Default junkyard cars....

[SIZE=7]I've got a problem, er.. a question. One of my friends' is selling a Nissan 300zx, 60k miles, $5g, but my dad told me that my friend bought that from a junkyard. I don't know if i should get that or a prelude for $15g(comes with everything, but some of the stuff is not installed on the car, lol, like the turbo) or should i buy something else. I luv the s2k but i'm only 16 and i don't have a lot of money. Just wondering wut u guys think i should do?

get whatever car is going to be most reliable. It's never fun to be without a car at your age.

The insurance premium on the S will kill you at 16!

Call your insurance agent and get a quote. Then ask what your premium will be after your impending speeding tickets.

I agree. Your first car should NOT be something with enough power to get you in trouble. Regardles sof what you think, you WILL make at least one bad decision while beginning to drive, and it's FWD's predictable handling characteristics and realatively low power that may save you from a wreck.

i would love to get a lude, 300zx(oh ya, i forgot to mention it's a TT z), and a s2k, i guess i'll just find the one that's cheapest, or maybe i could inherit my parents' Plymouth Voyager (i wish they'd gimme that benz )

if you guys , and gals, find a good deal on a car($3-7g) and live around virginia, send me an email at Killashahmafia@yahoo.com
