Message: <blockquote data-quote="Temujin" data-source="post: 4441478" data-attributes="member: 6472">You can find a 180SX/S13 for around 40k if ur lucky as these cars do turn up around that price once in a while.. there was once a 180SX sold at ~38k.. BUT do not think it would be in mint condition, definitely need some extra cash to make it right..A31 is a good choice.. for 40k u could get a sorted and very well maintained & modded car.. expect a 2.0L or even a 2.5L turbo engine.. BUT with power comes high fuel costs and maintenance..In response to your friend's claim of A31s "makan minyak", it is not fair to generalise all A31s to be doing that.. what does the fellow mean by "makan minyak" anyway? Is it consuming engine oil or fuel? Pistons consuming engine oil would suggest possible engine problems but consuming fuel like nobody's business is.. kind of normal if it is modded for high power applications.. It all depends on how the car is modified and tuned, so give the finger to your friend.. LOLI once had a 180SX for a daily driver, and cost of fuel and maintenance (not to mention modding) is expensive.. Worse still is when the car is stuck at the workshop for modification or repair works, definitely will make it hard for me to go to work (I was single at that time, so I don't really mind taking public transportation as well as eating maggi 3 times a day)..I now have a Livina daily driver and a 32GT-R as a weekend car.. the 32GT-R does carry the same expensive fuel, maintenance and modding costs but as a weekend car, costs can be managed better and does not disturb my daily duties (work, send kid to school etc) which literally means I could afford to let the car sit idle at home while I find the money to mod summore..My advise to u is, ur still young and not a lot of cash to burn.. for 40k your options are fairly limited especially if the car is to be driven daily.. Keep the Vios, get a dirt cheap car (eg KE70) to play with (drift if it is your cup of tea) and keep the rest of the money and invest for the future..BUT if you cannot tahan and too gatal to get another sports car, then your options would be also fairly limited.. might be so-so condition 180SX/S13, R32 (maybe.. but these days R32 prices have gone up steadily to 5xk already.. crazy), RX-7 FC3S as well as old skool sports cars such as Toyota Celicas/Supras (old skool ones aa.. not the JZA80)..Unless, you could afford to use the 40k as a downpayment and get a car loan by which you could have an ER34 Skyline or S15 Silvia (still depends on your bank credit valuation as well as amount of loan needed).. or maybe an MR-S perhaps.. Personally, for that amount I'd rather get a BMW E30 2-door coupe with 2.5L NA (or an SR20 if u don't mind a Japanese engine in a BMW) by which you could perhaps find for around 20-30k...Cheers dude..</blockquote>
