i have a question, hopefully a simple answer to go with it.

i turned 16 in january, and i will be getting a job very soon as the summer approaches. I plan on saving about 2500-3000 for a stock 240 for my next birthday, and my question is as follows. I know a fair bit about cars and engines and the like, but i was just wondering what you would suggest for a beginner like me, a 89-90 SOHC 240, or a DOHC S13, in terms of maintenance/turbo capability later on down the road. I am asking since i see that the SOHC 240s usually go for less, but in terms of aftermarket and reliability isues, is it worth it to get a DOHC??

thanks in advance for the reply!
