Cost of ownership for a s15

[Trusty]

anyone care to share? thinking of getting a used 2002 model.

COE expired in 2 years. You intend to renew or scrap? Now COE very high, not sure how will it be 2 years later.

 

Insurance should be quite high for this car. Since its a turbo car, probably need service every 5k km. Parts on performance cars seems to wear faster, & more costly to replace.

Not particular experience in S15. Maybe can check the Silvia community (if there is one) in Singapore.

Bo hua la... 40-50k for 2 years... get a 350z la...

Good deal, SR20 a lots of aftermarket parts. But insurance can be sky high due to classify under sporty and high risk.

Try WRX, can modded to 300+WHP with only 3-4K using used parts.

ppl want s15 a drift car and rwd, not a rex... different breed altogether.

think about your insurance premiums too.

 

fuelwise, you'll get about 9km/L or less, depending on how heavy your foot is.

 

as for oil changes, 7000km once,

 

road tax for 2L not that exxy, its the insurance that kills i reckon.

the SR20 is also a tougher motor than the flat4 subaru offers.

Wrx STI closest comparison is eVo.

For WRX, is it not worth to pay for something so basic, need to mod so much and heavy on insurance.

any young drivers can find a car which cheap in insurance, 6speed manual, and with a 2.3T which is faster then WRX?

I got an answer.

you can wait and post at the website with your queries.

but i think it will be hard to get such high loan for a car thats left with 2 yrs.

so got to prepare some downpayment for such cars.

 

easier to get wrx or evo, just not as rare and nice as the silvia

[Fusheng87]

well, i am really in love with silvia.

therefore i am thinking about it, i think the fuel and installment wise shouldnt cause much of a problem.

it's the road tax and insurance renewal that kills.
