Well, my quest for a VE 5-Speed is not going so well. I can get all my mods back off of my old car, but I have to replace them with stock parts. So I have to buy new 3rd gen before the settlement.

I have a few options that I'd like to ask your opinions on:

1. 1993 VE 5 Speed Black on Tan leather 132K in California $3300 plus $500 to deliver it. Nice car, has all service records, but VTC's are ticking.

2. 1993 VE 5 Speed Red on Black Leather 79K can drive back, $4400. Carfax show a possible odometer rollback.

3. 1993 VE 5 Speed White on Black (The perfect replacement), 159K, can pick up (close) $3500, VTC's have been repaired.

4. Sellout --- I am the second high bidder on this car, and the high bidder has not responded. And it's local.

5.1992 VE 5 Speed Black on Black Leather, 132K, $3200, in chicago area, I'd pick it up.

6. A honda....just kidding.

Let me know what you guys think.

sounds like its going pretty good to me, get the #3 one dont worry about the miles either, Ive got 185k and it runs better then my gxe with 110k , it depends on how the car was taken care of,

and IMO I wouldnt buy a modded car, because those mods were on there for a reason, speed mods are to go fast. and you dont want a car that been driven hard(not that jared's was)

I personally like #2, red on black are nice...plus low miles and its ready for you to mod!

hate to say it but that 4th gen is pretty damn nice. . . .

Dude where are you finding all these VE 5spds? They in the Dallas area?

Decide what your ultimate goal is. Are you in love with 3rdGens or are you interested in going the S/C route one day.

There are about 30 or more nationwide, but I eliminated all that are in places far away like NY,NJ,NH,OR,...I am in Texas.

I have also eliminated the people who did not return calls and those that started out with ridiculous prices.

But there are several availible. Just depends on where you are at.

I know you're in North Texas right?

I'm in Dallas so that's why I'm asking.

#2

I think $900 is a good trade for 80K miles.

#2 of course. #1 and #3 have too many damn miles. Nissans run a long time, we all know as the engine ages you're going to have to shell out money to replace things. #2 seems as though it may be a little expensive not, but in the end you could end up saving more because you don't have to do as many repairs. Red with black leather looks good, but to me it stands out as a car that will be stolen. Regardless, my choice would be #2.

I ran a carfax on it, and it had issues (see above where I edited)

You should still go check it out. I mean it could possibly have had odometer rollback, but if you check it out and all seems A-OK then I'd still say it's a good deal rollback or not. Well unless of course the seller/sellers seem shady, shady place, shady records, etc, etc, but that stuff is a given.
