    Default My introduction to the common car world..

    Traded the Millenia for a '89 240sx to be a DD. It's got 148k, and runs pretty damn good.

    As far as plans:

    Find some wheels for it, and fix the exhaust leak. That's about it. The single is staying.







    One of my favorite parts of the car. Clean interior!

    Why, Dee, why did you get rid of your car for that? Took yourself straight down a notch or five.

    You still have the 323, yes? Later, QD.

    Not bad looking at all. I have considered one of these for a daily driver while the Accord is being finished.

    people like to drive a car with potential, regardless of whether they ever complete it or not... they like to fantasize about what they can or would do to a vehicle. A Mazda millenia has none.... and a 240...... well.......

    I respect your opinion, lolol. A Millenia can be a much better looker than a 240. My opinion of course, sir. To me his Millenia was more desirable than any 240 I've ever seen. Later, QD.

    I loved the millenia. It's such a smooth car. It has a lot of potential, but aftermarket is so scarce for it. I pretty much had no choice but to go VIP, which is way out of budget. I wouldnt mind having another when I can afford to do what I really want to it.

    Also it gets 17mpg. Lol thanks for the comment everyone.

    to each is own, but there's a reason a 240 has as much aftermarket as any car ever made.....

    Yet the end result is, as always, opinion based. Later, QD.

    Looks identical (well almost) to my first 240sx. Seems like a good starting point! Just keep that $$$ handy because every 240 ive ever owned has been an enormous money pit (but also not stock)

    Opinion of marketers, manufacturers and race car drivers when they chose to build, sell parts for and drive 240s over Millenias.

    I'm talking about the end end result. The person driving the car. Even with all the accessories and such for the 240, I'd still take the Millenia 100% of the time. All I need is a nice set of wheels and a lowered center of gravity and good. Later, QD.
