The S14 looks to be a one owner car that is no longer registered and was "Junked" due to the costs in reregistering.

Looks like a keeper.

Well....I went with other
got a 1996 Silvia K's Aero for $2100.00
Already have a brand new vented carbon fiber hood that I picked up for $100 yes ONE HUNDRED from the shop I got the car from.

Have alot of paperwork to do to get the car on base and no way to post pics right now, but I will try and show WHY I went back to Nissan. I may miss the hell out of the AWD...but FR is where I came from before hand...

Death before FF

This car is going to kick ****.

Glad you are happy with another Nissan but I thought for sure after speaking with you at the shop before you left that you would get the V3 STi, damn damn damn. Congrats tho!

Thanks Greg I know. I think I will be kicking myself for a bit. This may end up being an "Investment" vehicle. Paid $2100 USD for it, clean it up, do some stuff to it, then peddle it.

Friggin clean V3 Sti's and newer tend to be pricey....so who knows. I still have to get the thing in my name. Then the fun will begin.

Hate jumping ship from Subaru because the AWD is so addicting...but the price was too good and the condition of the car matches.

I like the earlier face better.
the older, the better looking i think for nissans, and most other cars

and $2100?!?! WTF! i could buy 3 of those with my car!

i wouldnt miss AWD at all! haha

the 2100 was why I got it. It has higher Kilometers on it but the engine is strong as hell....besides it's not like I couldn't find another SR20DET here
