Hi all :D

My names Mike. I currently tool around in a '99 celica gt with all the trimmings which I had no intension of selling untill my girlfriends boss offered me ?5.5k for it and since can't get the thought of getting an s15 out of my head. Crazy thing is for the non turbo s my insurance have said it will be the same quote as my uk celica :confused:

So now i'm on the look out for an s15 any body got any ideas where to get one or any advice :thumbs:

Hi Mike, and welcome :wave:

Ask your insurer for a quote for the Spec R and see what they say. You may want to try some of the specialist import insurers for quotes (check Useful Threads).

First place to look for an S15 is on Autotrader. That'll give you a starting point for the importers who sell them. If you REALLY want a Spec S, good luck. No new imports of them will be coming into the UK because there is no model report for it. The most likely place you'll find one is in a private sale. And you'll be lucky to find one of those, because people aren't selling them due to them being worth feck all...

Well, a trader recently struggled to get rid of a Spec S. Landed up going for about ?3500. And that was low mileage and a rare colour. That's worse depreciation than the S14...

A decent Spec R will cost you ?12-?14k. That gives you an idea of the difference... Apart from the turbo version of the SR20 engine, you get upated brakes, suspension, tyres, a six speed gearbox, the helical torsen diff, and an extra 90bhp..
