Buying a 200sx

Post by Wicked »

Hi all
I am looking at buying a 200sx it’s a 1990 model and its go about 150000 on the clock. It is still stock and in near perfect condition.
We have agreed on 22k for the car. Is that a good price? As far as I can see its the seats and diff that need attention.
Is there anything else I should look for on the car that could be a problem?

Have it checked out by the AA. Price seems decent to me. Replace the seats and the diff and it should cost u about 25000 all together with the car

Dude that is cheap!!!!

Just make sure its not a lemon!

People try to sell things for cheap coz they know theres something wrong with it. They just drop the price so much that you cant say no to buying it.

Get someone from the club who stays in your area and let them go check the car out with you!

Thanks HancoB

I don’t think the owner even knows what its worth. I will be taking it to a reputable workshop tomorrow for the mechanics to check it out. And do the necessary tests.

One of those rare finds :D
