94Accord Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I just recently got a 96 240sx from my grandparents for graduation gift. has 60,000 miles on it but its cool as hell. I also have my stock 94 accord. Both cars run fine but i want to sell one of them to get $ to boost my other car. Which car has more potential in the long run? I honestly dont know shiat about nissans so any help would be nice. Soles i need some help with piecing together a turbo kit soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Im not a big accord fan, and I love my Nissans. Fix up the accord and give me the S14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shishpanik Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Definately sell the accord. The sx is hotter, faster, and has more potential IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmythewop89 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 yea accords are very homosexual sell it and throw some cash into the 240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DResmini Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 accords are fine cars, i mean mines a 93 and still runs great. people get bad ideas b/c people rice them out. if you want to mod a car, a 4 banger isnt the way to go. i have an intake b/c it got me 3 more MPG and now days that means alot, i didn't get it to be speed racer. back to your deal, if you're gonna be speed racer, sell the accord. if you think you're going to mod and spend your life with the nissian, sell the accord, but be willing to put the work into it. or just do w/e you feel and ignore the strange people giving advice on a message board.

xalexjx@yahoo.com Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 dont forget any thing over 300hp on the 240sx will be very costly, you will need a different transfer case and tranny, but imo sell the accord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shishpanik Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Accords hold their value pretty well so you can get alot of money out of the accord. It's also wrong to sell a gift from your grandparents Im surprised no one has said THAT yet. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
