Hey guys -

Don't get me wrong, I love my P10, but sadly, she's not "my" car. She's one of hte two family cars and she is shared between me and my mother. Time may be soon approaching for me to get my own car, and I think I'm looking to spend less than 7-9k.

What do u guys think of the 240SX?

I basically want a nice manual coupe. Other cars I was thinking about were a prelude, del sol VTEC if I can find one, or possibly another G altho that's prolly ruled out cuz I really want a coupe.

(There is always the G35 Sports Coupe, but that G is a *tiny* bit outta my price range rite now :p)

Let me know what u guys think! Thanks!

240sx is good, what about a second Generation Eclipse, i loved mine and hated selling it, not to mention it has any performance part you could ever want. the 240 will probably be a little harder to come by parts but vielside makes a good body kit for it. you might, and i stress might be able to get an integra for that price

I highly recommend it.;)
My brother had a manual 89 240SX.
Damn, it was fun to fishtail in that bad boy.:evil:
....That said, my only issue was that it was easy to break traction, being a rear-wheel drive car. So I would be EXTRA cautious in foul weather.
And yeah, I know all about not having the $$$ to get the G35 Coupe.:cheeky: Just saw one on the road today....:*(

If you don't want the 4 door G, you can always go for the 200SX SE-R (B14), NX2000 or first generation Sentra SE-R (B13). I had 2 B13 SE-R and now have a B14, and the B13s were fast!!! But they didn't have anything like power wondows etc.

The B14 is nice and still fun, but a little slower and it depends on how you like the styling.

how is the 240SX with reliability / maintainance / insurance?

I dunno, I dun really dig the 200SX styling... it has the same body as a sentra, right?

EXCELLENT!!

low insurance, very dependable, and will take alot of shit without breaking, plus parts are very easy to find, both replacement and aftermarket, and i dony know about where you live, but around here, these things arent every third car you see like a civic is
