They also have a huge potential for tuning. I always see at least a dozen on ebay, even though they are fairly rare on the street.

The problem is they only come in automatic, and the dash/gauges arent really setup for racing. Plus they dont handle as well as an import.

If you must have an import, then a 240sx is a good starter.
You are out of your mind if you think you can find a GN in good condition for under 8 grand. You can get them for like 3000 but they normally have no motor or tranny's. Plus if they are going for under 10 grand that means that the owner probably didn't keep then tip top shape, and now that the car is 15 years old it has had some wear and tear and is gonna cost alot of dimes and pennies to keep it up and running.
