The lineup and a ?

Alright I realize I am not gonna find a 240 in Wisconsin. They just don't exist.At least I can't find any. So i've done some talking and a car dealer/ body repair shop in my town says they can ship one for me anywhere from $300-$900. And since my Dad lives in Florida ive expanded my search. This actually works out great. It means lower chance of rust, and it seems like they are a little cheaper in Florida.Still have not decided between s13 or s14. Here are some S14's Im looking at. I havn't called on these. But they look clean in the pictures. The bottom 2 look a little to good to be true.Tell me what u think.

1.95 Se 79,000 miles 5spd asking 5300

2.95 Se 98,000 miles 17" chrome rims not sure if auto or manual. Alson not impressed with rims, but could sell them. asking 5000 obo.

3.95 90,000 miles auto, body kit, big rims not sure of size but they look nice. Some damage to front and spoiler. asking 4000 obo.

4.96 Se 110,000 5 spd asking 3200.


My question is will 18X7.5 rims with a 40 offset and 215/40 tires fit on either model?

Please give me all ur input. Thanks

4 looks way to good to be true, 1 seems to be the best.

That rim size will fit...it wont necessarily look good, it will look "sunken" in, espically if the car is lowered. A 30+ offset would be awesome

I called all 4 cars. They are all sold except the one for $3200. And that one has a salvage title. No thanks.

Well I think I might have found my 240. It is a 93 with 80,000 miles. Very Very clean. The only problem is it is an automatic. It is at a dealership in Florida. They are asking 3900. I think its a little high since ill have to swap transmissions, but I plan on getting it for around 3200-3500. The only thing that sucks is shipping cars out of Florida is rought right now. Since everyones moving for the summer. Hopefully everything turns out alright.

3900 is a bit high for an s13. However if you feel getting one in amazing condition is worth the extra money, go for it. Just make sure getting the car in great shape is work the money because you could easily get an s13 for 1500-2500 which would save you a lot of money to start working on it.

Side note: I tend to avoid auto-manual conversions as it is just an extra headache. You will have enough car-induced headaches that you don't need to be worrying about how your car is gonna be shifting aswell.
