1990 Nissan 300zx TT OR 2000 BMW 323ci?

if you saw my other topic my sister crashed my car and I may need a new one, I have 2 suggestions.

300zx

or

323ci

I think the 300zx has the styling advantage, as well as quite a bit more power and less kms, but its 10 years older...

The 323ci is newer, and my car was a BMW so I kind of want to continue that but it does cost more

I guess it comes down to if my car is totaled or not and what I get back if it is.

if i get less than 7700 then I guess ill get the 300zx

it seems that i like them both pretty much equally, i need someone elses opinion

I think that Nissan looks lamer than hell, and I usually love cars like that. I am gonna get the BMW 323. Just my opinion though.

It depends. If you want luxury go with the BMW. If you want sporty go with the 300. Honestly though I would NEVERpay that much for a 10 year old 300. Try cardomain.com and check their used section or try craigslist. Honestly I'm a huge sports car fan so I'd go with the 300 if you could find it between 3-5k. It has a ton of potential and I'm sure insurance is lower and plus it's t-tops. Who doesn't love t-tops?

IMO the BM :}

Out of those two... the beamer.

Seriously dude, I wouldn't get either. The 20 year old Nissan is just way too old. The decade old Bimmer will be a to nightmare. It's old enough that everything will start breaking on it, and the repairs are expensive as hell. Especially now since they haven't made that era of Bimmer in years.

that BMW slow man! i smoke that 323ci on my 2002 lexus GS300. But its just depends on your style. If you want sport fast buy the 300zx and if you want LUX then go with the 323ci but i suggest you get a GS300 if you gonna pay that prize for the 323ci. Plus you can fix up a GS300 better also

Oh I ddidn't see the location. Well have you checked out a camaro? You can probably get like a 97-2000 for cheaper and it looks more bad ass imo and T-tops also. Also sports a 330hp V8 if you find that models.

get the Beemer, that Nissan looks ricey as hellmohfrontline

Why because it's Japanese? I hate the term ricer. It is dumb as it's basically just insulting other peoples taste.

BTW I love that Vette... Wish I had $$$ :( I will own a C5 1 day though.

Not trying to start an argument, but what looks ricey about it? Usually people throw around the ricer words for slow cars that sounds like they are about to explode and have a million body attachments to them confusing others to thinking they are spaceships and this car lacks all of that. lol

Well since no ones responding I'd saycheck out a Maro V8 330 hp T-tops and it looks better and has more power. Youtube videos of Maros and their exhaust etc. It will be cheaper in the long run and it looks better.

Bmw for sure

I respect that. Well as you see I'm a huge Chevy fan. I love the 4th gen Camaro the C5 Vette and the new Malibu is pretty sexy also.

I'd go with the Nissan 300ZX man. It's cheaper, it looks better, it has less mileage. The BMW's advantage is that it is a newer car but it has been run harder (more mileage in a shorter space of time). That is just my opinion. Good luck making a decision! :)

Edit: Just realizing you are 16. Shouldn't you maybe get something abit less power?Your 16, Male and I am guessing that if you only had your car for 2 months then you just recently passed your test?

Just get a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer or something. They're about 7-8k... and not ugly.

The 300zx definitely. IMO, it's the last good looking Z Nissan ever produced.

Seems like you and me have similar car taste :) ...well my dad owns a 2000 BMW 323 Ci and I have to say that it is an awesome car to drive,its acceleration is pretty good and it can get to 160mph although with it now being a 10 year old car I wouldn't advice doing that.(btw we when it topped 160 we were racing a porsche boxter and beat it) The big problem with the BMW or at least the one in my home is that as of 3 years ago it has given us some problems: we have had to fix the air conditioner once or twice,the interior is sort of in decaying mode, starter problems but these are all problems you'll encounter in any old car.Also the parts are overpriced but at least the BMW service places are pretty cool at least where I live.The BMW is still believe or not a head turner.On the other hand the 300ZK is a pretty cool car and fast if you get the twin turbo version but get ready to probably spend lots of money on getting it up to date.Viper_GTS-R

Damn your 16 and rocking a BMW.I am 23 and I subway everywhere lol.

You should also look at Infinity G35. Pimp car.

As for those 2. Definitely the BMW - i wouldn't want to drive a 20 year old car anyways. If you break anything have fun looking for parts.

When I was getting my first car about 4 years ago I really wanted a 300zx. It's probably better that I didn't get one though. I would still choose that car if I was you though just cuz its badass. A turbo tho? I don't even want to imagine what the insurance will beBruin4ev3r1520

Both are pretty horrid choices, but I love Turbo, so I say Nissan

A little late but I bought the black 300zx, and kind of regret it :(

I didnt know that bringing a vehicle from out of province would cost like $1500 to get street legal. I figured it is the same country, shouldn't it be the same rules? NO

Im sure it will be great next week when it finally gets on the street.

A ford focus was my second choice, but i didnt get one, probably should have...except then i would regret not getting a 300zx so...
