you will!

don't give up.. it took me forever to find mine..

I bought mine 4 1/2 years ago... I totaled my civic and was not going to buy anything BUT a S14..

so I looked for 6 months... and belive me you... that is a long long time to find one here in SoCal... but I did and it was perfect except I wanted to get a Pearl white and I got a Black... but other than that, it was perfect... I got it for $10K back then with like 35K miles and in perfect condition..

so just hold on and you will find it... did you think about looking for a S13 and using the left over money to do mods???

S13's are not $4k... you can get one for like $2k... just keep looking...

don't be afraid to get a shell for cheap and then just get a motor and drop it in!

My first s13 cost me $300 with a "blown" ka (wasn't really messed up just the cam gear backed out and got wedged) and an awesome body. I drove by it everyday for almost a year and finally just stopped to look at it b/c I thought it looked cool. I never even knew what type of car it was. The guy said "oh you can put a silvia engine in it" and I was like what? Silvia?

My second one was a 91' se my dad found in the paper for $1500 so I called and the old guy said he lived on my street and I never even saw it. It had a slipping clutch and a broken door but was loaded. I got it for $700 b/c he just bought a new maxima and wanted the 240 out.

I think I was always meant to own a 240.

Dont worry man you'll find a car eventually it took me almost 5 months to find an s14a for less than 10k, but just be patient its worth the wait.

I thought i got lucky on mine but i paid 2700 for crushed fenders and a snapped tie rod brace and 189k miles. But now i am the only person with a 93 with full power and no mechanical/electrical problems.

Never settle for what you find. Only get what you want. I looked and looked and looked forever until I found the Q45 I wanted. Everytime I went back to make a purchase, it was always gone. A friend of mine finally found my ride on Autotrader, being sold by a teacher.

Thanks guys...I know that I just need to wait for what I want, I'm just so impatient. I guess the guy in KY is bringing down the 96 240SX, he wants $4k, so we'll see how that goes...and I'm sure I'll find some S13's for even less.

WELL, I talked to the guy in Kentucky about the S14 with the *R32* front-end (hmm?)...he wanted $4k...and he was an a**hole! So I told him not to bother driving down here because the car had 140k miles and a 96 for $4k...I think I could find a better deal... :)

You need some more money. I suggest another job...which you already said that you can't find.

Or you can find yourself a sugadaddy.

Or continue to save money and be patient! Patience is free.
