With that much you should be able to find a fairly good condition S13.  Just go to www.autotrader.com and look in there.  Other than that just keep your eyes peeled for anything.

in time you will find one dont complain that it takes time you'll be more satisfied in the end.

search the net shit look for one a max of 200 miles away thats not that far of a drive i always look for cars that far away.

Look farther away. &nbsp;Check Cars.com too. &nbsp;good site. &nbsp;

I had to drive from Charlotte, NC to Atlanta, GA for mine.. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

Dont complain until you live in CO where there are maybe 0-3 240's in the paper at any given time.

Be like me and drive across country for a 240 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

have you looked in the recycler? I was looking at it online on tues and there were like at least 5 or 6 cars in our area SoCal listed in your price range. www.recycler.com
P.S. I looked for 3 months for a really nice low mileage 91 S13 Hatch and finally picked up an Auto with 19,144 miles on it in Hollywood for $3900. That car is now a 5 speed with VLSD with suspension and it has 31,000 miles <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> ya I drive a lot.
they are availible here in Socal we actually have quite a few of them and in the $2500 range there is a good selection with around 100-140,000 miles .

yeah right... you just wanted a projects car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

DC is the same way and our population is probably bigger than your whole state. &nbsp;I looked for more than a month and only found three s14s - one Zenki that sold 2 hours before I got there and a Zenki and Kouki (both autos!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>. &nbsp;There were two s13's in the paper during this time (one $4K, the other $4995!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> - they weren't selling. &nbsp;

I drove about 100 mi. to get mine (after looking at others up to 150 mi. away!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Hey keepitmovin

try looking in your local papers and ads. Autotrader.com is a good site but sometimes they take a while to update their pages and sometimes they advertise cars that are already sold (personal experience). Just look at all the local papers. I just got my 240 (1990 hatch w/sport pkg. $2400) and it took me almost 2 months. I was looking everywhere especially autotrader I even went 20 miles to look at this POS 240, but in the end I bought it from a guy only like 3 blocks away LOL. Just hang in there and the perfect one will come.

nah man, looking for a 240 is hard, i had to go through that too, you'll find one, jus keep looking cuz they move.. so once one is on sale it will be gone in a week, you gotta act fast d00d
peace
good luck
