Default What car should I buy?

I have 4 available to me.
1. 1992 Nissan 240sx automatic, 100k miles, $2450, AC black
2. 1990 Honda Prelude Si 2.0, 5 speed, 156k miles, $2450 AC red
3. 1990 Honda Prelude Si 2.0, automatic, 140k miles, $1400 AC white
4. 1990 Honda Civic Hatch STD, 5 speed, 253k miles, $1900 AC red

all the bodies and interiors are stock and mint for the most part, except the Civic, messed up drivers seat but thats it.

Thanks for the opinions
Jon

Doesnt matter why, just let me know which one! And yes, they are all at used car dealerships and I am not expecting to pay that much for any of them. The only one not at a dealership is the 1990 Prelude Automatic, thats private party. Also, they are clean, no rust at all, no mods, nothing, its not like I am going to pay 2500 for some crappy crx thats rusted out where I cant open the hood, so who cares if it has a b20 right? There are too many people who think there cars are worth too much and most of the time, they did the work themselves, and didnt do a good job, ive seen too many cars that could have been really nice but someone turned them really rice.

why dont u get a 4th gen prelude then? i mean if u HAVE to, then the 240's the best imo. but im saying there's more options out there for the style of car u want (coupe) theres some small project cars out there. like a theft recovery w/ motor still intact.. that kinda thing where u just have to add a bit of work into it. gL

Where do you find those, theft recovery vehicles, from? police auctions and salvage yards? Any names of good places would be great, thanks

ur in a diff state, so u have to really search urself. but for cali there's gov. auctions for public, dealers who have access to dealer-only auctions but will do private jobs for a fee, people who buyback their vehicles (a lot of theft recovery cars around here) and all that. or there's people who are getting a new car, sick of annoying problems and all that. 240's here are 2k assembled, 600$ for a shell w/ longblock+tranny included some times. look into 4th gens.. good starter car + platform. and u can meet the rest of the family A__A

If you want RWD, get the Nissan. If you don't need RWD and like good handling, get the #2 Prelude.
