some advice on gettin a celica Options

[DriftMotion]

here is the situation, i found this 95 red celica with 164k selling for $3900

what im thinkin right now is i only have 3k to spend...and im leaning more toward the nissan 240sx
and 164k is somewhat lil high to me

i want the 240sx for its RWD
i dont need a super fast car, just a hatch i can get around places and have some fun with it

good thing about the car is that, the seller is like super close to me, i might go n check the car out later on, mayb next week or w/e, i just saw the ad 2day, so yeah...

tell me why should i get the 6gc over the 240sx

TIA

i've owned two celicas, a coupe and now a hatch. there's a reason i got another one: they're fantastic cars. my old one hit nearly 190k before it was totalled (not my fault), and wasn't showing any signs of slowing down.

mzz is right about power on the motors, but i'd take bulletproof over quicker any day. he's also right about the backseat being pretty much a joke for any passengers older than 6 and the headroom.

from experience:
-starts every time
-never any annoying hvac or electrical issues (my other cars have had 'em, and they're the worst)
-parts are not cheap, but they're very reasonable considering how infrequently they're needed
-really easy to work on--layout and assembly is simple and effective
-looks great--i still have people think my 95 is much newer than it is
-fun to drive without being ridiculous, still gets 26-27 daily mpg (city/hwy combined)
-makes a helluva g-stock autocrosser because of nearly perfect weight distribution and smart susp/brake combo (that's if you choose to get a little rambunctious)

3900 is a little high for the celica, but don't let the miles worry you. as long as it's been maintained occasionally, it will last forever (as compared to say, a vw, which will last forever if you're meticulous and spend lots of $$ on it)

i'd go for the celica. i mean, i did.
