If you were selling one of your rides, what would you ask for it?

Hmmm,
difficult to say. The one I am drifting with I have spent around R160K.
The silUTE will have the same setup.
So that gives you an idea of the cost.

Why you ask? Selling one

Looking to get started in the drifting scene.
But think an old R30 should be the first one, good for wall impact. haha

Thats great, nothing better than drifting.
The R30 is not good for drifting. only from R32 (awesome drfit car)
You can not set the R30 up as a drift car.

OK
So what should my 1st Drifting car be if R30 is not for Drifting?
Something that is good but cheap and I dont have to worry if I put it into the wall.

Ahem.... Ever noticed you are on a 200SX forum? :) Always good and relatively cheap to look at a S13... Sometimes you pick up real gems for around 60k....

Spend another 20k on it and you are going sideways in style.

You might not but the bank sure as hell does... R60k over 54 months = R1600pm approx... That's not so bad... We are all just dreamers mate, untill one day we all bit the bullet, talked to the loans department( in my case atleast) and got what we wanted.

I wouldn't take a loan to buy a S13, especially not when your likely to introduce it to a wall. Rather save up the cash and buy a already banged up s13 on the cheap.

I can not afford R1600 pm.
Just paying back the engine rebuild @ R1000pm and Im sitting at home, not going out on weekend, maybe 1 event p/m, till the end of the year.

I was looking more in the line as Daniel says a cheap one you not going to worry about putting in the wall, no matter what it is. as long as the motor is running it can be missing a door and now windows for all I care.

Stolen 1400 bakkie with no disk or plates? Can get those for like 10k... And you can drift with it I am sure... Just put some of those factory biscuits on.

ok, maybe you will have to start to learn in the R30 then.
SX is the best and cheap to drift with.
You can pick them up for R20K, and spend it bit, put an RB in, and off you go
