searching for a decent 240 is frigging impossible!!!!!

I found the sweetest deal TWO days ago... I posted about it earlier, a LE with 95k and all that, and he only wanted like $2000 for it. I get my money together, call back today and what? IT SOLD A HALF HOUR AGO!!!!

This has friggin happened to me so many times now I cant stand it... as soon as a good deal goes on the market it gets snatched up in a matter of days, usually right out from under me. ARRRRRRRUGH :( :mad:

I know exactly how you feel fiz... I'm in the same situation. I've been looking for 4 months now for *the* 240 of my future. Lots of promising stuff, but nothing's worked out thus far.:( We'll get our cars eventually, though the sooner the better :D

There is a SWEEET 91+ SE hatch across the street from my work. From what I can see, it looks very, very clean. I told my buddy to go look at it. They want 3500 and it's HICAS. :(

Think about this.. "91" and "S14" don't fit the same category.

That used car dealership is about a 20 minute drive from my house. Looks nice in the pictures but the lack of a state inspection sticker on it would concern me. It implies the dealer may have picked it up cheap at an out-of-state auction or perhaps it doesn't pass PA's inspection, which has a pretty strict emissions test. But if you change your mind about red hatchbacks, I know where there's a nice one for sale.

Dude I know how it feels. I wnated one when I turned 16, well four years later I finnaly get my 240. It's a '91 SE coupe 5spd, no ABS, HICAS, LSD, Sunroof (thank God),But it does have power windows, mirrors, and locks. Cloth Interior, the outside is a little ruff but I used to be a painters helper at a body shop so thats no big deal to me. I paid $2800 with taxes and all. So good luck man, you'll find one soon.
