That too. Although you will never be completely satisfied if you get something else. I wanted a 240sx and ended up with an EK Civic hatchback. I love my car, but 240sx's are still awesome cars and I would get one in a heartbeat if I could.And it's a lot easier to find a better car that's not so trendy right now, and pay a lot less for it.

Really? You think your Civic is slow - the 240SX is unspeakable!
But, you should grab yourself either a late 80's 300ZX or an early 90's 300ZX. Much easier to find and in the older ones case--much much cheaper.
You aren't seriously stating that the 240SX in ANY trim is slower than a bloody US spec Civic are you?
Do I detect a bit of sarcasm there Ice Maing? Though, keep in mind, the Z31 300ZX (1984-1989) is so old at this point they're dirt cheap to repair... Good luck getting at that radiator though.I'd bet that they are cheaper to insure, repair, and operate as well...
Uhhhh, yes, he is. In the latest GRM there is an article about a guy who built up a 240SX to be competitive at the US national level in autocross. His previous car was a Civic (which is the dominant car in the class shared by his 240) and the owner stated that the Civic was faster in a straight line.You aren't seriously stating that the 240SX in ANY trim is slower than a bloody US spec Civic are you?
Never mind the radiator - find one that hasn't biodegraded from the doorhandles down.Though, keep in mind, the Z31 300ZX (1984-1989) is so old at this point they're dirt cheap to repair... Good luck getting at that radiator though.

...as long as you flip it within the next year, before the fad dies down and the prices return to normal for a nice-ish 10-year-old Nissan.One of those cars is depreciating in an irregular manner, and it's not the BMW.
Then again you could view a 240SX purchase as an investment...
The new Civics are pretty quick. And those '95-'98 240SXs are heavier than 3000GTs. 3000GT being a metaphor for 'heavy thing.'

...And as noted by Duke, especially here in Michigan, you're very lucky to find one without a good amount of rust...

JCEWrong. The 3000GT weighs in at ~3760lbs and the S14 240SX weighs in at ~2753lbs. That's 1000lbs less if math serves me correctly.
I dunno Duke - the AE86 thing has yet to wear off.
Damn - I thought my stating that the 3000GT reference was a metaphor would suggest that it was, in fact, a metaphor.
If that was a joke it flew right over my head.![]()
Get a Trueno...
Or a Nissan Z-car.
For my first car, I want either a Honda Beat or a Buick Grand National, but either of the above would be okay.. I know I could afford the Grand National, but I don't know about the Beat.
Oh right.. Actually, if possible, I'd get a Mazda AZ-1. But that's probably not possible.
