Some of you may remember me posting about my rusty s14 trials and tribulations.

well.. now, i plan to get an s13 whether it is hatch or coupe, i care less. as long as its rustless.

the only reason i thought about buying an s13 was because

-since i'm 16, insurance may go down a few dollars compared to an s14?(i wouldnt know for sure)

-it would be a better base if i lacked driving skills and f*** it up, i could just easily find another shell.

or else should i just keep the s14?

theres a hole in the floorpan behind the passenger seat you could probably fit a newborn thru, and it was ghetto-ly fixed with sheet aluminum, + lots of caulk-like substance

the rockers were also repaired the same way, (but looks a lot cleaner)

so what should i do fellow niconauts?

I wouldnt bother getting another car. I just baught a S14 Zenki for 700 bucks that was rotted to shat. Got all the crap fixed for 400 bucks and its oem looking. If you cant get it fixed for cheap by a body shop (The right way) for less then 300 bucks, Id call them useless and look for a better shop. Specially since S14's are super nice. I have a 13 and a 14. love em both but the 13 is my track star.

Insurance would be less on an s14 because it has more airbags

I'm confused, you want to get rid of the s14 because its rusty?

Why does your craigslist post say the car is rustfree?

Ok then. Get me a quote comparing an 89 240sx to a 98 240sx. If you can prove to me that the 98 is cheaper, I'll give you a cookie of your choice. That is all.

You can be a child if you like but my insurance quote is less on an s14 than an s13, I am not going to provide specific quote differences from my insurance, I am only trying to help the OP with reasons as to why an s14 may be less than an s13 whereas you are just shooting down another persons idea without research or any knowledge regarding the subject of why insurance may be more or less, until you provide any real proof I advise you to quit being an a** for no real reason. Have a nice day.

Cool. Maybe the gecko sucks, I don't know, it is not my insurance, all I care about is mine, and I am trying to help the OP in the way I can, AZ is being King Dooosh for no reason, that is all I care to say.

Also, Fibre guy will ramen save me more money for a swap or just make me more JDM, at like 25 cents a pack it is hard to argue
