I just was hoping to get some advice from you guys, I have been trying to decide between keeping my current car, a 1989 240sx F/B, or selling it and getting a loan from my parents to buy a 98-01 Toyota Tacoma. I really love mudding and driving on the beach, but I also love my 240sx. My main mindset is that i would like a nice car/truck with nice interior and that looks good. If i get a truck it has to have offroad tires and a little bit of lift. If i keep my car I will need to finish rebuilding my sr20 and put that in. I was planning on spending 10-12,000 on the tacoma, but if i keep my 240 i would just nned to spend whatever it takes to get all this:
Paint Job-$600
New Carpet-$150
S14 Seats+Belts-$250
5-Lug Conversion-$450
300zx Rims-$250
SR20 Gasket Set-$300
SR20 ECU-$300
SR20 Wiring Harness-$200
SR20 Crank Angle Sensor-$150
SR20 Intake Camshaft-$50
Misc. Machine Work-$600
Intercooler-$600
Those are my estimated prices for a total estimated $3900
Please tell me if these prices seem wrong and tell me why cars are better than trucks

thanks alot, i jsut wanted to get my thoughts in writing.
