you never know what dipshit has constantly over revved that motor, what underlying damage there might be, half assed "mods", etc

look for a 240 some drifter kid HASN'T ran into the ground. a car like that will easily cost you much more than intial cost just to get everything right. that thing just seems like someone's old money pit/toy that they either stopped caring about or ran out of money to fix all the shit that broke or they rigged.

240s aren't that expensive or hard to find, save up a lil more and keep searching and I guarrentee you'll thank yourself later for not buying the first thing you laid your eyes on. it's just new car fever, you saw it, it sounds great to you, etc, but once that feeling passes you'll realize you can/could've done better
