"I recently wrecked my 240sx and I came across what looks like a good deal. A 1999 Contour SE V6 auto with 120k miles for $1850."
soon I will be dropping 743 for struts and springs 399 for new axels and 300 for some one to install everything totalling near 1850.
So you may need to spend twice as much to get her in good running condition
