Description:

If you've been looking for a stock 240SX SE, this is your unicorn. I've owned this two-owner car since 1999, and have kept it meticulously maintained. Touch the gas and it jumps. It breaks my heart to sell this car. . It's been my daily driver, carport kept, and gently driven. Everything works, except the rear window defroster. A/C blows cold for the summertime. Since rebuilding the cylinder head in 2010, the engine runs like new, no leaks, no smoke, no burning oil, always starts and purrs like a kitten. Struts are only three years old for a smooth ride. Upholstery is all original and in tact. No rips or stains. Overall, the interior is in great condition for the year. The automatic transmission can slip (in D only) when engine is completely cold, but otherwise shifts smoothly through the gears.
The engine light is on with code P1445 - evap canister purge control valve. This is a common issue with the evaporative control system, and is difficult to fix. Since it has no effect on the way the car runs, my mechanic told me (about 10 years ago) that 'the pain ain't worth the gain'. The ECU also recently started showing P0400 - EGR valve. Just haven't had time to fix it.
Rear bumper cover was cracked in 2006 when the car was bumped from behind at a red light.

Used
“Ok, here's all the bad: The engine light is on: Error codes from the ECU: P1445 and P0400. Body shows a few small dings and scratches (see photos). Front end pulls slightly to the right, and vibrates at exactly 60 MPH. Transmission can slip (in D only) when engine is completely cold. Fuel gauge needle only goes up to 1/2 full. Very small leak in power steering rack. Rear bumper cover has a crack on one side. Wheels are not damaged, but are definitely losing their luster.”
