New to 240's need some help.

Ok everyone here's whats up: I am almost 18 and for a year and a half I drove a 91 300ZX Twin Turbo. Long story short I let someone else drive the car, and they wrecked it and now my parents (who paid for the majority of the car) are selling it. I need a replacement vehicle and another Z is out of the question due to insurance and other costs. I did some research and found that a 240 would be a nice substitution, as it doesn't seem to have the major drawbacks of the Z i.e. gas mileage, insane parts prices, and impossible to work in the engine bay. I am not a noob when it comes to forums, but prior to this I was only a member of TwinTurbo.net, so I need a little bit of help. If there is a post or FAQ that explains all the things to look for in a 240, or the pro's and con's of each year/model/trim could someone please point me to it? I know nothing about 240's except that they are good drift cars, rwd, and have a lot of potential. I would be modifying it over time, but nothing too crazy right away, and maybe an engine swap down the road. I am very interested in joining the 240 community and all help is much appreciated.

TIA, Jordan

good choice on the 240... bad choice to let someone drive your car... oh well. Welcome
