so my 240 has been stripped of everything and now im looking for another car. what should it be ? of course the restriction is that i dont have all the money in the world. price range is like at about 3-4k. id want another 240 of course, BUT i dont want one as well. i want something cheap... but of course will last.

one of the reasons why i dont want another 240 is because my brother says not to. i mean, my 240 was stolen outside, theves werent caught so if they see another 240 they'll be wanting that one as well. i never really fixed up my car so im not looking to mod the hell out of it, just something to get me to school and back. i dont want a civic... i want a nissan ! any suggestions? main thing i want in a car, is all the power options and it to be a stick :)

200SX SE-R? FWD is the suck, but hey, cheap, SR20 runs forever, quick, 5spd. That's my suggestion. Though a 240 is always fun, but your luck doesn't seem to go along with that train of thought.

Yeah, they didn't...he got *** raped WITHOUT the lube. My suggestion is that you might be better off to get another 240...I mean they seem to have taken everything off of yours that theyc ould possibly want for the foreseeable future!

FARK. They took it ALL. Man... On the bright side, maybe you could find and engine and transmission and voila! You have a stripped, track-ready 240SX!

I think you should just get the car you want and not worry about someone possibly stealing it.

You could get something really crappy and then *maybe* it would be safe from thieves, but there's no guarantee there. My fiance's '91 Ford Escort was stolen right in front of our house. Luckily it was recovered with only a bit of damage, but they could have easily crashed it or torched it after the joy ride.

You can get a pretty cool car for 3-4K. Don't limit yourself based on what someone else may or may not do.

If you can find one at the right price and you still like 'em, get a 240SX. Hell, maybe you could find an older N/A 300ZX in that range. Just find a car in decent condition that you can afford the insurance on.
