You Need This: Unmodified S15 Nissan Silvia Spec R

Looking at the specs, it’s easy to see why the Nissan Silvia Spec R proved to be so popular with racers and drifters alike: Rear-wheel-drive, turbocharged SR20 engine, six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

Not that it's cheap, but for what it is that seems fairly reasonable!

In my opinion, one of the most attractive cars out there.

If you want to talk about "worth it", an GR86/BRZ will depreciate instantly the moment you take it off the lot and will continue to slide down until after ten or twelve years it will be worth a Big Mac and a case of Mountain Dew.  The Silvia will not do this, as it's already hit the bottom of its curve and is on the upswing.

They always have great cars there. I love stopping by whenever I can. You do need to put down a 30% deposit to test drive a car though lol

Might be worth it. They’ve had a few cars that have kept me up at night. 

Regret not keeping my S14.....
