Need some opinions..

[Guest SweeeetSilvia]

Should I buy it or should I pass?

 

Well most of you know what happened to my car this year, and I have been considering buying yet another 240. This one is from a good trusted friend of mine, Chad.

 

The reason I am giving up on mine is because I have had to many people take advantage of me with it. I spent over 5k on new parts for it and only have about 1k of shit to show for it. (Some of you would know what im talking about). AND the clutch I had put in it went out again (or is going out) and I had only driven it about 200 miles with it. Plus half the time I couldnt even put it in revere e since the day I got it back. SO- I decided fuck that one and have been thinking about this one.

The reason I want your opinion is because I am not a big body kit fan, but it is a genuine Veilside kit.

Ahh that's my buddy Chad Tipple's car. That car is maddd nice. I would definitely buy it. He's put so much money and time into that car. I used to work with him.

Nice car though, but keep looking if you really want something else, search out of state too.

Not really a fan of the Vailside kit (or is it a look alike?) even though they're expensive and some people sweat them. But it looks like a pretty complete car. For the right price I'd say go for it.

Nope it's a real Veilside kit. I think he paid almost 2g's for it.

Not really a fan of the body kit, looks too smoothed out for the rest of the car's body. Doesn't look like it fits together. Thats just my opinion. But, if that one is in good shape and runs well then go for it, if you really don't like it then take it off.

i've seen the car up close, i don't really dig the kit(it does fit well though)personally i'de start(again)with something closer to stock.

[nlc1179]

get it, but take off that body kit

[zeitgeist57]

If you HAVE to get it, you ABSOLUTELY need to get better wheels and tires. The wheel offset is way too weaksauce graemlins/thumbsdown.gif for the width of the car with that body kit.

 

Those wheels would look better on a stock body 240...I'm guessing the owner bought the wheels before the Veilside kit.

[Guest SweeeetSilvia]

Ok well if I keep my car, I can only carry liability, and at that, $1500 worth. So if I get into an accident, I AM getting sued more than likely. Also, I would need someone to build my motor, if I ever get my "new" turbo back.

the mic240

 

lol

 

i like yours 150 times better

[Guest SweeeetSilvia]

chris, did you notice your polishing made it to the october issue of turbo magazine? smile.gif

[Buckeye1647545503]

that one looks like ass next to yours. Just my .02

[Stallion Motorsports1647545491]

It's nice, but something tells me he is looking for a bunch of money.

You car looks better. IMHO a stock 240 looks better than that example. I'd pass.

i agree 100%. a clean canvas will yeild a better picture since you will not have to paint over stuff that is already there. if you get my drift and all.

 

start with a stock one and mod it as you get the money.

[Alex1647545498]

I have to say that yours was much better looking too. But if the price is right then why not. You can always change the look later.
