Default 1990 240SX 190K miles..fair condition 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?

I'd thoroughly check it out before buying it.. but for 400 bucks, I don't think you can beat the price!

Yeah, if it turns out to be a real piece I'm sure you could still sell it for $500. Worst case you're out $400.

Default hey

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 =)
