no
trade a car that may need a shifter cable for one with frame damage?
no
5 hours for a car that you can't even get decent pictures of?
Not hardly.
Especially for one with known frame damage.
Double especially for one that's had either a motorswap or a turbo added (intercooler = turbo, USDM 240s all had N/A KAs).
alright here guys look at the car im trading for it the 240 u tell me i think im gunan do it the mits isnt fast at all

Then find something fast without damage
In reply to ReverendDexter:

Just so you know, that car doesn't have an intercooler

Gee, why do you suppose that might be?
I think the trade was a mistake, unless your DSM was more screwed up than you let on.
Anyone care to translate his posts into english?
Normally, I don't say anything about this type of stuff, but for the love of god, please learn where the period key is!!!!

What he said. Also a bone stock 240SX is not exactly "fast" and one that has frame damage is just asking for trouble.
As everyone else has said don't do it. As it seems that you are going to ignore the advice given by those here, good luck you are going to need it.
Nobody does a trade to get the raw end of the deal. There's some reason why he wants your boring slow eclipse with a screwed up linkage instead of his crashed 240sx.

true dat..
And seriously.. your shifting problem is one broken shift cable! 
DOES NOT EQUAL smashed front end OR $500.
A little late there, skippy. 
Against what EVERYONE said, he did the trade.

I know that, but its never too late to learn why what you just did was a bad idea.
