Well, with either vehicle the freshman is prepared for the intense study of ornithology that is so common with new men on campus - the relentless search for the ever elusive sulphur-crested double-breasted mattress thrasher... once these are located, return trips to home will be far less frequent!

 

Looks like a clean car, did he give you an extra set of wheels as well? Couldnt help but notice a back seat full of bling. Might be able to offload those and make some money back, afterall big rims on a boxy car make it look like a roller skate.

 

Yeah those were on there when I went to look at it. I disliked the 20in rims. Plus they ride like crap. So I got home and popped the factory wheels back on. Im gonna sell them and save the money for idk what yet.

 

I found. 240sx I might get for 3 stacks. The car has 15,000 original miles. Grandma owned and was for her grand daughter but...she uh passed away. I'm checking it out tomorrow but the car fax came up clean.

 

Caleb,

What year is it? I really liked the early 240 SX's, especially the fastback version. When I lived in Titusville Florida, my ex was taking me back to court to try and get mjore child support. My laywer took one look at my income and expenses and asked right away if I was happy with what I was driving. I told him it was alright, but I would like something better. He told me either I increase my expenses or she would get most of it, so that weekend I drove the Grand Prix to orlando and came back home in a new 1986 280ZX 2+2 that was brown trimmed in gold. Tht was one awesome car. I put over 300,000 miles on it over the next ten years or so.

I would jump on that 240 without doubt.

 

Lots of good info. I've been in your exact shoes. When you are off at school the intentions are good to come home, but you will do it less than what you think. You know your vehicle and what is in need of repair. Gas is expensive but it will take a long time to recover the costs of the fuel. Not to mention, you repair the BMW one time and you offset all the savings you thought you would have. I sold my gas hog for a more echo friendly car, and should have stuck with the car that I knew.

 

On the other hand, I always liked having more than one car at my disposal. When I had my 280 ZX2+2, I also had a 73 Mustang Grande, When I had my Bronco, I also had an Olds 88 and a Chrysler AFifth Ave. When I had my Benz, I also had a 928.

It is good to have a choice of what to drive on a given day. Having only one vehicle sucks. Having two keeps you from running one to death.

 

It's a 1989 240sx. But I may not get it, the parents surprised me and they may get me a car

 

OK get the 240 for me!

 

I might an SR20 swap or a RB25 skyline engine would really make it my dream car.
