Might buy car from this place needa opinion plz!

Parents buying me car originally I, wanted an escalade but to much out of price budget. These car's catch my eye so what car is better, faster better deal?
Maybe I will put in offer but I dont know much information on them.
They look great with addons parts maybe I will sell some of them to get more money since i dont need all them.

The 350 is sick, but how do you go from wanting an escalde to a S2K/350z?

I would take the S2k and I don't think you can lower offer them 5-7k, maybe 2-4k. It is harder to put a price tag on a car that is modded to that stage.

I like the how the escalade looks, friend has one fully optioned out.
Can you give reasons for your picks ?
My friends drive imports they wanted me to get faster car so I'm will think about it.
Are both the cars fast? Friend owns rsx-s would honda or nissan is faster?

well first off the rsx-s you described is completly different from the s2k... second, both cars are forced induction, modified, which makes it hard to see which is fast.. but stock to stock 350z is slightly faster than s2k but s2k is a mountain road/ track beast, its all up to each's personality of what they want to drive really... my vote is on the sc s2k though good luck

I dont know the specifications for the cars likely I know basic stuff only
Is there other cars I can find?
I can spend 30k if I can choose a new car for better values?
How about NEW Tiburon?
I will buy soon so I can decide fast!

Just hope he has really rich parents and that he is at least smart enough to take it to a tech often enough.

If you don't know how to tune AFR values, check for excess blow-by in the turbo, or anything of that sort, then those two cars you've selected are not for you. Highly modified cars of that nature require an attentive owner who knows what they're doing. You're honestly better off getting a purely stock car and learning from there.

And no, they don't make Tiburons anymore. It's the Genesis coupe now.

The problem with buying modified cars is that even garages that specialize in modified vehicles wont likely know the extent of what's been changed.

In all seriousness, find a model you like, regardless of if it's an S2K, S15, EG, or even an Escalade, and find one that's been maybe modified with rims and a lowering kit and thats it. You're genuinely better off buying a car that's got no drivetrain modifications, especially if you don't know what you're doing.
