Put it this way.

In 1995 the Mercedes I bought was worth $75,000.
When I bought it. it was less than the last 4 digits of the price tag.

It's not the same I realise, different cars, etc.
But fact is, you're going to spend 42K on something worth a shadow of that in time to come when you sell...

Your FTO would give the 86 a run for its own money...

You know what the first thing I thought after reading this thread.

"Hmmm, wonder what side the exhaust pipe comes through on those."

There might be a new source of MR2 style mufflers on the market for the Veilside rear bumper setup.

Ive seen several,

TBH i think they are a bit soft... they had a real opportunity to build something spectacular and instead built something mainstream that blends in with all the other traffic... and the interior is just saddening! there is nothing new or quirky... it could just be any other toyota on the inside...

I've seen plenty around now,
Saw 2 on Saturday driving around Dural (their current target market! :lol:)
Still love them,
Just waiting patiently now for all the stars to line up (Read: prices to drop)

EDIT: Best thing about them is that they are fiancé approved! :thumright:
