What is a cheap car to drive every day. i no a 240sx. I was trying to convince my mom to get me a 325is and let me pay for the hole thing. Or i would get a shit car to drive. What does everyone think. were having financ issues so i cant drive the suv anymore which sucks because cant hall parts around for people. SO yeah if you all can hellp me out that would be great. Ill take any comments to heart. Its just insurance on a 2007 car and paying 3000 a year isnt fun so i need to down grade so help me find a car like i said earlier. i would like it to be manual and a fly looking car thanks.
i need help so yeah help out also needs to be under like 2000
or just tell me the benifts of getting a 240 s13 hatch. Or the benifts to a 325is 1988.

240s are cheaper, especially cause you can get a ton of parts right here on 240atlanta.

OR YOU CAN NO TLISTEN TO THE DUMBASS ABOVE ME, AND NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE AND GET A BOOSTED CAR WHEN YOUR IN HIGHSCHOOL. get a s13 with a ka in it and DD that till you graguate. theres a reason why im getting rid of my rb and going with a ka.. dont be an idea. if ur gona get a 240, get it the right way. stock. then add suspension when money and time come. THEN worry about a motor.. but if you have a good job, and money then i guess buy something with a motor in it.. hell buy my rb ;-)

lol troof theres a bunch of running 240s for under 2000, the usual maintenance every car should get but i mean its well worth it. youre not likely to get a manual without some major problems but if you find out take the deal. good luck with what you want. i say go 240 because you can easily find parts for it
If you need a cheap beater, get an accord.

lol^^ wes, wanna buy my rb? im an idiot. i need a ka.
Why the hell would I buy that piece of shit? lol.
No one thats ever owned that motor has not has problems with it.
And no Cullen, you need steady cash income before owning a modded car.
cjacob74
01-03-2009, 03:33 PM
yes.. thts why im selling the rb. getting a ka, doing my suspension first as money comes. then later on down the road ill do a motor.. i may just save the rb in my garage and buy a ka, then save more money till i get enough for suspension.. idk yet. but the motors fine now. idk why everyone had problems with it. you can ask will. he drove it for a while, it pulls really hard.

Lol at asking Will about a running 240.
That makes no sense, Cullen, buying a KA but saving the RB, then buying suspension, how the hell is that helping at all?
If its fine and all, why dont you just drive it, and save money for suspension?
You kids these days amaze me sometimes.
cjacob74
01-03-2009, 03:49 PM
because i know that later on down the road its gonna have other problems, its a boosted car. idk, in my head it just made since to get rid of the rb. get a ka and coilovers and a few other suspension parts at once. DD that and like end of summer, begining of next year buy another motor. idk tho.
you'll last longer with an RB than a KA

01-03-2009, 10:16 PM
josh. corollas are rwd... please dont tell me you thought they were real. i still am wondering why the hell you are on a 240 forum if you so inlove with bmw's. get on bimmerforums.com and to asnwer who evers question up there, whats wrong with the rb.. uhh well the only real problem is no tune, so its really rich, and the soleniod on the starter is fucked.. other than tat its not bad, i just would rather spend my money on suspension. because my rear struts are blown, and i wanna get coilovers, so selling the rb n getting a ka ill have money for that.
Spicoli
01-03-2009, 10:19 PM
i like rwd better they handle alot better to me i just like having traction going behind me not in front its just a personal perfrence. And i do have a job and work really hard i mite add getting hit in the face all the time and everything. i teach kids how to swim and i just bought mny own first car this summer ended up as a lemon car so yeah. i posted that story up on my other post but seriously i work really hard. and just want a car that i can have a project for me and also a good daily driver to have. i want a 240 because a college will look at me knowing i no how to fix my own car and do slite mods to thankks though peop;le. also no less im having to start pay a little for my school which is hard so calehha dude cut me some slack ight bro try paying 5000 a year for schoool you hate going to as well as insurance so yeah.
true and cullen im on bimmerforums.com
i finally realized there really exspensive over time the parts are alot of money. im on the site the guys say you need to have deep pockets. ANd unfornatley i was told bmw are always needed to be worked on and are expsensive to
