To be honest (touch wood) i dont have any running issues. Mines a '98 s14a. The only expense i've incurred has come from modding it, and repairing rotten sills...and fuel of course. Although because i have a built in siren mounted to the passenger seat (aka the wife) that wines continually if i drive a bit spirited like, i tend to drive like i'm driving miss Daisy most of the time, so fuel isnt even that bad.
I'm based in Essex, not far from Colchester.
Seeing as i bought the 200 just before they suddenly lost most of their value, i suffered a massive depreciation, so am quite used to it really.
Hey doc! Yeah i looked in on the thread on SXOC. As you rightly pointed out, there were too many people talking out of their arses, so i thought i'd pop in here and talk to more people who actually drive 350's.
See this is good info, thanks. When i bought the 200 i didnt seek out the owners club first and i bought the first one i saw. There were a few things i didnt know to look out for, and i could have shopped around if i'd known. I'm determined to learn from that experience!
