Who needs leather seats anyway! slippy in the cold and burn your arse in the summer!

No way you can get a true figure unless you know the exchange rate at the exact time you are trying to work it out for.

 

For 2001, the exchange rate was mainly in the 170s according to exchangerate.com

 

If we take an arbitrary 172 as pretty representative, Dave's figures work out as:

 

SZ £17,151

SZ-R £20,174

RZ-S Auto £21,220

RZ-S Man £22,558

RZ Manual (GZ, perhaps typo?) £26,046

 

A bit disappointing, somehow.

Errr, but I thought these things were like 40K brand new, so you saying that I could have bought a brand new RZ-S instead of buying one that was 3 years old, those prices seem very low....:conf:

 

How much does it work out after import tax etc etc??

 

Probably a lot more??

Well working on rough figures in my head, so they will be rough, this model would probably cost you around the £28K mark, by the time you have had it imported.

 

Still cheap in my eyes when places like JIC were advertising 2000 models with whatever mileage on them for £24/25K, well worth finding the extra reddies to have a untouched, mileageless new one.
