Want to buy a Silvia/Skyline but I'm very new to the scene.

£15k at a push I reckon looking at what other ones are for sale currently

The whole 30k just spent has no bearing imo you never get mod money back sadly

Of course it has a bearing on value. In the main a car thats had 30k spent on it is worth more than a standard car. I wasn't suggesting the seller wanted £40k, I said that he wouldnt sell it for the same price as a stock vehicle.

He wants just £12k for it. Dont see how you can go wrong at that money. The Giken box alone is the thick end of 3 grand fitted.

Not really, a standard car in decent condition could ask the same money, therefore 30k hasn't really had a bearing

£12k is good money, he shouldn't struggle at that

Its Gary at AP Tuning thats selling the car. He built the engine so knows it well. He wouldn't have taken it in px if he didn't have faith in it. He was one of the leading 200SX tuners in the UK before he moved onto Evos. Last year they won Time Attack Pro Extreme class (I believe) with an Evo they built and tuned. Hes a very nice man is Gary, very personable, and reasonable. They're based in Norwich.

£12k for that spec seems like an utter bargain (relatively to what other S15's go for!!)

Hope this isn't a big bump but I managed to find an S15 needing a small amount of work for £8k, parts are surprisingly cheap as they interchange with a lot of the Nissan range. You just have to keep your eyes open and wait for the right one. I was looking for about a month before I found the one I want. I'm based near Bristol as well if you want to look one over and such

Readers cars thread needed! Looking at S15s as an MX5 replacement.
