Very Nice find, but in your link, you noted the S13 SE was rare. That's not true. The hatchback had only two trim levels, base and SE. The SE had one or both of the popular "option packages" (sport or luxury). I suspect the "rarest" S13's were the SE's that had both option packages. Not sure if yours is one of them.

Well after owning 9 of these, I'm more than sure this is the SE model that had the best of both worlds. I'm gonna do a little HW on it just to make sure all info is accurate:-)

Good luck with the homework, but the SE badge does not command much of a premium as some other cars top lines (especially after 20 years). Both the base model and SE 240sx were mechanically identical. The main difference were the bundled options the SE had from the factory, that could also be ordered individually in the base model. Some of the options included alloy wheels, power windows/locks, that foam deck spoiler, and a little extra chin piece.

There was an LE hatchback too. And according to the brochures, base models could not be had with power windows/locks.

Regardless, SE's are not rare...

Only 240SX I would call rare was the model that came with an optional roof ;)

Clean car but needs a carwash :)

I think the LEs are much rarer than SEs and base models

Not quite. The rarest S13's out there are the ones without a douchebag piloting them.
