Greetings... Wow, I was amazed to come across this forum. I never realized there was such a following for 240sxs here in Vegas. Sadly, I found out about it a little too late. My 240 just died on me a few weeks ago, and I have moved on to a SUV. (Needed the cargo room) I'm posting to see if any of you can help me figure out what to do with it?
I have a 95 240sx SE. It's an automatic, and thats where the main problem is. For the past few months, the car would not reverse. Somehow I was able to use it for a while, while I saved up money to buy a new car. Recently, I tried to start it, and when I placed it into drive, the engine shut off. I tried a few times, and the problem repeated. A few days later I tried it and I was able to drive agian. The reverse still did not work. I didn't want to take a chance so I just ended up buying a new car.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. How much would I be looking at if I wanted to replace the transmission? How much would it be worth to sell with and without the transmission fixed? I really don't expect much at all, so should I just donate it and get a tax write off?
By the way... it is not in the greatest shape. In addition to the transmission issue (truthfully, i'm not even sure if it's the transmission) there are some dents, problems with the door locks, windows, and the odometer broke at 104,000+.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
