So this is where we’re at. Half a million miles (rounded up), fried piston rings, blowing smoke, won’t pass smog, but hey, who cares, Bring A Trailer will STILL LIST IT and it’ll STILL spark a bidding war. The S13 market is reaching peak insanity with this one, but nobody can lie, the thing has some sweet patina.

The Nissan 240SX is a relatively simple car, which makes it all the more baffling that people can’t seem to keep them running. The KA engine is cheap, naturally aspirated, four cylinders; there’s nothing high-strung about it. And yet, time after time, we find rollers that could easily be complete cars, priced as if they are. These owners need to do better.
