I'm looking for a car that I can modify a bit that could still work as a daily driver if I wanted it too. I've narrowed it down to two cars (don't bother suggesting any others because I've settled on either two of these cars). They are the 1995 Nissan 240SX SE Coupe or the 1998 Honda Prelude. These cars are both automatic (there's a reason for that), and they're not expensive, since I'm going to be putting money into it, it can't be. I've seen a '98 Prelude with a rebuilt engine that has 225,000 KMS on it and the rebuild was at 200,000 KMS.

I'm basically asking which car you would take, mileage and condition aside. I also wanted to know if there is any disadvantage of buying a car with a rebuilt engine, I'm leaning more to buying the Prelude btw.

The car is going to end up being my girlfriend's hence the auto tranny.
