if he's gonna trade you straight across that IS a delimma. You've done so much work on your accord it would be kind of a shame to just let it go, but thats a nice 240 and for a pretty good price. You know how to do body work so fixing the little things wouldnt be much of a problem.

I'd probably do it.

I like your bodywork though, it would be a shame to see the project out of your talented hands.

i know, thats the problem! I hate to see my car go, but this is a very good chance to get a well respect car and one that has more than a 1500 dollar value.....

its kinda like..... accords are a dime a dozen, high-end nissans(like the 240) are rarER, thus more PiMP!

i guess im one of those peeps that get bored real easy....if you remeber, this time last year i traded my 88 teg for my current accord! look how far it came in 1yr...

Thats a tough decision. Considering how much work you've put on your accord. That is a nice car tho, and it seems that ur accord needs alot more work (money wise) than the 240. Id do it. Good luck on your decision tho.

you have a hot lookin accord, but get the 240.. accords arent ment to be fast and they arent (yes there are the 5 people or somethin out there that have spent thousands and thousands of $$ just to get to 10-11s ¼ miles).

p.s. ill take your car if you feal like givin it away ..... :lol:

yah your accord has come a long way, but i think this is an opportunity for change, change is good right. i'd go for the 240, however you should be careful. did he initiate the trade, like asked you to trade. here's my question, what's his intention in this? maybe there's sumthin wrong with the 240. unless he's like a good friend, i'd go for it. you can start a new project and there are way more mods for the 240 than for the 3g. That's just my opinion

well the trade thing has always been brought up...usually by me! Ive wanted that car since he first got it! The 240sx is alittle rough but is definatly worth the trouble! This guys really doesnt want to mod out anything, he'd rather have it handed to him!

im most likely getin the 240sx! I got my ass-whooped by a debadged eclipse and that was the final straw!

track times:
accord 1/8- 11.2
240 1/8 - 10.5 bad clutch and burning tires!

dude my dad has a 240sx, auto so that's one of his cons.
plus his car is slow my 3g is faster.
he has had alot of problem's and when he has to get the part it's really exspensive ,and the damn car is harder to work compared to my mom sable gs.
plus at time's the car blow's out blue smoke too, hmmm i think you should stick with the 3g.
i've though about selling mine's for a 94 v-tec or v6 accord.
but i think but why should i get rid of it when i'm 1/2 way there on my mod's. . . . . . .
