used car of the day 1987 nissan 200sx se

Today we bring you a 1987 Nissan 200SX SE for $21,500.

This one has a five-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks.

New parts include the A/C compressor, tires, timing belt and tensioner, brakes, battery, fan belts, clutch kit, master cylinder, water pump, rack and pinion, and the ECU.

The seller has all the original documentation and service records, and some extra parts to boot. There are only 154,000 miles on the odometer and this one has every factory option. The obviously biased seller even says it's "the best in the country." We cannot verify that, obviously.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

What's with the headrest.? Been noticing this greedy trend lately on any car that is 30 years old in sane condition for the owners to be asking insane amounts.. saw a Mitsubishi Colt just yesterday from 1992 owner asking for $12000.. done 148,000 kms . Just because it had original paint and trim in average condition..worth maybe $1500 as a run about.. good luck..there is always someone gullible these days it seems..

  Rare does not equal valuable. And sometimes cars are rare because they were not very good

I may have the best in the country. 65,681 original mi. Still runs great. Stored inside. I'll accept half of what this guy's asking.

Orange260z I'm facing the "tire aging out" issue as well - the Conti ECS on my 911 have 2017 date codes but have lots (likely >70%) tread remaining. The tires have spent quite little time in the sun, as the car has become a garage queen and has likely had ~10K kms put on in the last 5 years. I did notice that they were getting harder last year, as the car pushes more in corners and the back end breaks loose under heavy acceleration. I'll have to do a careful inspection for cracks when I get the car out for the summer in the coming weeks.
VoGhost Interesting comments. Back in reality, AV is already here, and the experience to date has been that AV is far safer than most drivers. But I guess your "news" didn't tell you that, for some reason.
