this is begining to really bug me, so i want to hear what people think, should i spend $3000 on a 89-92 240sx or wait a bit (gets $400 a week) and buy a better one after or during christmas. btw the $400 a week is hard earned money…not mommy’s allowance ---

Do you need a car to drive? Can you afford the insurance between now and christmas? Too many variables! Just keep your eyes out for a car you really like and that you can afford. whenever it happens, it happens! ---

i went through the same thing… I say wait!!! keep searching and keep saving a untill you have enough and you find the perfect one. I had saved then searched for 4 months (and saved in there) finally found the perfect one for me, low KM of 155000KM, red, fastback, I wanted a 91-93 and it was a 93, had no rust underneath, no rust execpt for a big bubble on a-pillar and the usuall minor engine bay spots. Baught the car and with the extra money i saved, i picked up an intake, tinted the windows, fixed the major rust on the a-pillar and at th same time i had the sand and paint the top black. I love my car 😃 ---

Less headaches in the long run if you wait. ---

wait, take $3500 USD to the states and grab a clean S13, use $200 you’ve set aside and throw a VLSD into it, and be happy. Canadian S13’s are something I no longer want to fart around with, personnally ---
