was in the same boat

you just have to keep searching..lame advice but its the truth..i held out for 4 months and 6 different cars before i found one worth the money, you should be able to get one in fair condition for 1500..but then your getting into either looks good runs crappy or runs great and is pretty beat

you'll get one for sure, heck even check those 2nd rate car dealerships with 10-15 cars and a mobile home for an office, its where i found mine.

as long as you know what you should be looking for in the car, you'll always find a good deal

i picked mine up at a car donation place. they take cars people donate and sell them-the money goes towards a charity of some sort, but i got a great deal on mine 900$. 82K on the car, only problem it had was the key was stuck in the ignition... good luck and im sure you will find one.

You never know man. Just got to keep your eyes open. I got my 95' for 2700 almost a year ago with 193k on it. Ran like a champ though.

there are tons of 240s in the sacto area. You'll find one shortly. Just keep waiting. Go find that huge KA-T crew in sacto and befriend them... They'll find one for ya fast and if it has a nearly blown motor, can prolly hook you up w/ a working motor for cheap.

I bought my 240 for 1500 when it was maybe worth 1200... the engine blew 2 weeks later, so it was more worth 800 at that point!!! I still got mine tho and the new engine is fresh rebuild badass...

start workin and saving so you can have more than just a stock 240
