which car would you pick !!

Option a) 97 white 240sx with sr motor and fully loaded and illegal




Option b) 2003 350z with 24k miles and track option




Price range is very close, 350 is couple of grand more !!!

 

350's suck ****. get ready for a pair of tires every 3 months even if u drive like a grandma.

 

why is that Darren !

 

price the same i might go with 350. with 350 being more though, id go with
Option a) 97 white 240sx with sr motor and fully loaded and illegal

then again i dont know smog laws and all that in cali, but thats what i would do. 350s are a dime a dozen here. i like the 240 idea.

Cool,
I love that 240, I mean it has everything I could ask for and the owner is asking for every bit of it but it is a clean car, I give him that much, but as any other modified car its eye catcher for cops, and with the swap engine, that means DUNZO if I got pulled over, and yes the smog is going to cost me $350 every couple of years which is not that bad and that is the last thing in my mind, Also the car is modified so I don't know how daily its going to be. But he is the second guy I have been talking to and they both scared of the cops. He is asking 17k, I know, that sounds a little bit high for 97 car but after you see the mod list,you know what he is talking about, I couldn't low ball him less than $16.5k myself !!

ROLEX Didn't we talk about that hood, at Jermey's house

The 350 is very clean and adult driven, I like the car it got the look and its RWD, and the engine already makes good power and with optional turbo, they are making over 400 RWHP with just 6 PSI of boost on 91 gas which is darn good in my book I can have the car for the trade in value of $18k if not less.

So what's going to be

 

might be an eye catcher for cops but if you don't give them a reason I wouldn't think you would have too much of an issue.

 

I've been in a 240 and a 350, the 350 is a pretty sweet ride in coparison. the 350 will probably cause you less maintenance issues since it's newer and probably wasn't driven as hard as the 240. It's a toss up, either way, Nissan has built a nice car.

 

dude the 350's rear suspension has had problem since day 1. unever tire wear. people have gone through 6 sets a year...

there's toe , caster , and camber problems.

get what you like. i drove a 350 and wasnt impressed. it's a heavy car. it's solid but HEAVY

 

THE 240, BUY IT FOR THE HOOD! DO IT!

 

Thanks for the info Darren, I'll do some research on that, Sean

 

240 for sure

 

Thank you guys, Yep Test drove a 350 at Roseville Nissan today, very nice car but a tad small for me, I like to have a little more space so I can tilt my seat so 350 is out for sure, so the hunt for clean 240 continues but you won't see me in compton are even if larry zoto says the car is clean, I'll tell you that much

 

Well the kid called me today, and he has to sell the car and he would take my offer, or I told him $17k if he smog the car, but in the mean time, I found this car around my house, very clean, dark exterior and nice interior +1 and only 145k, and I can have it for $4500 or even less, The cool thing is the car is adult driven car so I know it has not been abused. what do you guys think, I'm thinking about getting this car, its a good daily driver and I can buid it to my spec and liking instead buying someone elses car at full price !!

 

Ooh, nice find Sean! Get the black one and build it yourself...you'll like it more Black is sooo cool....

 

Thanks Rico, yeah it really got me thinking, also its zenki model headlight (round) which I like it more than kouki (the white care angle) personaly so that is plus aswell !!

 

If it will save you $13k so you can build it yourself and put that cash into getting exactly what you want I think its worth going that way. Car looks like its in great shape too. Its always good to start with a car thats completely stock so you KNOW all the mods were done right and there were no shortcuts.

 

Sean , get option a so I can buy that black one!

 

definitely save yourself the 13k and build it up baby. I dunno about the tan seats, but that can always be easily fixed with the 13k left over

 

i'd rather get a modded car, but that's because I can't really do anything myself to a stock car except break stuff. i like the white one, but the black one has better potential. Plus the black one allows for a better budget with future bathroom remodeling if one chooses that route.

 

go for the local black 240, build it up, it'll be your project, and youd know the condition of all the mods
