Hi, I'm going to introduce myself ...


My name is Marcos, I am 20 years old, and I lived most of my life in Lomas de zamora, Province of Buenos Aires Until I was 19, I moved with my partner (lover of cars and motorcycles too) to Benavidez, Partido de Tigre, in the Province of Buenos Aires, A quieter neighborhood than lomas de zamora, NO DOUBTS !.
I was always a lover of cars, my father ran in the "Autodromo Juan and Oscar Galvez" in the 1/4 mile with his first car , a 1973 Ford Fairlane V8, and I was going to see him for as long as I can remember, at 17 with my beginner driver's license as an authorized younger, and my car that at that time was a 1999 Volkswagen Gol Dublin that used it as a car of daily use, with some things done like a spirals ag extreme, shocks of short rod, 4-2-1 custom Exhaust manifold, repro and a cold air intake,i enjoyed my life so much with that car, now I am with about 20,000 dollars saved, although it seems a lot, in fact the cars here are worth fortunes, an S13 / S14 200SX or a 240SX (If you find any), are in more than 7000 dollars stock, when in use or europe, they are for less than 4000 dollars, and to top it off you can not import used cars unless you have been in another country for more than two years and do a whole process, or The car is more than 30 years old and has an FOB value of more than 12,000 dollars. several things, although I could import an R32 GTS-T, but with all the taxes, it could not, it will be for the next one, and worse, you can not import used engines for the purpose of making a legal street swap, even if can import crate engines and swapping used engines that are registered in Argentina, it's a fucking nightmare!

I'm looking for a car, it can be anything ...
Maybe something national like a
Volkswagen Gol / Golf / Bora (Jetta)/ Vento (Other model of the jetta)
Chevrolet Corsa / astra
Fiat Uno / Punto / marea
Or something more interesting like a ...
Honda Civic VTI / EXS / SI / "EJ2"
Subaru Impreza GT / WRX (At best)
Nissan 200sx (CA18DET)
Nissan 240sx (KA24DE Manual)
Mazda RX7 FC/FB (In this country only non-turbo variants are available)
Mitsubishi lancer (Base model or something like that)
Honda Accord
Toyota Corolla
Or maybe some repatriated / imported car that is interesting and worthwhile, I do not know ...

I will let you know if I find something or if I get to buy an interesting thing ...

Here is an Old pic of my first car , i miss it !

Update: New Cars!


As you know, I bought a car, a luxurious sedan, with a legendary 6-cylinder engine, but naturally aspirated and automatic ...
The car that I bought is this ...



A 2001 Lexus GS300, In perfect condition ...



Engine 2JZ-GE N/A, automatic gearbox, with a little more than 240000 km, but working perfectly, as if it were manufactured ...



It is in perfect condition, it is a very comfortable car, 220 hp, and with a beautiful thrust! , it's a perfect car for long trips ...



It cost me about 197,000 pesos (8573 dollars)

And I also found a very good offer for less than 100,000 pesos! (90000 pesos = 3917 dollars).

A 1990 Nissan 240sx SE, In acceptable condition, except for details in paint ...



So I leave the car after a little rattle can respray , a polish and a lip ...



The car has more than 185,000 km, but the car had CNG, (compressed natural gas, synonymous with LPG) and the engine works like shit, I'll try to see what it can be ...



But a 240sx for 90000 pesos (3917 dollars), when they are usually above 230000 pesos (10,000 dollars), is a find, but the engine is not working well, maybe a reconstruction, or maybe it's something simple like making a full service, I will try to see what will happen with this car ...

Is cheap , but your 200sx is a nice car for a nice price , and your s13 is a nice 2.0 turbo powered , with a really better suspension than mine's , and my 240 is a earlier gnc car with a shitiest engine (single cam) running like shit! , and yours is a nice exemplar...

And the Lexus is a really bargain , I still do not believe that I got this beautiful car for so little ...
