I wouldnt, pull up anywhere in an S13 and you look like the bank froze your money :/

Has anyone ever told you you're an incredible snob?

I think the S13 is a far better looking car than the S14 (S14a aside).

Yeah that did come across a touch snobish.

Still everytime Fox pulls up it looks like he's borrowed his dads motor

I actually considered a 200sx but imo it would have to have been a s14, maybe id of bought a pill who knows, but the s13 a little dated now, still damn good drives im sure

It's not dated, it's retro

believe it or not it was. that was for the 2.5v6 mondeo, can't remember exact quotes, but here's a few from my last spec me thread.

Galant £370 bell
Mx6 £460 bell
mx 3 £602 sabre
Toyota Soarer V8 4.0l £369 CSMA

makes me sick that I'm paying £430 on the carisma..

Thank you

S13 = sports car

S14 = Tourer

why do u think they put a 2L engine into the S14 ? becuase its heavier and to make it more "refined"

I dont see how a 4L engined car makes it cheaper to insure than say a 2L or a 2.5L!

That makes no sense what so ever

I remember a friend at work told me hes paying about £1500 for a 2L vectra i think it was, and i said to him, that my 1.8T 200SX is £400 fully comp, and ive been driving for 5 years, and im 29, hes in his 30's, i cant work that one out either becuase my car is a lot faster than his etc

It'll be an odd anamoly which will apply to very few people.

apart for the 4.0ltr and the Mazda they where all the 2.5

That's what I said in my other thread. It's crazy, but that's insurance for you. That's why I say, never rule out any cars without checking the insurance quote.

Totally agree with you there

and insurance companies

my Renewal quote was my cheapest this year, everyone else wanted over a grand!

not read all the thread but reading quite a lot of good things about the primera.
Can i just add that i have an N reg Primera Sri (p10) and its absolutely brilliant and ive had literally tons and tons of cars in my 18 years of driving.

Mines got to go unfortunately though as im getting a company jag in 2 weeks

Well, I'd rather have a S14a. But this is about getting a car for 2k, and for 2k any S14 is going to be past it.

Whereas 99% of all S13's full stop are past it.

Dammit I thought it was an opinion thread not a what shall I buy thread. For 2k I would get my Prelude back!

Anyway nice choice with the 306, should be reliable and fairly nice. The downside is there are a lot of cars more special/interesting that you could have gone for!
