Choosing my first car..

Hi guys, new user here, sorry if im doing this wrong...

Anyways, My uncle passed me down his Beater 300zx and (as a student with barely enough money to pay for a project) Im currently Selling/trading it.

Rn i've gotten these 4 offers and was wondering what y'all can tell me bout it?

1 - 96 Integra GSR, 244K, 5 Speed, All highway Kms, with a practically new block (guys put almost brand new parts into it), Rust on rear fender but he's fixing it for me.

2 - 93 3000gt SL, 244K, Auto, Highway/city kms, All it needs is a touch up on the hood. Always had a thing for the GT's.

3 - 03 OZ rally edition Lancer, 200K, 5 speed, all highway, clean AF!

4 - 99 528i BMW, auto, 160K, Cleaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn. Got some ew 20' rims on it tho...

What do you have to say i should take? Wait for more? or what?

Still a new guy, so forgive me if I'm doing this really wrong. XP

BMW is going to cost you a lot in repairs and maintenance.

Yeah if you're a student, I would stay away from the BMW.
Better yet, if you can't afford a project, save the money until you're finished school and land your first job.
Then you'll have steady income and won't need to limit your choices as much.

Just saiyan..

GSR Integra. It will be the least expensive to operate, maintain, and modify if you so desire, and it will also be one of/the most enjoyable to drive and own for a young man into the car community. If you're on a budget, don't fucking buy the bmw.

so your beater 300zx needs work?

I'd say for a student, out of those list of cars....the GSR shines a bit better than the others on your list. but then it needs a new block already? it's only 244k...

I think you should look into a civic/corolla. good on gas, don't break down easy, cheap parts...good for a student.

Consider a GT3 RS. Its a good investment in your future.
Seriously the GSR sounds like the best choice. Honda's of that generation especially are reliable, the GSR adds some fun factor and mid 90s cars are easy as fuck to work on. Buy some tools and start reading and you will have a great time with it.

If money is tight, I would recommend saving up money instead. Owning a car, even a used one, is pretty expensive. The cost right off the get-go is insurance. There is also the fuel cost as you drive around. The maintenance cost builds up after a while. A good estimate is 50% to 100% of the would be fuel cost that has to be put back into maintenance. For example, if it costs you $50 every two weeks for fuel-ups, be prepared to put in $50 to $100 a month for maintenance (depending on the vehicle). Of course, you may not need to do anything for a few months, but might get hit by a hefty bill when you actually do maintenance. Unless you do your own work, then there's some savings.

If you had to choose from your provided list above, number 1 to 3 are fine. I would stay away from the BMW.

GSR GSR GSR GSR

Having a Honda as a first car should be a necessity, easy to work on, rewarding to drive, cheap on gas, good resale value, etc...

the 03 OZ rally edition Lancer is just a regular lancer with rims and trim - nothing rally or sporty about it. just an fyi in case you're expecting more than it is like a ralliart or evo

Exactly this. Back when I was a student, gas was 0.399 and owning a car was affordable. At current price levels, you'll be working your ass off just to keep the car moving (unless your family's footing the bills).

The 3000GT and BMW are going to be expensive to have fixed when they need it and are shitty to work on, the Integra will be fairly easy to work on/fix but being a Honda you have to worry about what kinds of shitty mods and DIY's have been done over the years, and I'd be wary that the guy just dumped a bunch of new parts into it but wants to get rid of it.

Personally I'd go for the Lancer if you want something more practical and less fucked with, the Integra if you're able to do your own work on it and it hasn't been messed with too much.
