And it's so pointless, when Americans forget anyway after 5 minutes. Some ignorant Americans here, think this video is literally from 1995. These came out in JDM in late 1993 as Silvia S14 and USA in spring 1994. Really should've been called a 1994 model. They do it, because of "shopping seasons" and fiscal years. 1995 fiscal year started in October 1994 and ended in September 1995, which equals 1995 model year. However, some automakers' USA marketers cheat by many months and call some cars 2022 models as of last month (Jan 2021). No car sold before July-September should be next year's model. It's so dumb.

Crazy how in the early to late 2000s these cars were considered your basic transportation. I’ve seen fair condition first gens that went for $1500 all day long on Craigslist . The appeal these cars had was they fit pretty much anybodies budget especially high school and college students who needed something affordable and easy to maintain. Parts were easy and cheap to get and aftermarket support was strong with one coupled with it being rwd making it a blast to drive for a cheap price. Crazy how nowadays you’d have to shell out 7k for one thats rusty with high miles or beat to hell and people fighting over to buy it. Back in late 2015 I ran across a completely stock 1997 240sx with all the features I wanted which was the 5 speed manual low miles 95k and all the power options for the year. Dealership was asking 20k and I thought it was outrageous then but now I realized that was a steal for a relatively rare example of an unmolested and clean 240sx that hasn’t been stolen, modded, or destroyed. The car sold within a week of the ad being up. It’s like the old Chevy c10 pickups you could’ve bought in the late 90s to mid 2000s for as cheap as $300 back than now people ask 10k or more in fairly ok condition. It sucks because now if you want to get your hands on a car that has the attributes that many enthusiasts want you’d have to save up a considerable amount to be able to afford a car you saw as a kid and wanted.

Business women were the people who bought them new--which meant they were still in excellent condition for second buyers.

Yea the rice boys got there hands on them, pulled the KA24 out and put in that POS SR20 and drifted them, wrecked them and sent them to the junk yard. Knowing that this car was only made from 89-98 .... So what is left is left. I still have my 98 240sx and its in pretty mint condition with 100k miles on.

Nice car. It's so sad (to me) that RWD, 2 door, sport coupes are basically non-existent today (other than the too-big, too-heavy pony cars).

very underrated car during it's time, if it had a bit more power it would of been a top seller. Though I have a feeling that 4 cyl was just right and a blast to drive. Sports car don't need to be scary fast to be fun, just need to handle and brake well with enough pep to keep it moving.

Underrated? Im.not sure. It never performed well compared to its competitors. They put the KA24DE in this car in the US because turbo cars were expensive to jmsure.

There was a time that just about every manufacturer had at least one sports car or sporty coupe in their line up. Too bad those days are long gone and nearly all car companies only seem to focus now on crossovers and SUVs.

I wish cars were still this simple. And it still looks good. It’s everything I’d want today with the exception of a V-8. And maybe room for a double-DIN stereo. One ECM just for the engine, not 10 different modules to fail.

@JosephHalder3 жыл бұрын
Comically popular. I bought my 1995 5spd in 2004 for $3,300. It's pretty much the standard for "drift" cars, and drift popularity has made them incredibly rare. I think they made like 20,000 of them in 1995, and less for each following year. Many of them have been totaled, rusted out, or torn up with modifications. A "stock" one in good condition nowdays is likely worth a LOT of money.
