About the Nissan 240SX S14 (KA24DE)

The S14 240SX is the wider, heavier, more grown-up version of the S13 that America received with the same KA24DE engine. It carries the 155 hp four-cylinder, rear-wheel drive, and — importantly — the multi-link rear suspension and a stiffer shell that make it a better base for a serious build than the S13.

Investment Grade · Solid

The Nissan 240SX S14 (KA24DE) (1995-1998) sits in a solid mid-tier position, offering bulletproof reliability (86/10) that owners routinely daily-drive paired with low running costs (45/10 maintenance). The RWD platform attracts a steady enthusiast following, and parts remain widely available (82/10). Market-wise values are up a healthy +14.0% year-on-year while a rarity score of 32/100 means there is usually plenty of choice on the market — accessible next to Grade A and S cars, with condition and mileage doing most of the pricing work.

Price estimates are based on market research and recent sales data. Values fluctuate based on condition, mileage, and market demand. Not financial advice.
