Nissan,Mitsubishi, or Toyota?

I'm gonna be getting a car fairly soon, and I have narrowed my choices down to 3 cars:

Nissan Skyline( any make or year)
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
2004 Toyota Celica GT-S

The Skyline is the cheapest of the three, but is used.It needs a little tuning up, and then it comes to about a tie with the Eclipse.The Celica is the most expensive, and the Eclipse is also used.Whiich one should I get?Also, I'm looking for a car that can drift good, so factor that in too please.

Then it would have to be the skyline. You can drift in AWD cars

The only one that can actually drift is the Skyline. Even then, AWD is not great for getting sideways.

Why not go look for an AE86 or something? You could snag a nice one for ~1500 and that leaves a LOT of money for mods. Plus, they're terribly reliable, and pretty much the best drift cars ever, period.

.............is this actually a serious post? i am in no way trying, but either way i say this its gonna look like im bashing it.

those 3 cars, in comparison, are like comparing sony Xplode amps, with alpine, and then last but not least, PheonixGold.

and a skyline. in VA? cheap?

then you throw in a 240sx. now its purely gone from oranges to watermellon. and im totally confused.






hi my name is Jay, how ya doin'?

I found a place online to order a Skyline from...They have so many at times that they can sell them at that extremely low price, however, some are replicas.....

240SX was added in because it's the lowest priced car I can find.Also I herd a rumor that it was very good in drifting, which is what I'm looking for.

hmm....

another thing, reguarding the first post, there is no way in hell that a skyline is gonna be cheaper then a celica or a 3000gt. you even said yourself, $40k.

When they have alot, like they did earlier, they drop the price.When alot of them are being sold, the price increases.Get it?

They had so many replica's, as well as the real thing that they could afford to drop the price down that much.But since they did that, the Skylines were sold even faster, and now they are back to the normal price of one as a result, so it's the most expensive now.The 240SX is now the cheapest.
