The time has finally come to part ways with my FTO :(

Just seeing where the market is at and where there's interest as i'm in no rush at all to sell. I know what I payed for it and what's gone into it, and it might be ambitious but to the right person they might see the value.

The problem with cars is you never get the money you spent on them back. For example, you can say you spent 30k but you're not gonna get it back.

Why's everyone selling aye! Good luck man, hope you get a decent price, it's a clean vR so that should do you some favours anyway.

If he wrapped it blue it would definitely be worth $10k

Goodluck Tom!

Doubt you'd find a cleaner Version R other than Brendans old turbo GPvR and dstocks.

They are going up in price in japan but the local market is low.

lol @ you bastards...

The only reasoning behind my pricing was because Nath bought Renz's FTO for $7000...and I got around 5 offers over the period of 2-3 months all over $6k for my fully hectic blue scissor door FTO 8) ... So I put it up for $10, brought it down to 9...got an offer at $7750, but turns out I had an oil leak so had to re-negotiate to $7350. Took 4 months to sell. I knew I was selling to a niche market, I knew it would take a while (even though in my case, not as long as I thought), but it doesn't change the fact that it did sell. Besides I think Sahin mentioned he sold his FTO last year for $8k lol, so anything is possible...especially if you have an FTO as clean as Tom's.

Glws mate, I'm sure the right buyer will come along eventually for it. Hang in there.
