cool idea, not a very cool car. i mean after some work it could look good(alot of work,*AHEM*)
try and find the 2 door sporty version, the c130 or the 2000SGX.

Coz he said he want to mod it.
This car is not known to be famous as a car to be modified, so if someone would want to mod it (for exemple lowering it and put some massive offset rims on it) it would maybe be a pain in the ass as there is no brands that make parts for it.

Have to go will explain better then.

If you have a lot of money to mod it nicely,go for it.Otherwise,stick to something more common.

Seriously buy something else.
1st of all its not because its japanese that its necessary a good car.
2nd, if you want to mod it and know nothing about cars and don't have any clue on how to mod em buy something more common as this one will require (maybe) a lot of work.
3rd this car is heavy and powered by the same engine as the 240Z minus the 2 SU carburetor, which are replaced by one double body carburetor. It produce 120hp (brand new, so expect less)

I don't knowwhere do you live but it would maybe better to check for some old Toyota Cressida (which is basicaly a Toyota Chaser). And the overall design of the car is nicer.

If your not a car collector i'd never buy that as a first car(i'm guessing by your age), these cars belong in a museum, sure they look cool but i'm quite sure price-vice they are far from cheaper to have running than a "modern" car. Parts would probably be hard to get and old cars are not that reliable, go get your self a decent car first doesnt need to look mega jdmtyte or have a big engine, aslong as it get you to places.

Usually people are going for some 90's beemers, audi's, nissans etc.
I mean, you will start with that car and im sure you will change it pretty fast.

Guys the reason i want to buy thet car becouse its verry cheap hear and its realy cheap too ehmm i dont know the word but the thing u pay for mounthly/agely.

Low it down, rims, paint, change brakes and if i have money change engine to rb or sr.

and i dont need to do everything at same time.

and yes i know where to get parts for thet car so thets not a problem.

That sounds like you just throw the parts in and they'll fit at the first try, like they were meant for the car.
If you get a car like that, it's going to be time consuming and you'll shed a load of sweat and tears.
Hope you have a big budget!
