The good thing is atleast you have a car.  You should have enough for a 95-96.  I wouldn't worry to much about mileage since these cars tend to handle it pretty well (depending on the previous owner).  I got my car for $3700 and it has high mileage, but its running great and no leaks or problems.

BTW, the car in my sig is the Z-edition (not Sportsline)  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

Cool, you're in VA so I guess I can actually keep an eye out for one.  With the money that you're getting, you should have enough for an S14, no problem.  I'll let you know if I find anything.

He never said anything was wrong with it.  It's just that there really isn't the kind of aftermarket for them that there are for 240's therefore they aren't as much fun because they have no performance value whatsoever.

I had no idea you're from VA.  I live in Woodbridge and I found my car at an independent dealer in Mannassas(sp), right in the cut between some building.  You can always check independent dealers to see what they offer.  I remember seeing a S-14 in Woodbridge, but it got sold in one week.  But I did see a S-13 fastback (i dunno if its still here)....also one at the junkyard without any missing parts, but it must have a blown engine.  It still here, in fact its less than a mile from my place.
