ok, if u want a cheap car, dont get a 944. i was fortunate enough that nothing major ever broke on mine, but those things are a bitch to fix. they are German, so they;re desintged to take a beating, but when something goes wrogn, u r either gonna pay out the ass to have it fixed, or u r gonna have to take some time off work to fix it. my advice, if u get a 944, have a good DD just in case. fun cars though. ---

> [@nixad](#): > > 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 I’m not just spouting off what I’m saying for fun, or to keep you away from 944’s so I can have them for myself, or stupid shit like that. I’m saying this for your own good. Trust me, I know the market, I’ve been involved in these cars for 5 years now. Anything you find under 4k, save a few exceptions will be a total piece of shit, and maitenance isnt exactly cheap or easy on 944’s. ---

$310 a month for insurance, not that bad. Sucks that my dad is working all week, need him to come check it out a few cars with me. More his field of expertiece then mine, I would pick up a old 87 mustang but my dad want no more then 6 cylinders. I thought rotary were pretty long lasting engines? Edit: I’ll take your advice on the 944, I figured german reliablity would be good, can I expect the same from something liek a e30? I know the 944 and 928 where the only front engine porsches so they must have been smoking crack when drawing it up lol ---

4g’s, 17 years old, first car… Of that list, find a clean 240. You could get a nice one for 4g’s. Could probably get an S14 if you like that body style better (which I do personally.) I’m not sure of the differences, but I think the S13 would be better for modding though. It’s easily the cheapest, probably most reliable, and cheap/easy to fix out of all of them on your list. Plus it’s a cool car, rwd, lotsa potential especially with a (relatively) easy motor swap if you want to eventually. As a 17 year old male I would think you’ll pay through the nose for insurance on anything turbo. Beat on a 240 for a year or two. It’s still a cool car and makes the most sense to me. ---

Don’t get a rotary engine if reliability is a concern. They go boom a lot and finding knowledgable people to help you work on it will be a lot harder than if you had a reciprocating piston engine. Fawk, is it just an NYC thing that insurance is that high? 3,000 a year sounds like a ton of money to me. Paying the same as what the car cost for 1 year of insurance? damn… ---

I know the 944 and 928 where the only front engine porsches so they must have been smoking crack when drawing it up lol Every winter I buy a new beater e30, I procede to beat the piss out of it every year. An e30 325is or a 240sx is EXACTLY what you are looking for. E30’s are near indestructable, I bet it’d do just as well as that Toyota truck they torture tested on Top Gear.
