Yeah the 240sx is a good idea...taht car is stylish...

RSX would be nice..but I am starting to get bored of its look....
an Old SiR is nice...
the New SiR is nice too..but you got to lower it......

I would definatly look into getting an ITR if you're buying something used. Other then that, I'd get an RSX or even the SiR.

I agree about the RX-7 and the 240SX. I've always wanted a Sylvia. But If I get one I want the full conversion, with the SR20DET. If I did that swap would I be able to pass emissions? Cause there's a 240 in the west end going for $10-11k I think. All the other ones I've found are all automatic. As for the RX-7, There's no way I'm paying $20,000 for a 93 w/ over 115k's on it.

25K could easily net you a 1st year used is300, no doubt thats what i'd go for. in fact i think that's be the next car i get in 3 years when i'm done payin for this one. they're only 46k brand new.

IS300 to Altezza swap is sweet. Never even thought about that one. How much are they used w/ ok mileage?
