Product Overview

Nissan Silvia S14 (also marketed as 200SX) is a mid-size coupe in production from 1993 to 2000. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 2.0 to 2.4 liters.
One of the more handsome vehicles on the market during its production run, the Silvia S14 was an affordable alternative to the I6-powered Skyline. While it lacked some performance, the S14 Silvia has the same suspension setup and superb (if not better) exterior styling.
In North America, a 2.4L engine was used, and the vehicle was sold as 240SX.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 307L (11cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.

Reviewer score 65%
Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The used 200SX market can be divided into standard (very rare), modified and totally transformed categories. Standard models tend to mostly be automatics and hover around the £4500 mark, although earlier mint cars (especially manuals) could potentially command upwards of £10,000. The modified cars generally have mild to wild engine and suspension changes, most owners are knowledgeable as the work has been done professionally. Prices range from £2000 for a high miler in rough condition to £8000 for the later facelifted cars.
