200sx at motorcity imports

[SLY33]

had a look at the custom orange 200sx at Motor City today. Anyone know its history? Was it painted here etc?

It looks tough but they got 31grand on it, go-fast wise all it has is FMIC and exhaust.

I think they should fire their car detailer, most of the cars looked quite shabby!

well i find that most cars in yards look crap cause ... well lets just say i wouldn't be putting that nice orange car of yours sly in the weather all day everyday

31k... thats the biggest rip off since.... of all time!!!

some stupid p plater with a fat loan will end up paying that much for it though.

I sold my car through Motor City.

It sounds very expensive for a 200sx , but then again what you all forget is the car would be on consignment so the owner would have set a price he wants for it.. and then Motor City being a business and like business is in it to make money. So they would prob be out to make 2k or so (rent, power, & wages dont come free)... plus all the time they spend trying to sell it for the owner plus factor in ppl will bargain the car down.

I gather you are talking about an S14 200sx , so if that is the case it would more than likely be a local delivery (they were sold here so can't see how u can import, and if you could it wouldn't have been many).

So that would mean that the custom job would have been done in Oz , and well from the other thread in the SA section we know how much this can cost.. and then add the exhaust (atleast 1.5k) and intercooler (prob 2k installed).

Suddenly it all adds $$ onto the car.

But yeah I would not pay 31k for one of those either, but I can see the car being worth high 20's without a prob.

I am pretty sure it was YLQQK (or something like that) plated before. (Plates now on a white 350Z) .... saw it at a few car shows and the drags one time. I have a video of it running at AIR somewhere ....

[SLY33]

ive since been told that the car is/was YLQQK.

i see your points rob! as the first question anyone asks a dealer is something like "whats the lowest cash price?" which usually instantly slashes 5grand off the sticker price.

31 grand for a 200 sx??? look hard enough and you will find an r34 below 30k ... pay the airfare and then put the car on a transport truck like I did....soo sx...yeah right.
