Nissan Eric's newest addition - CarForum.net - Car Forums, Automotive News and Community

Just picked up this 97 200SX SE for $400, needs a fuel pump/filter changed. Tires are in ok shape, has some 15" American Racing rims, exterior isn't the best but hey. Interior was treated nicelyyyy.

Funny thing is it's the same year as my truck, and has the same color (coding matches)

I'll snap some more in a bit.

Looks to be in decent shape for 400 bucks.

Looks awesome for $400! I was considering one of these, but IIRC it was around $1600, the upper end of my price range... Glad I went with my truck, anyway.

When my dad said he found a decent looking 200sx I got excited, but I thought he meant 240sx, so I was rather disappointed that it wasn't a RWD sports car. But as an economic daily driver, it doesn't look too bad.

Simple RWD stick shift hoonmobile for $400? Hell yeah! I'd buy one right now.

Sorry to spoil you fun, but it's wrong wheel drive...

**Mike** · 02-12-2013, 10:22 PM

How do you figure?

Engine isn't sitting the right way to be RWD :P
