here are tha four that i'm lookin at.

1989 Nissan 240sx (auto)~$2000
1989 Nissan 240sx (stick)~$2300
1994 Acura Integra (auto)~$6000
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse (stick)~$6000

I would really like tha Eclipse simply because it's already a M/T but it's a FF layout. So is tha Integra. Tha 240's however are FR. Tha main issue with tha auto tho is that it's been sittin for bout 2 yrs. Tha other one has been in an accident.

Tha Integra and Eclipse are in reletively good condition. I mainly want a car with good tuning potential as far as speed initally. I might dab my finger in some drifting if i get tha 240. also, i'm thinkin bout doing a transmission swap wit either of tha A/T's.

So what should i do?  

I saw be patient and do some more looking.  Go for RWD or a factory turbo FWD.  

the 240 is rwd and would probally make a good tuner car for him
