True, my Crown Vic served me well in college. Actually one of the more reliable cars I've had. Never once stranded me.

Now I am looking deeper into the 240sx. If I could find a clean one, its nice and I would love to have rwd.

240s are common enough that you can find non-rice. I remember the saga with the Prelude.

You want a challenge? Find an Integra GSR sedan that is stock. I dare you. I would consider one for a DD when my AMG sells, but it's freaking impossible to find one that doesn't have a fart can, decals, or nahhhhhhhhhhs. There's a lot of stupid people out there.

You should also look at the newer Sentra SE-R Spec V. They're easy to find in the $6k range, and the Spec V models have a 6-speed and LSD. Ford Focus SVT and Mazdaspeed Protege are other good ones. They're all just expensive enough that many are still stock. The retards seem to like the under $5k cars.

Example of your average 240sx advertisement:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___NISSAN-240SX-R33-GTR-GTS-T-CONVERSION_W0QQitemZ330294495199QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q2 0TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks ?hash=item330294495199&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

This is what we're dealing with. This car has breaks. You need to bit with confidence. One of the most performance cars on the street. Grey metallic collor. Wheals.

This is what keeps me away from the Japanese stuff.

Oh, another to add is the Ford Contour SVT. Don't laugh, they were hailed as one of the best handling FWD cars ever when new. Perfect ones can be found for under $5k.

Looks to have the fake brembo calipers too.

+1 on the Ford Focus SVT. I almost bought one. It was a sweet car.
