If your parents will buy it for you, GET IT.

Seriously.

Something you will most likely never have to worry about, considering this is going to be your daily driver.

But just for some light reading in case you really want to. HICAS, by wikipedia

They might. It's my senior year and I still haven't got a car yet(we moved 2 times throughout my highschool career) and I need a job so I can kind of prepare myself for living on my own and such.I'm just gonna ask my parents "what do i have to do to get this car" and do whatever it f***ing takes It's only $4000 too so it's not like it's expensive. The only things that I think can stop me from getting the car is my mom or if the guy sells the car to someone else.

Wow, that looks like if it broke, it'd be hella hard to fix. I hope the car doesn't have that!

Move quickly. That car is likely to sell fast.

And Hicas, while annoying, isn't all that bad. There are easy ways to disable it.

Only fastbacks came with the Super HICAS package afaik.

Besides the taillights, that car is too nice for a new driver... but chances are if you don't buyt it some other bandwagoneer will and f*** it up just same as a newb, so whatever.

f*** it.. you should learn to drive without ABS, otherwise you wont ever learn how to properly brake and know what to do when the brakes lock..

ABS is 4 vaginas

dude id get it. im 17 and i just got my second 240. but ya dont wreck it. my first car was a "nice" civic worth about 5k and i totalled it 2 months after i got it and i felt like s*** about it. so take it easy like ole dude said up there and get the feel for it before u start doing some more intense driving. and dont worry about rwd until u get a LSD then it gets interesting.

Things that can be fixed, the radio is easy peezy stuff. super240sx7185, what exactly is wrong with the A/C? Any ideas?

Karma, talk to your dad. All used cars are going to have their problems here and there. I like the car, real clean.
