...not sure which car to purchase. Here's the list that I'm considering. Can you guys give me your opinions on the cars and it's pros and cons in terms of reliability, interior, ride quality etc. and please let me know any known issues (electrical and mechanical) with the cars in mind. I don't wanna spend more than $15,000.

1. 96-98 240 SX LE
2. 95 MR2 Turbo
3. 96-98 A4 1.8T (most likely it'll be high km's for less than 15 G's)

If there's any other cars out there that I may have left out that's within my budget, please feel free to recommend. No domestics please, only Japaneses or European. Thanks.

 

audi...do it.....best decision you'll ever make

 

i'd go for 240 or mr2... that's just my opinion...

 

I love the A4, but for that price, the only thing that would be holding me back would be the kms.

 

By coincidence, two of my friends have bought A4's over 1 year ago. They bought them used.

Amazing cars. Luxury and comfort, really. They are pretty quick too. Apparently, there is lots of potential for more power... increasing the boost and rechipping...

I would go FR....but if its an all season car go A4....may be you can do a S4 conversion later on, that would be sweet; or turn up the boost in that puny 1.8T

Stock psi is ****, it always is. Research on it, and you'll find out it doesn't take much to make it a lil faster.

Keep looking...theres bound to be someone that needs to leave the country in a hurry.

 

I know the potential for all 3 cars, but I don't wanna spend to much on mods. I just find it's not really all that worth it anymore. Getting kinda old. Got other things to worry about first.
However, if I do pick up the 240, I will be tempted to do the swap.

 

I know of someone selling a 93 MR2 with a Japanese motor swap.

He doesn't want all that much, and has replaced almost everything mechanically with factory parts. The car is black as well.

If you are interested in the car, shoot me an email.

99.5 audi

 

Thanks, but I'm looking for something with minimal mods. I prefer to mod it myself. How many km's on the body and the motor? Is it n/a or turbo?

 

Get a Audi S4

 

Which ever car you like the most.

 

Get the Nissan 240 or buy a 3rd gen RX7 turbo. Nissans are big cars and have floaty susp... if you are getting old, this is a good car for you Audi = problems The MR2 is too small for you if you say you are getting older... it's more of a cockpit feel. For your needs, I say 240SX is definitely the ride that you will have the most pleasure out of. Don't swap... just turbo the KA24 properly. Torque-a-plenty

 

KA24 = sweet... my friend is running that and turbo.... crazy thing is just craziiii

 

Thanks for all your opinions guys. I think I am leaning more towards the 240. It's pretty hard to find a manual though.
Would any of you know the differences in the years the S14 came in, in terms of interior, exterior, tail lights...etc. Thanks.

 

hmm, keep searching, took my cousin a few months to find the right one.

 

if you are interested I know someone selling a 2000 celica loaded, dealer maintained with 88,000k (it's a woman driver) for 18,000

 

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in the Celica.

 

no prob and sorry i didn't notice it was out of your price range until after i had already posted!

 

Well, if I can find what I'm looking for in excellent condition with lower milage for more than what I wanted to spend, I will definately jump on the opportunity. But I'm just not interested in the Celica.
