    Buy an is200 sport, far nicer car, cheaper to buy and easier to find a good one.

    Had one myself grand comfortable car but heavy on juice (22mpg) ball joints and power steering pumps are known problems! Other than that check the back arches from inside the boot because some of them are rusting there and letting in water! A lot of them are ringed to death!

    As everyone says there under powered. i found them about the same as an sr20 on petrol as long as you take it handy. I bought the one i have now because its a practical daily car that you can have a bit of fun in.

    Quote from ad "bodywork in spotless condition"

    Last owner is a girl, her boyfriend was selling it on DTD

    He was very honest in the ad listed all the problems seemed like a genuine seller!! Thank god there's one or two out there who's honest while selling a car!

    He openly said that Altezza showed crash damage all which was on driver side

    It was up for 1500 (or nearest offer, I'd say sold alot less then that!)

    And that fella puts it up as spotless and was up yday or day before for 3100 ha

    Only trying to make a quick buck!!!

    It did have one or two nice parts tho the greddy gauges etc..

    Not worth that tho! There guzzlers on petrol

    And in comparison to your b18, to let ya know I had a b18 ek9 and it was a hell of alot faster then a Altezza. Get yourself a good s body. I did, I'm 16 months on from buying my silvia and I wouldn't even think of selling it or going back down from one
