Might be getting a...., .... GT4! (pics) Options

[KAMiX]

Found this on the net this morning.. only $23,000 AUD. 1996 Model, 70,000 kms. Ready to mod

I can organise the cash, I just would need to do a bit of balancing until I sold my current celi. Only problem is its interstate so I'd have to fly over there to check it out, and my boss is on annual leave this week so I can't leave town.

I think this guy only just imported it (from living in a different country) and doesn't know the market value because over here they are worth a good $25-35k. It looks like it has basic mods: wheels, hks air filter, blitz blow off value, TRD adjustable coilover supension front and back, TRD short shifter, cusco sturt bar font and back, momo steering wheel, razo gear knob, alarm, turbo timer, guages etc.

Any thoughts? I have been working towards selling the car lately anyhow, other maybes are a 2000 WRX sti, Skyline R34 G2.5-t (2.5lt turbo RWD), Supra MKIV, or my favourite, but which I can't afford yet, a BMW M3.

One things for sure, if I buy this car, I am going to spend a ****load on it.

I'd go for either the Supra or Skyline, depending on which you think looks better, performance wise theyre similar, I think the 2.5 has 2 intake manifolds and 2 exhaust manifolds for both its turbos which prevents bottlenecking which I admit is better than the Supra... I dunno.. .You can always go single turbo on the Supra and spool that sucker with some nitrous! .. Either one is awesome..

[ghostdog]

get it. fast before someone else snatches it up

[Digndoug]

I would say get it, but no-doubt look at an M3

Nice car.....good price......You should go and check it out and who cares about your boss
About the other options you have...If you are not going for this one forget the WRX,forget the R34 cuz its RWD and its not GT-R,forget the M3(Even my grandmum owns a BMW) you got only the Supra...

Go for the GT4

[KAMiX]

Yeah I am very tempted so going to check out the finance and call the guy tomorrow (public holiday today).

I have explained this on here a few times, but if you don't know, Australia's import laws state you cannot import a car that was commercially released in Australia. In 1994 or 1995, 70 something (I think it was 78) GT4's were distributed to the Toyota dealers for sale. Another one of the import laws is that once a car has been available for 15 years, it is free to be imported in any numbers. I don't know how this guy got this one in, but I think he might have a visa in another country and imported it as personal vehicle. That's what I need to find out because it's a very cheap price...

Magic about the skyline.. I can't afford a GTR unless it's a 32, and I don't really like them. The other thing i was gonna do was get a R33 GTS-4, which is a n/a 2.5lt, but has the AWD ATTESA ETS and 4WS Super HICAS of the GTR. Then I could swap the GTR engine RB26DETT into it and have a GTR Would be a good project but I need a new house with a bigger garage before I take on a swap like that.

UPDATE:

Well that was a complete ****ing disaster. After not being able to get a car loan approved in time to buy it, I rang my dad, who I've had a real bad relationship with since I was a brat (he is a multi millionaire, cheated on my mum when she was in hospital giving birth to my bro, and I grew up living with her... completely poor...).

Anyways I asked what he thought of me using some of my grandfather's will money (which he has no control over... it's in my name) to cover the purchase until I sell my current celi... and he went completely ballistic and disowned me again... not only that, but he is the ****ing director of the company I work at, and he had me fired.

So I have to have my laptop in by tomorrow, I most probably won't get a referal from my boss even though I worked my ass off the last 2 years, I'm moving out of my apartment back to my mums, and most probably giving the white celica back to my dad because I don't want him to have anything else he can use to get at me with...

So I am basically going back two years in my life, no car, no apartment, no job, no father (meh). I totally don't understand this guy he has 5 yachts, a farm, 3 or 4 houses, a viper, a cobra, fake tits for his wife... and he can't deal with me using 5k that my pa gave me?

So yeah, add the fact that I'm not getting my dream car onto all of that, and then shoot me please.

**** IT I'M GETTING STONED!

[ghostdog]

[KAMiX]

haha yeah it was the stickiest ickiest **** ever.

Nah man it's all true.. I am sitting at home today on a thursday wondering wtf to do since I have worked for the last two years. Talked to the finance manager and sorted out my payout and stuff..

And you don't have to worry about offending me, go for gold son!! . I'm not interested in payback or trashing his **** or whatever, that will just keep the 'battle' going and it's not worth it. I'd like to think I'm above that...


edit: Oh yeah thanks for all the kind replies btw

If I was you, I would hunt him down and strangle him with my own hands until his eyes pop out and he turns blue. But then again, that's if he was my dad. I love my dad and I would give the world to him. But not your dad for doing you like that. Hell, I couldn't live in peace knowing I could be living large if it wasn't for my greedy SOB father.
