Go for the GSR. Best choice for you currently, cheap to maintain and cheap on gas and so on

Don't take any of those..
I think the GSR is the best bet also, but why limit yourself to that particular one that's being offered? Sell the car, get the cash and take your time..

Better yet, if you can't afford a project, save the money until you're finished school and land your first job.
Then you'll have steady income and won't need to limit your choices as much.
Just saiyan.. | True that. I already got myself a steady job atm. so im looking for a good car out of the 4 choices to be able to Mod out, but also still use as a daily. appreciate the advice tho!

I think you should look into a civic/corolla. good on gas, don't break down easy, cheap parts...good for a student. | 7
Nah doesnt need a new block. He's replaced alot of the parts in the block so its practically a new block. Yeah the 300zx needs work, don't have the time or the money..or even more important the experience to work on that complex of a car.

For example, if it costs you $50 every two weeks for fuel-ups, be prepared to put in $50 to $100 a month for maintenance (depending on the vehicle). Of course, you may not need to do anything for a few months, but might get hit by a hefty bill when you actually do maintenance. Unless you do your own work, then there's some savings.
If you had to choose from your provided list above, number 1 to 3 are fine. I would stay away from the BMW. | I totally get where your coming from. Luckily for me, cars are in the fam. Bro has had 3 projects in the past, Dad owns a garage. I got maintenance set since basically my brother would teach me the ropes. Gas will infact be the one thing but with Honda/Acuras being as cheap as they are on gas i think ill be able to get around.

For $4500ish this would be a great car. Super cheap to fix, fun as fuck, and reliable!

EK hatch for the win. I just sold mine after having it for over 1o years, the car was awesome. The EL is just a civic with fancy trim.

1.8 EL?  I'm assuming it's a swap since no EL came with a 1.8L. That said, I currently own an EL (1g) and it's nothing to write home about. It's a good, reliable vehicle but that's about it. It starts, it drives, it stops. No excitement, no fizz, no nothing.
I'm a sucker for a well modified EK, but I'm always wary of other people's modification jobs. I know some people do a great job on their cars, but there are too many examples out there of corners cut, questionable parts and things untouched that should have been fixed.
That 3000gt, though...  : Too bad it's not a VR4.

Either Hondas will have way better aftermarket support. Cheap to build, maintain, and way more choices.

Seriously, don't even look at a 3000GT as a first car. They can be great cars but they're very labour intensive to work on since everything is so cramped.
