Newbie says hi

Hi. I just got a Cloud White 95 200sx SE-R last week. It had about 60000 miles on it and is as close to looking like a new car as you can get (without buying a new car). I've got to get a digital camera, and then I'll post some pics up.

The only thing I've done with it so far was replacing the receiver with a JVC KD-SH99 mp3 head unit, and adding a subwoofer. Eventually I want to start adding some bolt ons... I've also ordered the factory service manual for do-it-yourself jobs.

I love everything about the car. It's quick and lots of fun to drive (of course, I was driving my parents' '94 Mercury Sable :p). Just thought I'd drop a line. Nice site you've got here

I payed $9700 Canadian (which is a hell of a deal). I bought it from a Toyota dealership.
The "blue book" price from a dealer is $9800, private is $9000. Multiply the age of the car by 24000 km/year, and subtract the mileage. Multiply this amount by $0.05 and add it to the price.

So, my car had 105000 km on it, and let's assume the car was driven for about 6.5 years:
$9800 + ((24000 * 6.5) - 105000) * 0.05 = $12350.

You can probably find a decent SE-R in fair-good condition with average-high miles for around $8500 Canadian.
Hope this helps
