A couple 240sx Questions(need some advice)

[Nihsnek]

Hello,First off, I am still a "idiot" when it comes to cars, yet I am trying to learn more and more every day.
Anyways, I was recommended to check out Nissan's 240sx models for my price range and currrent goals in becoming a tuner.
Ok, so, my price range is about $7,000ish(hopefully I can get one for a little less..maybe). What do 240sx's(decent condition, no high-miles, good daily drivers) run for? (USD $$)
Second, how's the current tuner community and market like? I know there's a pretty big 240sx fan base, yet what is the availability for mods and oem parts...and help installing, etc.?
Third, all-around, is the 240sx a pretty sturdy car? I'm more friendly with Hondas(only thing i've ever had), so I don't know the quality/lifespan of an older Nissan.
Lastly, which year/specific model would you personally recommend for me?
-Will use as a daily driver
-I will most likely mod it, yet with taste(no god awful horrendous body kits, etc.)
-I am not rich, so I can't afford expensive maintance bills
-I like all the body styles, so that's not a factor
Well, thanks in advance for any advice I may receive...one of the main reasons I came here is because of the large numbers of knowledgable people.
