Ok, here is my dilemma.
Currently I have an 89 240 currently for sale..And im trying to get some funds together to move back up north. I have a few options...

A. Sell car to guy for $1100.. take cash and get plane ticket. Save money, buy a reliable car.

B. Trade car to guy with another 240 with ca18 that has minor body damage, needs new turbo, and exhaust. He would also give me $200 Drive that 530miles and be where i need to be..

Kind of at the point where I dont know what to do..
Just looking for some ideas here..

Im trying to get out of here by the end of this month...

i would give cliffs... but its organized enough. lol.

I'd sell it rather then trade for a car that needs a new turbo and exhaust.

sell the car. fly there. or buy a reliable car and drive. dont take it. and spend money on it, just to get it drivable..

Sell it. Why would you trade your unreliable 240 for another unreliable 240?

sell it, cash is always best, then you have options. you dont have much options when you have a beat up car + no cash

The only reason i was thinking of a trade, is so i could be able to drive to and from work, once i get there..
I guess ill just bum rides or something.

240's are great cars when you have money to keep them running. i say sell the car. take the bus and save up money. there will always be 240's for sale.

sell the car, get the money, buy a lot of red bull and cocaine and walk to where you are trying to go, hell you could turn off your internet service and probably save enough money for a nice motorized razor scooter.......

just a thought

sell it to get up there.. cut back on bills/phones/internet.. pick up a bike, if you live close enough ride it to work etc.. good luck!

Or if you know this car iwll make it up there, get the car, limp it, hopefully it wont require $$$ maintanance.. you will need a car no matter what.. if you have a few hundred bucks wiht you , you should be safe..

It would cost you more to get another s13 and drop a ca18 into it.. gotta be some reason why a guy wants to give it to you for another s13.... maybe its a POS?
