It's a love/hate when it determines what you are doing to it.

I better be getting my mustang by this weekend. The guy said he was taking the car into the shop on Tuesday in the morning to look over things and I haven't heard back since. Getting me a little worried. I even shot him an email last night.

Jim a 240 isn't you. I see you in a sick M5 or something.

[jpalamar]

Jim, you buy it and I'll build it. Doing this is actually on my 'bucket list'.

Probally about $60-65k all said and done with an LS motor, 6 speed tranny, paint, and full interior.

I wouldnt be buying/building to drift it. I'd be buying/building it to get a 30mpg daily that runs on regular and is cheap as hell to maintain.

as much as I think thats a great idea, its too small for me (considering its a sedan)

of course.

[jpalamar]

You want a cheap as hell car, that gets good MPGs on regular, and is cheap to maintain you should look into Saturns. 240s are ALWAYS over priced and USUALLY trashed.

My old Saturn went 285k miles on it when my parents got rid of it. It needed like $75 in parts and some time to diagnose it and they were too lazy. Took it to a scrap yard rather then just give it back to me. I was so pissed. Thing was actually mint. Plastic doesn't rust and I had 10 years of receipts for all the maintance I did. It never actually had stuff fail. Cheapest car I ever owned. Got it at auction in 2001 for $600 with 190k miles.

the one i'm looking at is not hit with the drift tax, and is in fairly good condition. Not even swapped lol.

[jpalamar]

Less tax is good LOL

Meh, then get an E30 and call it a day.

[jesse096]

I know someone selling an E30 too, on BBS's and slammed. Think he want's around 10K for it... beautiful car too

-Jesse

[russiankid]

10k???? I sure hope the interior and paint are flawless and I sure hope it is swapped.

[jesse096]

Don't think it's swapped, and paint and interior is about an 8/10, he's asking way too much for it but you might be able to knock him down...

-Jesse

[jesse096]

Maybe a 7/10 for interior, he's got an aftermarket race seat and a 4 point harness....

-Jesse

[HickRocket1258]

Finally got a call from the tuner today. There's a possibility is might be able to get done by Saturday. I hope I can get it before the wedding I have to go to that day.

[russiankid]

Jesse - an M20 E30 is not worth that much. Granted E30's still can retain their value but for 10k I would at least want a 10/10 car all around with an S5x swap.
