Default Should I get it? 89 240 hatch, runs.

Could get it for $300, front end is a little bent up, needs radiator runs, I need to go look @ it but what do you guys think?

Nissan newbie here.

well the sohc's are unreliable for the most part, but you might be able to make it happen!

Its an import, its going to last. That years engine, sohc, is reliable farther than you can ....throw it? But if you want to make it last, they pratically give away dohc swaps all over. you can probably get one for 300 w/tranny and all stuff needed. So if you do that, somewhere in the Nissan forum, would probably be more than likely to go help you install it that is if they are available and such.

I don't plan on driving it all until I get the swap in. I plan on doing a SR swap in the future, just seeing if this is a good deal to you nissan guru's. Thanks for the replies so far but I kinda want someone to go with me to look at it.

Thanks so far.
