I just got a job and I'm making good money, Looking to save up $5k for a car and wondering what would be good to get. I was peeping at this 92 240sx hatchback on craigslist that was nice but was just wondering what others thought.

I would go for that if it doesnt have any issues. They are pretty fast and you can make them look good!

You don't want a 240. Everyone I have seen has a kid in it that rugs it out, who wants a rugged out 240 anyways

And your going to have to give a little more info to what brand name do you prefer and do you want a 4 banger, V6, or a V8?

Around here its 2000-2004 and a 5 every once in a while, but they usally have high ass miles. Most of them are v6s tho. I am actually waiting for a v8 to appear!
