Hello everyone. 1992 240 GL in pristine condition. LOVE THE CAR! I purchased her for $500 to keep miles off of my Infiniti G35 coupe, but enjoy driving her everyday. Great car!

Wow, five hundred dollars? I paid that much for a rusty '75 model with a ruined driver's seat. And it was barely running.

I was definitely lucky. :D

Sweet Deal....

Post up some pics?

How come everyone finds deals like that for a few hundred dollars and I can't seem to find that! Ditto on posting pics! Welcome.....

I just went out and took these. It is dirty right now. I took it fishing last week and used the hood as a table for my portable grill. :D

I was blown away by how excellent it is. The interior is near mint. I took it to Best Buy and had them install a new head unit and four new speakers. Sound is great and I can use my ipod. I do have a problem though. The cigarette lighter doesn't work. I went through all of the fuses and cleaned them up and replaced one that was shot but no luck. As I was going through them, I must have moved one to a spot where the corrosion was in the way of the contacts because it wouldn't start. :D I fixed the problem, but the fuses/fuse carriers seem to be extremely temperamental. Any ideas on the cigarette lighter? I would really like to use my GPS system in the little gem.

Also, I believe the horn doesn't work either.

NICE CAR!!!! How were you able to pick up such a clean car for 500 bucks!

It was a case of being in the right place at the right time. I purchased it from the original owner. Every receipt for all work done, never been in an accident, non-smoker, etc. Great deal.

No cigarette lighter and no horn? Wow, I guess it's not really pristine after all. ;)

Just kidding...it looks really nice. I've found cars for more money where the seller warns you to bring a trailer because the car can't be driven. :confused:

Holy cow, what a deal. how many miles? and BTW the wiring is not the 240s' strongest point. My kids biggest issue is their toys off the lighter. it starts with the ipod, then the GPS next the whole laptop for DVDs on trips and the inverter, then grows from there. After a while I just installed a (fused) home run to the battery and avoided the headaches.

Oh... and the sales tax and tags on their '92 240 was more than you paid for your whole car.

Reguardless of the little stupid stuff that doesn't work, you STOLE that car! Great find.:cool:

Well the horn does work after all. I guess the contact inside the horn/airbag is just a little loose. You just have to push a little harder and it works. The lighter stil doesn't work though and I really need to get it going.

It has roughly 160,000 on it and it runs like a top! No bad idle and great on gas.

Any pictures of this setup?

The real question is, when are you going to +t?

Add a turbo?

Yes...
+T is a turbo'd NA....

You can do it, but there is some work involved. Cost....will greatly vary, depeneding on what you pick for parts and how far you take it.

This is going to be a daily commuter/trip car for me. It is nice because I can get my soon to be wife, our dog and everything else we need for a nice road trip in the car and get great MPG. I have s/c three cars that I have owned to this point and am just leaving this 240 as a reliable daily driver. If it comes down to it at some point, I would just drop a v8 in it and start modding at that point. :D
