BaT Auction: 1990 Nissan 240SX 5-Speed at No Reserve

This 1990 Nissan 240SX reportedly remained with the family of its original owner in Ohio before being recently acquired by the seller. Now showing 74k miles, the car is powered by a 2.4L KA24E inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and is finished in red over a gray cloth interior. The seller replaced the coolant reservoir and had the vehicle detailed in preparation for the sale. This S13 hatchback is now being offered by the seller at no reserve with the removed coolant reservoir, partial maintenance receipts, a build sheet punchcard, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title.

The exterior is finished in Cherry Red Pearl (AH3) and features retractable headlights, a removable pop-up sunroof, a power antenna, a dual-outlet exhaust, and a rear spoiler. The seller notes a crack in the windshield, dents around the roof, and other paint blemishes as shown in the gallery below. No accidents or other damage is listed on the Carfax report.

The factory 15″ wheels wear Bridgestone Turanza QL10 tires. The 240SX came equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, front MacPherson struts, and Nissan’s multi-link independent rear suspension system.

The interior is trimmed in gray cloth with a matching glove box lid, door panels, and carpeting. The A/C system reportedly remains setup for R12 refrigerant, and additional equipment includes manually-adjustable seats, passive shoulder restraints, power windows, power mirrors, and a factory cassette radio.

Behind the steering wheel sits an instrument cluster with a 115-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer flanked by an engine temperature gauge and a fuel level gauge. The odometer shows 74k miles, only a handful of which were added by the seller.

The 2.4L KA24E SOHC inline-four was factory-rated at 140 horsepower at 5,600-rpm and sends power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The seller replaced the coolant reservoir, though the removed item is included in the sale. An oil change was completed approximately 1k miles ago in 2018.

According to the seller, the car was flat-towed behind an RV by the original owner, and a tow wiring harness is tucked behind the front air dam. Leaks are noted from the muffler, and additional underbody photos are available in the gallery below.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and displays history in Ohio from its first update in December 1996 through its most recent entry in January 2019. A walk-around and interior tour video is presented below.
