It is rather surprising how many are available considering the production numbers.

Though, at the same time there are 3 near me for sale one is a reasonably priced private sale and the other 2 are shamefully priced dealer sales (nearly double what the private party is asking).

Typically I expand my search quite a bit to look for cars since I live in the woods but surprisingly the 3 near me are also the only 3 I've been able to find within 200 miles of me... so I guess I should consider myself lucky.

I'm looking at replacing one of my 240s with a relatively rare 240sx convertible (only ~8000 made between the US and Japan) those seem to be much harder to find though.

Gas prices don't bother me much, I have a relatively short commute to work and this vehicle will mainly only be used in the winter.

Good to know to look for cracks in the plastic, I've heard that the one in the hood is the most common to get cracked.

Any common mechanical problems beyond the oil burning?
