So my project 240's are all less than reliable, and now that I got a raise at work, im thinking of buying a more reliable car so my projects can be 100% dedicated.

Im looking for somethign a little sporty, but roomy wouldnt be bad...something definately a bit quick, and with someone who offers a good warranty. Ive never bought a "new" car so i dunno much about it, and im looking for some help.

I have heard to stay away from brand new, as they lose value real quick, and get something thats been out for a little while.

I also really dont know how much car payments are, so if anyone can give examples of what you may pay that would be cool.

 

If i was you i'd get a truck. So you would be able to haul parts/cars around e.t.c.

 

Trade craig_302 for his super clean GS-T with ice cold A/C

 

you my good friend are a fucking genius

 

Get a Toyota Primus.......60mpg!

 

Thanks, Get a frontier, or tacoma (the toyotas i know are very reliable tough trucks , i hear the same about the nissans as well) 4cyl frontier , good on gas , strong e.t.c. I've heard bad things about s-10's and rangers.

 

get a nissan hardbody so you can ditch the 240 project by accident and keep it nissan at the same time

 

if you're going truck, my frontier has towed a 240sx on a hydraullic tailer back from burmingham. and recently hauled a 280zx over the skyway, plenty of power, and im sure the new 4.0liters are a LOT better! My truck has been through a lot, and its not too bad on the trail either! I love my truck. If you're gonna go car, get a Maxima, nice and quick and lots of room. Thats my opinion.

 

stay away from GM, and especially that 4.3L V6 in the jimmy/s-10 whatever else- they come broken from factory.

 

they don't come broken, GM is just more loose with their Factory tolerances than everyone else. The 4.3L is basically a sbc 350 minus 2 cylinders and plus a balance shaft...so they're bad on gas mileage, and loud...and I don't think he be asking about GM in the Nissan/Infiniti Tech forum.
