selling my s13, what should i buy?

i'm selling my s13 b/c it has a serious rust problem on the frame rails, and surface rust in many other unseen places.

OPTION #1-
91-93 s13 240sx
good looking body, more tossable than s14a, lighter than s14a

97-98 s14 240sx
newer, less mileage, ok looking but nothing spectacular

93-95 mr2 N/A

Since this is a 240 board it'd be kinda boring to pick the 240 so I say RX-7.

lets try and keep it realistic. i'm a college student, not the CEO of microsoft.

i'm looking for a car that i can drive everyday on the street, and that i can switch rims and take it to the track on weekends. i'm not gonna touch the car in winter or on rainy days.

how are 1st or 2nd gen. rx-7s? i don't really know to much about the older ones.

mr2's u have to keep droppin the darn engine to work on... might be bothersome unless ur a mechanic or u have a lift.. seeing that ur not a microsoft ceo... is that not reasonable either? a mr2 would probably be my choice its a well balanced vehicle..

u didnt give anyone a budget.. hee hee.. thats why they're tellin u skyline's and rx7's... remember we all have BIG imaginations.. and if our dreams say u need a skyline.. then thats what we'd say right.. hehe..

i've heard that rx7's require on schedule servicing.. u cant just miss a oil change otherwise say bye bye to ur engine.. but i've also heard that rx7 engines are dispensable.. cheap(in japan)

might also wana look into insurance and maintanence rates.. u already know what to expect from your s13 right...
