For such short time with low cash get a civic or interga. Don't be dumb and buy a BMW...

For 2500, I got a full equip acura integra ( all electric, roof etc) with a swapped b20z 150k kilo, the body has around 230k everything is fine, good upgrade of power/comfort from a civic.

I think he is saying if OP goes with a 240, look for rust. They are rust buckets usually.

First truck was a 88 dodge d100 with 200k km on it, put over 120 more on it and outside of regular maintenance only had to replace a stuck thermostat the whole time I drove it.
