There's one for sale at the moment up for about 12k, but as rare as they are, I personally would only pay around 9k. Bit of a marmite car

What is the reason for wanting an S201, it can't be for the styling?

The one currently for sale has been for sale for a very long time.

They are worth more for their rarity than their attributes IMHO. Prices are rising massively in Japan for good classics, I was outbid on an average grade RA the other day at a landed figure of 7k !!! they're worth more than most people have to justify on a 15-20 year old car

Besides a mint 202 is a better investment

Very few share my enthusiasm for the 201. I think it's a great car, yes I agree its styling is a little 'out there' but not only is it rare it's also the most 'sorted' classic to ever leave the factory.
I seriously believe that the prices and desirability for the 201 will increase massively over the next 10 years or so.
Love it or hate you can't deny it's a special car and come on, it screams 90's Japan.
Good one is worth 10k all day long in my eyes and will be a solid investment if you're happy to sit on it.

I know that they are rare but the bodykit looks aftermarket and doesn't suit the car IMO. Other than the styling possibly one of the best scoobys. But I would choice a type r instead
