    I wouldn't sell you anyone of my geo anyways. If you have to ask about it then you don't need one.

    horrible cars... very expensive to maintain and own. i'd suggest a honda if you want to really go fast.

    Sounds like your the one that needs to grow up to me. Too damn, lazy to do some research about a car. Asking people if a 240 is good or not.

    +1.. get off you a$$ and do some research geez!!! look to spend around 2500 for a decent 91+ (DOCH or you could get a SOCH not much worse but...) due to DriftFlation (drifting inflation), or get one for cheap that needs a HG or motor or something... they are all over you just have to look... just my .02

    well, mine caught fire today. i was told this was a common problem by the tech at the dealership. better stay away from them, they're a lot like the old exploding pintos.

    See you buy a 240 and it explodes and then the "240SX bad luck" curse follows you and your house explodes.

    Yes the RWD is what makes it unreliable and blow up just randomly.

    Haven't you ever noticed how many 240s you see on the side of the road?

    So you dont know shit about the car but want to get one? So I guess you are looking to jump on the drift bandwagon and buy one just cause you think it will make you cool?

    well if you'd give info like that up front people could make far better recommendations to you. a 240 is not a good gas mileage vehicle nor is it good for carrying a child in between being a 2 door and having auto seatbelts in it.

    If you need good gas mileage definately get a honda.

    I hardly ever hear about them randomly exploding.

    Yeah why do people list a shit load of cars they dont even own? Like anyone on IA cares what cars you had that are sold?

    But now with your Iroc you can be king of your trailer park.

    Probe -- 200
    CRX -- 1200
    Eclipse -- trade
    MR2-- trade
    SHO taurus -- 1300
    Supra -- 500
    Iroc Z -- 1100
    and if i lived in a trailer park because i drive a camaro, there would be a whole lot more trailer parks... camaros are good cars, and the chevy 350 is a good motor... you dont have to hate on me because i cant find an S13 or an AE86 for 1100 dollars in good running condition anymore due to people jacking up the price b/c their "good drift cars".
    BTW Every single one of those cars ran and drove great, with the exception of the probe... the prelude was free, so i sold it running for 200 bux. but once again nice assumption :jerkit:

    My parents didn't help me.

    My mom drove to work every day for my 1st job. I worked made money, bought a 1986 Volvo 240gl, then totaled it. Worked more, made more money. Bought a car, sold it, bought the 240, sold it. Then bought a new car that I love and that I've been able to mod and make fast. All without help from my parents.

    i would have done the same, but my mom works from 6am-6pm... just doesn't work out that well... this camaro should be around for quite some time... i plan to paint it and breathe on the 350 a little bit after i fix the small imperfections... for now it will just be daily driven.
