Hard times... please help

I've been saving and saving and I will have about $3500 by the end September. I've also been looking and looking for a 1990-1993 240 coupe for a month or two. The ones near me are all automatic, some are too far, and some are damn expensive. I've looked at the basic places such as carbuyersmarket.com, ebay, autotrader, etc. Please help me. If you see any coupes in your area that are in good condition, let me know. Also, do you guys know any other sites that I might not have tried. Thank you.

Be more patient and settle for a hatch.

Patience is a hard and unforgiving virtue. Simply put, I ain't got it. I don't know why but I just love the coupe to death. It is soooo beautiful...to meee. If worse comes to worse, I'll end up getting a hatch. Thanks you two .

If you do feel like buying a coupe and don't want it to be auto but it has to be, I know a great place that does the tranny swap for you. It would be even cheaper if you did an SR20 swap. I am getting an SR20DET with Greddy downpipe, Greddy front mount, LSD and tranny for 4150. A buddy of mine did the motor, tranny(auto to a 5 speed), LSD, and downpipe from Greddy for only 3400 flat...Augusta Customs (www.2fastparts.com)

Yeah. But I need to get the number because I'm to cheap to pay 50 cents for the newspaper. Put it up for me.

Dorifto! That's crazy cheap (to me). So, shops can do a 5 speed conversion with a sr swap...hmmmmm. That's good to know.

Oh yeah. Exactly 6 minutes ago, I just bought $240.00 woth of books and that sucks. Oh, and some dude in Bridgeport, Conneticut just e-mailed me about his 240. The only problem I have is that he said it is a sedan. What the hell is a 240 sedan? I think he meant coupe. My uncle is gonna check it out for me, hopefully. Bridgeport is a thorough city and I ain't going by myself.
