that's actually usable for kids and adults for short
trips, so go ahead and have some fun. The fully lined convertible
top fits extremely well and seals up nicely, and stows neatly
underneath a semi-rigid boot. There's also a good-sized trunk,
making this a great candidate for your next road trip adventure.
The 240 in 240SX refers to the 2.4 liter DOHC inline-4 under the
hood that was a staple of the SX from the beginning. It's torquey
and reliable, with proven Japanese engineering so it's ready to go
anytime. The biggish four doesn't mind revving, although this is
more of a grand-touring convertible than a race track menace.
Either way, it never seems to put a foot wrong with its
rear-wheel-drive layout that makes it a bit of an anomaly among its
period competition. The 4-speed automatic shifts cleanly and is
always ready to serve up a quick downshift to get you into the fat
part of the power curve, and the all-independent suspension gives
this car superior ride and handling, even after 30 years. It's
really a lot of fun to drive. You can see just how clean it us
underneath, with excellent floors and we believe that's even the
original exhaust system, which has a nice 4-cylinder growl to it.
Factory alloy wheels are unmarked and carry 205/60/15 Michelin
radials of indeterminate age. These are unusual cars and you're
going to have trouble finding one in good condition-they were
either used up and thrown away or, more recently, turned into drift
cars thanks to their rear-wheel-drive handling. This handsome
Nissan offers a great combination of comfort, reliability, and
performance that's just right for someone who wants something a
little unusual but doesn't feel like dealing with old car
maintenance. Just get in and start having fun! Call today! Harwood
