    Yea but it's from one of those mega money classic dealers.

    Someone probably bought that from an old gentleman for a grand.

    Seems a fair asking price for 100% stock minty clean without welds when modified manual 57K with high quality weld repairs on sills and rails go for £6K. I'd expect they would get knocked down to about £7.5K.

    Cannot understand go the life of me why someone would pay that. Standard s13s are not great to drive.

    ^^this is my perspective^^ most of us got s13's when they were £1000 fun thrasher cars that you fitted a bleed valve and some lowering springs to.

    ive had about 10 S-bodies and never paid more than £800. I remember struggling to sell my tidy freshly painted black 64k miles s14 silvia with stage 1 mods/coilovers/R33GTR wheels for 3k. it would be an 8k car now.

    How can you say standard S13's are not great to drive,depends what you're comparing them with. They're alot better than some of the new cars out there.

    Three good reasons not to buy this car....

    - you don't have 8k
    - you don't want a standard auto s13
    - you can buy one cheaper elsewhere

    You can say that standard s13 doesn't suit your driving style but for a cheap GT car a young s13 is a very pleasant place to be IMO

    I really liked my first one when I got it; that only had lowering springs on, it was grand. Especially compared to the MR2 that preceded it

    s body prices are insane right now. my Mrs works for car insurance and said someone she spoke to this week (claim she was handling) had a modified s14a and they paid out 11k to him after all fees were taken off (excess and cost of him keeping car)

    I couldn't freaking believe it.
