The 200SX Hunt

Post by Ansell »

Yowsit,

So today is my first day on the forum and I'm glad to be here.

Could somebody give me an idea of what I could find a running SX for?

Would I find something for 30-35k

Not worried about whether it's CA or SR, I just need to start with something.

Any ideas, young Sirs?

you will find a sx for 30k but will be broken or in rough condition for something clean you looking at 50 upwards maybe get away with 40k

Prepare yourself, even a clean sx for around 50k might have problems, in my years in most cases, a turbo goes or this or that right after you bought it, be realistic and realize that it will need time and money....and it will be worth it if you have a real passion for this car.

Yeah, I hear what you guys are saying.

I suppose saving up for about 50k would be a better idea.

Because let's face it, most of them would have been thrashed and slightly modified and for 35k-40k I'm probably looking at spending another 20k.

Dude you are right. You can pick up one for 35k but you will easily spend 20k to get it to a decent running car. Even if you bought a clean one for 100 you will still need to spend a bit on it to get it lekke because they are old cars that have been played with

Ja I hear you. I'm going to have to be prepared to spend a bit but I'm willing to because I'd like it to be my second car. Like a project.

That's alright. My advice would be to get one that's in good running condition that you can still drive and enjoy and then do further upgrades when you can

That sounds good to me too. I'll keep my eye out and see who's looking to let go of a runner. Thanks bud!

Welcome!

Have a look at the 200sxOwners Club of SA FB site, lots for sale there.

Don't rush into buying a SX, ask as many questions and be prepared to spend a bit of cash on getting the car, the way you want. Generally, they all need a bit of TLC.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Howsit!

Thanks so much. I'm glad to be here.

Okay I'll do that. Thank you for the heads up.

Yes I think taking my time would be the best option.

That's true, after all, they're old cars.
