Wanted: S13 200sx

TTrance10117 Aug 2007, 13:11

Hi all,

I'm in the process of looking for a S13 200sx in good condition. I live in Durban so cars from within KZN would be best, although I am willing to travel if it comes to that.

The engine needs to be in good condition as for the most part it will be driven daily.

I'm looking at a price range of about R40 000 - R45 000.

If you know of any up for sale please let me know. Thanks 🙂

There is a red one in JHB for I think R43k.

Belonged to an old man who passed away recently. I used to bug them to sell it for about a year and eventually found another one which I then bought.

Couple of months later I get a call from the old lady saying it's for sale. I didn't go to see it since I already had one, then later found out she sold it to the garage accross the road out of desperation (they had 4 cars and after the old man passed on she didn't know what to do with it. She had sold it for R22k!!!! I could have kicked myself for not going to see her.

Anyways, it's now at the dealer. 92 model. 144k kms. Overall great condition. Let me know if you're interested then I;ll get the number.

PM for Ian he is selling one in that kind of condition (good overall + good engine) for 45000 or something. It's white & neat.

A one way ticket to JHB is less than 1k, and could be as low as 300 or 400 with banana or whatever el-cheapo airlines do the dbn route.

True, but then I have to see the car for the every first time and decide on the day if I want to buy the car or not. And if I don't like it I have to find a short notice ticket back to Durban. Which can be expensive.

Its just easier for me to try local first.

Ye you're right, I suppose it can get quite expensive after 1 or 2 tries. Best to take your time with these big buys. The more patience you have the better deal you'll get anyway. It's not like a sentra where you can go to 5 places in one day & pick 1 out of the 20 you saw.

I don't hesitate when I buy things otherwise I end up in circular reasoning between needs & necessities.

Hey guys,

I'm still looking for a good 200sx for around R40000. I'm willing to travel to Gauteng (I live in Durban) if anyone know of a good one for sale there.

I've been trying autotrader and junk mail but no luck so far.

Thanks
