Aw shit theyre on my gmail
gonna fix that

[niquemarshall]

Well damn guess its not gonna work after all, however i will say that it looks rather great, all trim is there, except on one door, bumper and mirrors are clean, paint is a dark red, similar to a brick (small world lol) paint is faded, interior looks kinda dirty but nothing a vacuum cant fix. Also the shifter is missing the top (it looks like a lolipop stick), driver seat is kinda torn. Not bad for $500

So i found a Datsun B210 for dirt cheap... Its a '76.. i kinda wanna chase it but i wanna get some more infos on it first. Apparently the car had brake work and the paint seems new

Oh and BTW the volvo looks juuuuust like this one (same color, same dent,etc faded paint) i dont really care about paint, i would imagine sanding it down


only noticeable difference btwn this and the one im seeking is that this has steelies, whereas the CL one had the factory alloys

now i guess im down to two choices now..! Datsun or Volvo

[niquemarshall]

Only thing i wouldnt like about the B210 is that since they only had like 60 or so hp, the top speed cant be high at all, and i would like a car that i can cruise in

i used to have a 245 it was the best car i ever owned.

I think im still slanted toward the 245, ive been seeking that one alot longer than the other cars im speaking of.. i want something that i can drive daily and tinker with without having to worry about spending too much money on it lol

I've had both and love both. But if I were to buy another, 2002 hands down.

The 240 will be far more practical and has more, cheap, parts available. 240 will handle rust better than a 2002.

Yea i would loooove a 2002, i have a feeling that the 245 would be the safer bet, ive never seen a junkyard 2002... Same thing goes for the e34 i was looking at, volvo would prolly be muich cheaper

Buy Volvo. Cut springs. Prosper.

[niquemarshall]

Thats the plan, although im not a fan of clear corners

[SuperMegaDeathRay]

clear sucks, amber rocks....

ok, no matter how much i am into bmws, but get the volvo...the stationwagons are killer and you can't kill "schwedenstahl" plus there is so much space in the back that the volvo got its own "big bang"...drop it and kill some speedbumps...

rust shouldn't be a big issue as contrasted to the bmw...do the brakes and get him a lil ordinary tune up...oil, filters, spark plugs, wires and he runs nice...

[niquemarshall]

Thats the plan

UPDATE
Got the 245 today, ran good for the first couple of hours until i got it home into the driveway. Then i shut it off , rinsed it and then the battery died. Got it jumped, and it ran for about 40 seconds and died again. Did this for the next hour. Saw the ground wire on the alternator was fucked, fixed that and it still wont hold a charge, so idk what to do next.. Good thing is, since i only paid $500, it would be easy to cut my losses and junk it
