Default S203

We all know they very rarely come up for sale, but if one did, how much would it be worth?
Presuming it's in good condition with say, 40k miles on

I know it's quite hard to put a value on, but this is exactly why I'm asking for help

Cheers

Kev

Never seen one for sale over here. Would be similar money to spec c although with anything it's worth whatever somebody is willing to pay.

I'd have thought it would be worth waaay more than a spec c. The interior and wheels would be worth a small fortune. I believe it has lots of upgraded parts underneath as well?

I'd say between 20-25k due to rarity and I'd prefer one over a s204

Don't think a Spec c interior would ever be for sale at this price

With such a rare and niche car it's only going to be worth what someone's willing to pay for it. Rare does not always mean that it's worth a lot, if you get my drift.

I would be willing to part with around £16k for a good condition car with that kind of mileage.

The two s204's were up and for a while, one was 18k the other started at 22k then dropped to 20k if I remember. The s203 is at an assumption as rare so being a few years older a few grand cheaper

How much is the same year as the s203 you're looking at spec c worth?

How much does a '04 spec c sell for? Would depend massively on private or trade sale.

I think a s203 has to be worth somewhere around £18-20k

What I mean if the spec c sold for 10-13 depending on year and if it's private it trade then I would say 3-4 on top for the rarity and additions.

asking 18-20k for a ten year old car, for me and I know what a s203/204 are, even with the rarity I wouldn't be willing to pay it for a non wide track blob, hawkeye on the other hand and Glenn old one then yes i probably would

Come your resale time you may have it hanging around for a while

Lovely car and good luck with the purchase

They are wide-track

Thanks, I'm not sure if I dare risk it tbh

That works out at £2.5 million yen after shipping, how much are the registration & test costs after that?

It also doesn't include tax and import duties which i believe are 20% and 10% respectively. From what I've read getting a car road legal in the UK will be around £500 but I'd think this would be a little bit more

Don't buy one from them dealers, they slap a mark up on them, auctions are your best bet, save some money
