I don't know about having it until i am really old but i am going to keep my 240 when i get a new car, and probably make it a project car down the road and re due everything.

Bbandit · 02-16-2003, 06:19 PM

i love the car
but i dont know if i can keep it forever...
i want to but i dont know
lets just wait and see

I'd like to keep the car forever...but thats also what I said when I bought my previous car. If my car isn't boosted in a few years, I'll probably sell it. If I do sell the 240, I'd get an RX-8, M3, or a 350Z. But a 300whp KA-T would be more satisfying than those, to me anyway. Damn I hate talking about selling the 240.

I'll keep my car forever. Seriously. It's worth nothing at all because of the miles and mods so there would be no point. And I always have a place to store it. So unless it's totalled in a wreck, I'll be paying $20 a gallon when I'm 60 years old, when I should have bought one of those cold fusion cars.

Exactly my car really isn't going to be worth much anyway when i am going to buy a new car so as long as i have a place to keep it i will. It really isn't worth too much now i think the last time i checked Kelly blue book it was worth like 3g's or somthing.

**Phlip** · 02-17-2003, 12:29 PM

I'll keep mine because it won't be worth a damn thing to anyone but me, non factory color and it's been wrecked... Besides that, it is my favorite car I have owned too, so that decision is a little easier...

Steeles · 02-17-2003, 12:45 PM

mine will probably die some horrible flaming death or be put out to pasture with my supra and the other 240(Z)

Natty · 02-17-2003, 12:52 PM

I'll have mine for a long long time. It's not worth anything to anyone else, but it is still worth alot ot me.
I'll continue to repair it even when KBB is like $500. It makes me happy.
Won't always be my only car though.
If it gets really bad, I'll junk it

you can burn the supra if it'll make you feel better. pops is anxious to get rid of it. I either need to find an engine or junk it. I want Jason t oget busy and let me have the engine out of that SC3 out there. dump the supra on some Blingin 18s and pimp wit it

**Phlip** · 02-17-2003, 05:16 PM

I think I know someone with a 91 supra he'd probably let go of for cheap, runs well too...

Steeles · 02-17-2003, 05:38 PM

if I buy anything cheap it'll be a 240 hatch.... gotta talk my brother out of his.. it's wrecked and SCREAMING for a kit and sum love. hell the engine is technically mine anyway. but god I think I could rum eight bottles of febreeze through it and STILL not get the weed smell out of it.

fastpace · 02-17-2003, 06:06 PM

I told myself about 6 months ago once I get my 240 I am not going to sell any of my cars. Besides I love doing work on the car and learning quite a bit from it.
