I live in San Diego CA. I use to be a member of this forum under the name artforce_s13, and had previously owned 2 s13's...A 93' hatch and a 89' coupe. Both had over 200k miles. Lately the price of gas with my current LT1 daily driver is killing me and my plans to save more money, so as much as I originally wanted to upgrade to an LS1 Camaro, I really wanna get back into the two forty game...I have some concerns however: I think I looked through every major city in California and did not see a single unmolested 5spd s13 with under 150k miles....I only browsed today so maybe I just need to be patient. My dream find would be a s13 Coupe with 5spd and HUD with under 150k miles so as much as I'd like to go this route(and I'm willing to pay) I feel like it will be impossible to find one that wasn't in the hands of some kid or wannabe drifter. Even decent condition s14's seemed impossible to find- if they were, they were automatics. I don't remember it being this bad trying to come up on a gem in 2008 when I bought my last one. Any suggestions where to look besides Craigslist? I don't plan to do any extreme mods. I just want a daily gas saver that's reliable, RWD, fun to drive and to me,nothing comes close to a 240sx in that catagory. Even though I've had some higher mileage ones before, They where more of projects back then, and I'm trying to avoid that now since I have more money to throw down on a car and it's gonna be my only car which I plan to move outta state with. I'm worried about the reliability or a shot suspension. So I'd appreciate any advice on my situation as it's been a while for me with these cars.
