Hi, anyone know of anyone wanting to sell their 200sx?

Prefer the following.

Early S15 (Nov 2000 onwards to Mid 2001).

Already done 30-60k.

Spec-S, perhaps even Spec-R if the price is ok.

Black, Silver or Red.

Seller within 300km of Sydney.

No mods.

Please mail me if you have something. I'm in no rush for one at the moment as I'm actually enjoying going back to catching the train to work after my GTS-T was totalled :( .

Thanks! :)

The later 2002 models with only 15,000km are going for around $32k to $38k at dealers. I haven't seen any early S15's from Nov 2000 to 2001 floating around in all the online ad's so no idea what they might go for. I suspect perhaps $26k to $32k.

I'd be stoked if I could find a private sale for a Nov 2000 S15 in Black going for $26-28k. Perhaps something that had done higher kms.

I'm probably going to leave it for later as well. Perhaps even wait till the end of the year when prices will be more reasonable for the S15's.

The prices are a little differant here in QLD, but the 01/02 go for around $32k - $40k and anything before around $30k.

I have only seen 1 or 2 below $30,000...

I am going to get a modified one to try and save some money..

I'll let you know if i find anything..

I purchase the series 2 GTS-T fully modified for $36k which was actually a good deal considering the mods cost the guy about $20k on top of the standard series 2 price of about $28k+

Insurance gets a little nasty at your age.

Personally I don't want to ever modify my next car. Could just be that fact that I'm still feeling a little rattled by my accident and would rather be driving a little Mini Cooper right now.

It will pass...

Was it a modified one?

I looked into this and their isnt a great advantage, first of all you have to get an earlier model car then whats available here, and you end paying almost the same price anyway..

I couldnt justify myself buying a 1992/1993 model car for $30 - $30k when you can pick up a S15 01 with 15,000km's for the same price..

just_grouse i had a look on another forum and saw a couple of black S15's 2 mildly modified sold for $35k and standard one for around $32...

It's the $$$ commitment that's the big issue. The $36k lease I had was draining the income faster than I would have liked (didn't help when the R33 needed it's engine replaced...damn mods!).

$26k seems to be the sweet spot so I guess I'll just have to wait for the right car. The S15 is the only 200sx I like the look of, inside and out.

Silver-Arrowz - I'd be just has happy to drive an R32 GTR or RX7 even but that also doesn't fit the budget right now.

Time for a little begging to the boss for more wonga?

Bloody mortgage!

    • Oof, I don't think you should add it up like that! It sounds much better at $21 per issue. I don't see any problem there if you enjoy the process and the result. I really like the magazine side of it with all the little tidbits and facts. Also, if anything, these forums are all about spending unreasonable amounts of money on hobbys. I wouldn't call it a self-help group because people generally suggest to spend more
    • I put another 2 layers of putty and still getting pinholes. Think i might either try the filler first then putty or just leave the little specs of guidecoat as is and get primer to fill it in. I think i misread understood what you said above when you said my glazing putty wasnt enough for the size of the area. I thought you meant 1 coat and i needed to. But i think what you meant was that I needed filler first? I also went a bit too far out the repair area as my spreader is a bit large.
    • You do sorta. In my instance they were little specs and I didn't even think they'd be pin holes but it all makes sense now. Huge learnings there!
    • Ah ok that makes sense and it's where i think i went wrong because before when i put filler then putty, i didn't have this issue and now i do because i only put 1 coat of putty. Thanks for that heaps man, it's a good way to put it! With my putty I'm using the dolphin glaze which i just saw it says finishing putty lol. I didnt put filler cause it was a shallow area but i see what you're saying. Also I'm an idiot, i just realised that while i put new putty there are pinholes! I probably saw it before and ignored it for whatever reason. I think because i thought putty is used to fill pin holes that itself wont make pinholes but that's incorrect of course. I feel silly now haha. ok I think I know what to do next. Thanks man!
    • Yes correct, the guide coat is showing low spots, in this instance the low spots are pin holes. I agree wetting the areas makes it more visible (but you can see it's there before you wet it as well lol).  Once the panel is flat, the guide coat will be gone
