Resell, you're not going to be selling this to some bloke cross shopping a Camry. Of course you're going to sell it to an enthusiast, and enthusiast will pay. I'll put it this way, I'm not into baseball cards so a $100k card is worthless to me, but my value of it doesn't affect the value of it to those who are into that sort of thing.
The amount of time produced shows it wasn't around long. The s15 never left the jdm in any form. Your s13 was imported here. That's truely apples and oranges. What happens when some random bits break? You can't roll over to nissan/autozone/junk yards and grab a replacement. You have to special order everything or start fabbing/tinkering. Sounds like a pain to me unless you are a professional auto mechanic.

People will pay what they will pay, that's true. Is the s15 a classic? I highly doubt it. I don't really know. If I'm paying for some imported pain in the ass nissan, it better say GT-R or I'm going to pass. Importing a s15 seems like importing a gts-t skyline to me...why bother?
