Buy an is200 sport, far nicer car, cheaper to buy and easier to find a good one.
More trouble than their worth for the vast majority of them in ireland and the good ones are generally fairly pricey,if your looking for cheap rwd fun id say go for a beemer imo
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.
I recently had an is200, they are dead. And pure pure guzzler on juice, mine had a very tight lsd, it done 2nd in the dry, buy ya'd wanna be brave! Try get a s body!
There's a thread on dtd saying he bought it got parts for 1500 euro and its crashed dunno if its true but have a good look over it anyway![]()
I have 1 as a daily really comfortable aswell but underpowered in the dry, id get a 318is for cheap if i was you plenty of power and good fun for small money.
In my opinion this car looks as if it has seeing its fair share of abuse, lot cleaner ones out there to be had
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
