It maybe too high but not bad for me. I couldn't find a coupe around here for a good price that wasn't beaten into the ground. This is gonna be my project, I currently have a '95 VW Golf for my daily driver. It was $3k but I had them upgrade the suspension. But the wheels and tires are brand new and so is the suspension. Thanks for the welcome. I am happy with my purchase.

I actually was unable to get that one since the bank would not approve me for such a rip-off. They wanted too much and I ended up getting this White '92 240sx 5sp for $2,000 and it only has 87k miles on it! The other one was $3,450 and can be seen at xatracing.com.

Its been good so far. I just fixed the brakes and got the oil changed. Next is to replace the head gasket with a better one and install a nice clutch and fly wheel.

Thanks! I am hoping to get some nice JDM wheels soon. I found a few on rbmotoring.com and I was considering the Falken Hanabi 17x9 all around. Just have to wait and see. Only problems so far with this car is that there is a ton of rust, no a/c(yet), motor shakes a lot and its not the motor mounts(can't figure that one out) and the heads up display is inop.

uh... rust is NOT good. But I guess it won't be horrible for you if you stay in FL. Welcome to the forums though.
