Default Nissan 240sx 91 with 190K for 400 bucks...good deal?

Hey.

My coworker is offering to sell a nissan 240sx auto with 190K on it. for 400bucks.
I'm considering it. Just to have a beater car around.
I just don't want to incur more maintenance costs w/the car.
The only issues maybe a muffler issue.

What do you guys think?

If I were in Cali, I'd buy it. Assuming it is in a decent mechanical condition.

The only issues is that it tends to leak oil and has a loud muffler noise
That's about it.

I've ridden in the car because he's my co-worker and he sits right next to me =)

I'm going to think about it.

I already have a 92 honda civic boxy beater car..which I put hand me down HIDs on. for lighting
My SC400 will never see weekdays again if I get these two beater cars =)

Why was my post deleted?

400 seems like a good deal but I would get it checked out first.

That's sounds like a good deal. I need a beater like that. Let me know if you don't buy it, even though shipping will cost more than the car........LOL.

Default well

Keep in mind..that price is what he's offering to me.

I could buy it and turn around and sell it around to one of you..but it would be just slightly above..
and it could still be your signal car!

Let me know if you're interested.
