Default should i switch cars?

my bro has a co-worker that has a 91-93 240sx fastback. white, SE w/ alloys, 100k, AUTO, "rebuilt engine", looks clean inside and out. asking 2k.

i think i can get it down to 1.5k

why am i even bothering with an AUTO you ask? well...i really have no need or desire for a 5 speed anymo' and my current 93 240sx coupe has almost 200k on it and its the base with no power windows/locks/alloys and its leaking oil where the tranny meets the block. i think i can sell my current coupe for 2.5k and possibly make some money on the switch :rick:

the only thing is that it kinda sucks cause i have fairly new tires on my coupe right now (90% tread) and it seems like a waste. so i think i should just pick it up and hold on to it until summer then register the new car and sell the coupe during peak buying time :rick:

thoughts?

then you're spending $9 per tire h: so $9 x 8 = $72 + tax and other bs.

yeah if you're just going to use it as a daily driver then that's what I would do.
