S13: Hatch/Fastback v. Coupe
Which one has more Nawz???
No, honestly, I prefer the coupes. The hatchbacks look kinda ricey IMHO and I see too many of them around here that deserve to be crushed. (BIG nissan symbol on every window and 12" exaust)
But for you I'd say do a little research on each, there are relativly few (I didn't say none) differences between the 2 besides cosmetics.

The reason I first asked this question was because I found 2 240s
~One was a Coupe with SR for 7,000
~The second was the hatch but the KA is gone already and its still 2,000
The like the hatch better but I think its a little too pricey for the fact that theres no engine in it. And the Coupe looks really good too and it has an SR already, But the Coupe has a few dents, needs another paint job, and I really want to try to get the SR on myself... So I just couldn't decide which I should get.
S13 240, and 12rine I have a lotta respect for you guys, so I don't wanna sound like a dumbass. But its all I could think about lately so I just figure that people telling me which they like better would help me decided.

I personally prefer the fastback .. however i love coupes too.
I would go with that coupe dude, sounds like a way better deal. IF you don't know anything about engines and/or tuning.
However, if you get the fastback, that would save 5,000. with that money you could buy a Ka24de, turbo it, and then still have some extra to dick around with. You'd also be making more power, and torque with the Ka-T.
You could get more power, and better looks with the fastback/ Ka-T combo, however it is your choice.

I do know that the 240s are overpriced but I'm in desprate need of a car... I was slowly looking for one for a while now and these 2 are the best that I've found... I mean its quite sad that I need to ask my girlfriend's mom to take me to work...

Personally I think both the Coupe and the Hatchback are sexy in their own right...it also depends what/how u dress it up.
I would definitely take a closer look at both cars because you can never be too sure whats going on with the car.
The Coupe with the SR20 for $7000...find out where he got the swap done (professionally or in his garage with buddies drinking beer). There could be problems with the engine, internals, so many things could be wrong with it. Personally I would rather buy a cheap car with a burnt out engine and buy the SR20 and have it installed by someone I know and trust. That way I know for sure whats in the car and the condition of it. Ever heard of buying a lemon? Be even more careful when buying a car with engine swaps, custom work etc etc
The Hatchback for $2000 with burnt engine...thats way too much unless it comes with performance exhaust, performance suspension, or rims and tires, bucket seats etc etc.
Personally, decide what you want out of it. I like both cars but personally because I do drive alot and play sports and go camping/cottaging, mountain biking I would choose the Hatchback because you got lots of space back there to haul stuff.
Good luck and I'm sure either way your not going to be disappointed in either car....you get out of it what you put into it, right? Cheers!

given your options, talk the FB guy down to $1500 (assuming the shell is in GOOD condition) and call it a day. Otherwise, where are you located? Seriously both those options do not sound like they are worth it. Can you get pics? Depending on your location, if you search enough you should be able to find a better deal... honestly I see 240 hatches for sale like everywhere [or relatively close].
No s13chassis is worth $7000 with an RB, SR or KA-t. The chassis is older and not as rigid as it use to be unless the person also built up the frame a bit. IMO I wouldn't pay over $4000 for a well maintained s13 turboed or not.
If the other s13 has a fried engine tell the seller $1000, or he can shove the car up his A$$.
