^^ i got mine for $2500 and it was in good shape. it needed a sunroof seal, had 2 small spots where rust was bubbling, and it would have needed a paint job to be PERFECT, but the interrior was immaculate and it was in excelent shape mechanically. u cna get a good one for cheap, they’re out there, you jsut have to be patient. ---

Yeah, and I know a guy who picked up a perfect 951 for $500, your case is more of a rarity than the norm. ---

yea for 4 grand he could get an rx7, but it’d be a turbo II, prolly in “decent” shape but higher mileage ---

> [@MPD47](#): > > You will NOT find a 944 that is good shape for $4k. Period. There were 10 under 100k miles that sold on the eBay (completed listings). So I am guessing that 944 go to shit way before 100k. Besides I am guessing he is looking for a N/A RX-7, second gen, maybe first. He never said if I was right or not… ---

you guys are right, it really depends on the trim, or year, or motor in the car. you might be able to find a non turbo 944, but it will be slower then my volvo was. finding a turboII or older RX7 will be a hard find to get one for under 4K and not need a ton of work. i really dont know anything about 240’s so ill keep my trap shut about that. ive spent a LOT of hours under MPD47’s 944’s. I will only work on his from now on, and thats because hes a good friend. they are a PAIN IN THE ASS to work on. we joked the whole time we pulled the motor on #2, that the germans were smoking crack when they designed some things on that car… ---

I need to call my insurance company findout some quotes, There wouldn’t be much differnce between those cars would there? there all 2D coupes, and tubros always add a little. Can I get it insureded under me since i’m 17 or will I have to be under my parnets somehow? Well I belive I can find a 944 for under 4k, I was surpriced when I looked that there were actualy a few around me, as for the 240 there is a 95 automatic one with 90k miles on it listed for $2000 which I think is a steal I’m going to call the guy tommarow, also a s13 with a SR20DET in it but the car seems beat. The RX7 I was thinking of a 2nd gen one (FC) but these seem to be pretty rare along with a e30. ---

Well, how much is relativly cheap? After talking to my dad he wants me to get somewhat of a cheap ride to start with like around $2000, thats why i’m looking for something that I can swap a new engine into and just tune on since I wouldn’t have money for a new car any time soon. ---

do not get a autotragic. you will only kick yourself later. You should be able to find a 240 for that price range and swap in a motor fairly cheap. However a t2 would be nice being turbo from factory, but rotary motors can be a pain. I guess you just have to have half a brain and watch your temp guage.
