Have to agree it seems to be due to availability. Trouble is st202's don't seem to rot or break as much as some cars; and they actually sold quite a lot ukdm, plus all the greys. The ST202 also had quite a mature owner base from new. They're no good for drifting so don't get killed on track or rapped around a lamb post. I've recently decided to get a st202 and went through all the usual suspects before settling on one. There are loads available compared to the FTO, Pulsar, 200sx, Early Evo's, VTI civic's, Integra's, etc. Other abundant quick(ish) cars seem to have been hit too. e36 BMW, 306 gti-6 and the prelude.
Still I'm not complaining, means I can sell my BMW and get a really nice st202!
Though equally I'll only get £1400 if I'm lucky for my mint 80k 323 sport coupe. :rolleyes:
