Easy S14 Project: Buy This Nissan 240SX
Look at this thing. Yeah, it has some negatives, but take in the positive. It’s a 240SX. It’s complete. The body is straight. There’s no visible rust whatsoever. It’s a five lug SE and the owner has had it for four years without taking the stock wheels off, so you know he’s a responsible adult. It has a hair over 100k miles, and if you don’t like this one, head over to ccf.com/cars to find hundreds of other 240SX listings.
Yes, it’s an automatic. On the high end, you’re $2000 in parts and rough day in the driveway away from a manual. Yes, the paint is fried. But it looks like there’s no real bodywork to do, so you’re only a couple grand out from this thing shining like new.
He’s asking $8500, which is exceptionally reasonable. Offer $7k and haggle, and you might have a pristine (resprayed) S14 Zenki for just a bit over ten grand, with what is considered low mileage in the S chassis community. This is an excellent base for a very nice project, and I hope you shoot him a message.

Double Your Money With This DC2 Acura Integra GS-R
I like the Integra Type R. I like it a lot. Stitch welded chassis, obscene bright paint schemes, and decals that launched a decade of Autozone rice aisle sales. But I will never own one, and neither will you. The ITR market has exploded much like the Mk4 Supra and many other desirable 90s JDMs, and now, for most of us, save the oil barons and crypto bros, they’re out of reach, and they’re never coming back.
But, you can still get the next best thing, if you keep your ear to the rail that is ccf.com/cars, stay vigilant, and react quickly. The GS-R is the more common, less refined little brother to the ITR. No stitch welded chassis, no suede interior, but it still has the B18 and it’s ready to party. It’s also way cheaper than a Type R: while your average ITR on Bring A Trailer will pull over $40,000 and sometimes breach the six figure mark, GS-Rs tend to sell in the teens, even with mileage similar to the gem pictured in this article, which I recently found on Facebook Marketplace with an asking price of $6900.
Bright red, fat fives, 100% stock, no rust, and 156K on the clock. I’ve found two examples on Bring A Trailer with similar mileage, one selling for $13,750 and the other for $15,250, both within the past four months.
So what are you waiting for? If you’re in Ohio, empty your checking account and pick up this quintessential 1990s Honda hot hatch. Bet it on red and double your money.
