If it's supposed to be a daily driver, then buy the black one and DON'T touch it. Don't turn your daily driver into a reliability issue, save that for your project cars.

Just my old fart practicality talkin'...

I would say that it all depends on what your goals for the car are (drift, AutoX, road racing, etc.) and also what your skill level is as a driver. The 240 will be MUCH easier for you to handle and even easier to drift. Just my .02

Yeah Yeah Yeah, Leave me alone
Nah, I do need good daily driver since the JDM drift mountain bike car is going for sale, so I'm going to take everyones advise and go with the black one, and for now just put nice set of wheels, set of coil-overs, and it should be good for now!!!
If everything works out I'm going to pick up the car in couple of hours ,
Thanks guys !!!

Yea, aparently that airwalker kit is pretty rare to come by, plus it's JDM.

Yes, we all love that car, some more others. black interior swap

Sean, did you get that link I sent you last night. There were more of that JDM RSX you liked. BTW, what are you doing online and posting. Go and pick up your car already!

dude sorry if you pay 14k for the 240 your gettin ripped off

my dad has a g35 and has never had any tires probs as darren claims they have

in the end its your decision but the 350 is a much better car, especially for the money

I mean you can just say buying a 240 for $17k is getting ripped off without even knowing the condition of the car and what's in it so that is different argumetn !!

About G35 and 350Z, darren was right, they do have problems with 350Z rear end and he never said anything about G35 and you should know better they are two completely different cars !! (There is reason for that $15k extra)

350 was a nice car but just too small for me !!!

all i meant by the vakue if the 240 was you cant expect to regain the value of aftermarket mods in the private party selling of a vehicle, what did KBB say the car was worth? If it is worth 14k then i stand corrected and i apologize

and also, the g35 and 350 are pretty much the same car and for a brand new one the price difference is not all that much

either way congrats and enjoy and dont forget to get sideways

I do understand what you are saying, and I do agree with it, I mean it was 15k car to start with, but this new import thing has taken this car to the next level and it's like trucks now so doesn't really go by KBB, I mean all you have to do just open a Auto trader or any online listing and you will see what I'm talking about, sure you can get a s13 for much cheaper but s14 demands are really high since they are known to have the best handling in their price range. Some of the guys here know I have been looking for this car for quite some time now so I was surprise at first, and when I was making offers the sellers were laughing at me and after some research I found out it what's going on so I changed the way I was making offers on cars. they are becoming like Supras, right now if someone got a 1993.5 up MKIV they can ask anywhere between $30~$50 sure they have mods and as you said mods don't have value to the buyer but the demand is so high, they can ask for anything which is at some point stupid but hey, they don't make them no more, So I think at some point demand over ride the actual value. So the case for the white car, it's 97, so the car worth close to 8k stock in this market, and list of mod and that car is just un-beatable, I mean a rich kid from LA, decided to make a drift car, so just go from there, start with 340 RWHP s14 sr engine in front all the way to Tommie 2-way LSD in the back, if you just add the mods on that car with no labor the value would over 20k so his asking price was not that bad for a person who just want to have ready to go car.

But hey I paid less than KBB value for my car so I'm cool with it, how is your car coming, did you get your problem fix (I think re-mapping)
