    Post What should i do with my car...

    should i sell my miata and go for a 240sx or stick it out with the little roadster?

    i found this one i really like the asking price is to high and i could prob talk it down.
    the milage is around 180,000

    now my milage is only 93,000 and my car runs great!

    heres the post

    1995 Nissn 240 SX SE white fully rebuilt motor with 15k, recently replaced automatic transmission with a manual 5 speed, have been unable to find a manual gear sensor so the odometer is reading at about 2 x the miles, not to mention the speedometer is also showing twice the actual speed. Odometer says 210000. Transmission replaced at 194000 actual miles is around 200000. Motor was rebuilt at approximately 185000.
    I have added the following items to the car:
    stage 2 crowler cams,
    five speed light weight flywheel

    1 piece driveshaft,

    I was getting 27 mpg with auto, but have not been able to calculate with the 5 speed,
    New ignintion
    New premium plugs and wires
    All power locks, and windows, sunroof
    Air conditioning works
    blits R-FIT
    255 fuel pump

    So... you want to sell the perfect budget motorsports car with a great chassis, tons of real aftermarket support, not to mentions legions of truely knowledgeable enthusiasts in all facets of motorsports, be it autocross, HPDEs, drifting, for a overpriced jdm fan boy car with limited travel up front and where the aftermarket is diluted with crappy ass parts made to appeal to the wagon jumpers and jdm whores?

    I have an S14, I like it, but if you have a miata you're not missing out much. If something ever happens to my s14 (knock on wood), I'm getting a miata. Great suspension choices (try finding REAL dampers for a 240, not the Japanese low and stiff compression damping all up in your ass crap), great/cheap wheel/tire selections, really one of the most popular budget motorsports cars in mainstream america, without the unwanted attention from thieves.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    I've had the thought, but this s14 is special to me, been with me for a while, and I have put too much money and sweat into it, I know just about every quirk about this car. My point was, if you already have a miata, don't sell it to buy a 240.
