the one

hello, my name is paul and i have finally found the car of my dreams. I once had dilusions of an 4age dream, but the price for a 200,000 mile,beat up car was way to much. Then there was the starquest fast for low buck, until you have to fix it. Then I drove my friends 240sx/180sx hatch. simple 1.5" drop with KYB AGX's, brembo crossdrilleds, and metal master pads, and a completely stock motor tranny setup(exept the lsd) is all it took to put a grin on my face ear to ear. So now i am trying to forfill my dream by selling my starquest and my 95 s10 for the dream. A '91-'94 240 hatch, gotta be an SE, for the heat is too much to bear right now ( 90 degrees!!). So this i my story that i share with you in hopes that everyone that reads this will be inspired to help those less fortunate than us(a.k.a. thos who don't have a friggin' clue!) to find out about these awesome cars!! thank you for your time

I think I bought the only good local one.. a blue '90 hatch, but I sold that to a friend. I went to Plainfield, NJ to get the one I have now. I know I have seen a couple good hatches, but they weren't for sale.

For a '93 I've seen as low as $1800 and IMO shouldn't be more than $3500 in really good condition.

I was offered $11,000 (Canadian; so about $8,500 US) for my '93 Fastback...turned it down though, since I'd just bought it!

No mods to it yet except a stereo system and alarm, either. The reason for the offer was the condition and low mileage; at the time (about 2 months ago) it only had 60,000km's on it (37,500 miles) - 64k now.
