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.

SCE to AUX Here's a crazy thought - what if China decides to fully underwrite the 102.5% tariff?
3-On-The-Tree They are hard to get in and out of. I also like the fact that they are still easy to work on with the old school push rod V8. My son’s 2016 Mustang GT exhaust came loose up in Tuscon so I put a harbor freight floor jack, two jack stands, tool box and two 2x4 in the back of the vette. So agreed it has decent room in the back for a sports car.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh so what?? .. 7.5 billion is not even in the same hemisphere as the utterly stupid waste of money on semiconductor fabs to the tune of more than 100 billion for FABS that CANNOT COMPETE in a global economy and CANNOT MAKE THE US Independent from China or RUSSIA. we REQUIRE China for cpu grade silicon and RUSSIA/Ukraine for manufacturing NEON gas for cpus and gpus and other silicon based processors for cars, tvs, phones, cable boxes ETC... so even if we spend trillion $ .. we STILL have to ask china permission to buy the cpu grade silicon needed and then buy neon gas to process the wafers.. but we keep tossing intel/Taiwan tens of billions at a time like a bunch of idiots.Google > "mining-and-refining-pure-silicon-and-the-incredible-effort-it-takes-to-get-there" Google > "silicon production by country statista" Google > "low-on-gas-ukraine-invasion-chokes-supply-of-neon-needed-for-chipmaking"
