^^^ That is my plan. However, I paid $3100 + taxes for my 240sx. I looked up the trade in value for it, and it looks like a 170,000mile 5 speed LE in great condition (plus spoiler rust and torn seats) goes for $740. I laughed when I saw that. At best, I can expect $1600 for private party sales. Screw that.

I was hoping to get $2500, plus about $1000 of my own cash for a total of $3500 for the miata. Than about $1500 for the turbo kit and a tuneup.

I guess I may have to get the cheapest POS miata I can find, leave it stock, and drive it in the summer and the 240sx in the winter. Damnit.

I'm still gonna test drive the ones I was looking at and see what I can get for my S13....
