hey a guy from dallas area! all those look good but pricey...

[240sxAli4Life]

defedenly get the 1993 silver s13 hatch!! The first one!! Its got a rebuilt motor which is GREAT, and it will run strong!! Only thing you need to do is some paint and body work, and get rid of those ugly side skirts!! But that looks like a good car for $2500! Try getting them down more!! Im not a big fan of the s14 zenki style! The hatchback s13s are super sexy! You dont want an auto coupe, its alot of work to do the 5 spd swap, and its got alot of miles on it! How many miles is on the rebuilt s13 hatch??? I would def. get the first s13 hatch though, its a WAY BETTER BUY!!!!

[carlos15]

Yeah man Dallas!!! And the silver one has 100k on body and it has 15k in rebuilt engine. I'm gonna go look at it in Monday and he's dropping the price to 2000. The only thing that I need is a new Rad. Support ill prolly be buying this car and yes ill be getting a new body kit prolly origin and a roof spoiler ill post back on here when I get the car thanks for the opinnions

[carlos15]

Sick boi any good places to chill and drift around dfw maybe a crew been looking but haven't found anything.

[SoCal-S13]

2nd one is gay. and an s14 so theres two strikes. 3rd one is a coupe. gay. and autotragic.

id go with #1. a hatch rebuilt no aero 5spd

edit: #1 has skirts. rip that s*** off.

[carlos15]

yeah imma go look at it tommorow and thos side skirts have to go imma leave them with him lol

[bigbadberry3]

I thought prices were high in Chicago. Make sure to check for rust everywhere!

[mychalous]

Number 1 or 2 IMO. There's room to talk both of them down though because they are a little overpriced. Good luck with whatever you choose and don't skimp on the initial maintenance.

[carlos15]

yeah ill have my eye open for rust. and the guy with the silver hatch is dropping the price to 2000

I like teh coop, but you can really beat 2k if its clean.

[badbob2121]

i would say 1 or 2...

but with 1, make sure you ask for any receipts or any actual proof that the motor was rebuilt... theres no reason to trust him

[EfiniRX7]

I would buy the one with the least rust, unless none of them really have any. They should all be clean since they are in Dallas though. You never know, rust can occur for strange reasons some times.

ahhh not really man, only thing i know of is a meet on wednesday nights in Grand Prairie off 360 and mayfield @ the lot next to starbucks. never been there though... used to drive by there alot and want to stop but saw cops there a few times lol stupid honda fan-boys. saw a 240 or two there tho...

[carlos15]

Dang I was hopping there wassomthing cool to do out here in Dallas. And I looked at the silver hatch he did have the reciept for the rebuild no rust some surface rust but there wasn't even rust in the wheel Wells. I'm gonna look at the coupe tommrow is the 5 speed swap hard?? Because u really wanet that coupe. But I'm p
eretty sure I'm gonna meet up wit the Guy wit the hatch tommorow and buy it I hate driving to school in my versa

The first one needs a new Radiator? Carefull with that. cooling issues could go alot deeper than justa radiator.

[Flicktitty]

I would get 3.

In my experiance a 5spd swap is not THAT complicated and parts are all over everywhere to put a 5spd swap together, even if YOU can't do the swap i bet there are local members who could help you.

Usually automatic 240sx's aren't beat on nearly as much as your typical 5spd ones, and to me that is a HUGE selling point, plus it is a coupe, and it looks pretty clean.

yeah it is rlly clean. but idk anybody around here in dallas to help me do the swap im kind of scared of doing one becasue ive never messed with transmission stuff. but im guessing a shop could do the swap for me if i looked around. but idk yet im debating beetween the hatch or the coupe.

[laxands13]

dude i would do number 3. i think its worth it, even rolling around automatic for a while wouldnt be the worst thing ever (but it would suck). its awesomely clean though
