The_buster Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 O.k. so I'm looking at getting a car when taxes get here, should be sometime next week. So I've been looking on CL for a while and have it narrowed down to three cars. I thought I would post the ad links here and see what the feedback is. Also if any of these cars belong to anyone on here I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just not that car savy and don't know what to watch out for other than rust buckets.. The first car is a integra.. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2795447318.html the second is an eclipse.. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2782981785.html and the third is a 240sx.. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2803836519.html I guess what I'm wanting is some input on whether one is better than the others. Also before anything is said about the color of the integra... i like orange. thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm not even looking at the CL links, but I would go 240 all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) that dude with the 240 sucks dick at taking pictures. It looks beat honestly. the 240 would probably go the longest, but your best bet it the eclipse if you wanna go fast. Love me that body style.

CRed05 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Eclipse I guess. Has nice looking seats and some kind of turbo kit ??? What's the main goal here? DD? Something to mess with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 What are you looking to do with this 1500 car? Are you looking to buy and drive it into the ground or do you have additional money to throw into it? Daily? Because race car? what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russian rocket Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 definitely the eclipse! has a front mount with no turbo installed! thats 1.8 liters of intercooler madness right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 beaters ftw edit: but all of those look like they'll need twice as much to keep running within the next 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Generally speaking trying to get a beat dick "race car" on the cheap is going to reveal problems quickly. If you are looking down the road, for reliably, go with tried and true boring daily. Civic, camry, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Of the three, the Acura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I was leaning more toward the integra to begin with.. but then saw the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Why is this even a question? You are always talking about drifting and shit and now you are ready to buy a car and you're comparing to an Integra and Ecplise? Get the damn 240, weld the diff, toss on some cheap coilovers and drift it. Stop procrastinating and jump on it dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I wouldn't buy any of them. They are all beat to piss and look like shit. Save a little longer and buy something you won't have to sink a BUNCH of money into right after you buy it...or every few months just to keep it running....

greg1647545532 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'd normally say Integra, but repaints suck, and the one you posted looks beat to shit. The Eclipse is just buying someone else's problems. Of the 3, the 240 is the only one that looks like anyone even attempted to maintain it.

The_buster Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 i talked to the guy with the 240 and hes gonna try to hold it. he does have a couple people looking at it over the weekend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 the 240 has eibach springs and tokico shocks on it.. but theyre old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 240 all day...that is pretty cheap considering all of the fanboys snatching them off the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Run away from the eclipse. The other options suck, but less so. Of the three I would grudgingly pick the 240. I have learned the hard way not to buy something that has been riced out in any way. Expect it to have been owned by a broke dick loser with no concept of maintenance. That steal of a deal will turn into a broken down money pit in a hurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bastard Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 240, I like the dsm, but it would only be worth it with a 4g63 for building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
