240SX2S15 · 12-13-2002, 01:10 PM

Hey Im stuck on deciding what type of car I should get. I love the 300Z but the 240SX there is something about them. I like the older style S13 and the newer ones. But I was wondering as the years past does it take a lot of money and time to maintain a 240SX. I mean like expensive stuff like tranny and checkups. I'm looking at this black S13 with gray cloth with 78K for 3200. I mean it is nice but Im still stuck on the drifting look I mean drifting scope of things. Also wheres a good place to order all these parts because do they start to break down at like 100K or what. Thanks for your help.

drifting isnt something you'll learn over night. its a dedication beyond the average person. when you meet your first curb and drop a wheel somewhere off the road, you'll understand

as far as s13s and z32s, s13s are FAR cheaper for maintenance. most the stuff can be done your self if you somewhat mechanically inclined or have friends who are. its a cheap car you can beat on all day and still drive home pleased. it is like any other car in that constant maintenance keeps it alive. if you plan on drifting, be planned on replacing parts more often as well.
good car. just depends what you do with it.
