Default F150 or 240sx?

That is the question. I've got a chance to trade my f150 for a 93 240 sx. The one and only reason I'm doin this is because I drive 40 miles round trip everyday and I can't afford the gas mileage. What do you guys think?

if that's your truck in the pic, your getting the short end of the deal, and will be kicking yourself in the rear in less than 6 months.

Not worth it in the least. The 240s are more often than not destroyed by their owners, who also think they're worth more because of Fast and the Furious. Your truck is worth more than the 1800 dollars than 240 is worth

My 240 looked a lot cleaner than that I bought it off first owner with all mantaince records 212k and runs like a dream still I get over 30mpg long as I'm not trying to shut it off (believe me it will) I love my 91 240 but still have my truck 240 is my dd cause I drive rougly 75 to 80 miles daily for work costs me roughly 80 to 100 in two weeks lot cheaper then rolling those 35's

I'm gonna give it a good look over and drive it before I trade but the gas mileage of the truck is killin me. I'm a college student and only work part time.

If the 240 isnt smoking or rusted out, the rear frame and floor pans go. I would almost go for it, with a licoln locker that would be more fun than a barrel o monkeys.
I wonder if i could cram a 4.9 in that.

Why cram a 4.9 you can squeeze a rb26tt skyline engine that'll push 2200hp
