As above
Looking about £6k seems to be a V reg standard version with circa 50k on it. Does this sound about right?

Still not made your mind up mate
Nope
I'm torn between an RX7, a 200 or maybe even a beefyish BMW 328 or something. Even considering an american muscle car... If i'm honest, i'd love to get an RX7 but they terrify me
you could try asking on thedvdforums.com they are a helpful bunch!!Originally Posted by Matt.Wild
The 328 would bore you to deathOriginally Posted by Matt.Wild

Yep, if in good condition with FSH & touring.Originally Posted by Matt.Wild
Realistically, 6k would get you a mint S or T reg, with FSH and about 60-80k on the clock.
For a V-reg, you'd probably end up with a no service history car, or slightly higher mileage / damaged & repaired car.
Check www.parkers.co.uk for typical used car prices
Have prices gone up that much in a year ??Originally Posted by JackaL
A year ago (Well 11.5 months) I paid £6500 for My Dec 1999 24,000mile FSH .....
Prices are cheaper oop north.
just bought a V with 44k on it with FSH from a dealer for 6.2k if that gives you an idea ?
Sounds about right to me.Originally Posted by Lenagh

Looking at AutoTrader I'd disagreeOriginally Posted by JackaL
I've been checking out prices (in preparation for buying in January) and I've seen a couple of V Reg examples with ~60k miles and FSH for the £6k mark.
I'll probably try and buy a modded one off this forum though, infact I might already have one lined up
Yeah 2 of my mates have got em, one's got a coupe and the other a convertible, they so boring. Muscle car would be thoughOriginally Posted by SteA
Hi
According to Parkers £6k should get you a 99 V reg Touring model with 40,000 miles. If you went for the non-touring it says you could get a 00 W reg for a little over £6k with 30,000 miles...both figures are for Private 'Good condition' meaning with FSH etc - if you bought from trade it would be a lot higher. Best value car around for miles!
Matt
surely this is the answer...

I paid 7k for mine a year ago for a 2001 s14a with 36k on clock but I was told I had a bargain, not sure what way prices have gone but I stil recon it will fetch at least 7k now as my mate Paul just bought a W plate with 29k on clock for 8k, and it wasnt that well looked after had a few scuffs and holes in door card from breif case of previous owner stank of fags etc etc but he has got it looking immaculate now mind you.
But back to the thread you'd get a t/v plater with around 50k on clock for 6k I recon
Problem is, I want money put by if I buy a rex and that wouldn't allow itOriginally Posted by Jezz_S13
I think a rex isn't the car to really stretch yourself on - if it goes wrong it goes WRONG!
are you dead set on an S14a??? would you consider a s14?
