FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi all, Im Steve but people call me Sav. Im another jap car fan. I came across this site while looking to buy an fto. so if anyone has an fto (any model) without taxi clicks then please msg me. Im looking for a quick buy and im paying cash.

Im in Vic minutes away from the CBD. If you are close and have a good AUTO fto for sale then please pm me.

Im looking for an fto with:

less than 150,000 kms on board
auto (tiptronic) transmission
any colour
No body kits
No mods

Cheers Sav[/size]

Hi there, welcome to the forums ... i think your better off going through tradingpost / carsales (if you already havent) for an FTO, as i dont think many fto owners on here are looking to sell they're cars.

Already searched carsales and the trading post. There are not many online. I have gone and seen 8 of them already just not found the right one.

Any suggestions when looking for one?

Gonna get a manual fto or an 86 ???

I bought my GPvR from Version One Auto Imports they are in Sydney though. They still have one GPvR tiptronic with sunroof (Red) selling for $12,900 and a Black facelift GPX with manual transmission for $13,900.

It is still in ebay heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1997-Mitsubishi- ... dZViewItem

Yeah I was the one who bought the black one. Got it for $12,000 with a free keychain .

Yes it looks well maintained and drives very nice and all stock. I chose it over the red one. But the red one looks nice too except that it is lowered a bit.

wow, soo cheap ... i feel like killing myself for how much i paid for my dodgy vR

that red ones pretty nice (sunroof and rims and lowered abit) but then the black seats arent anywhere nice as the red seats aye?

Yes the black seats look ordinary. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for yours? But white ones are very nice too and doesn't need washing as often as black ones.

*fcuked up cv joints and wheel hubs and bearings.
*no history on how the hell i got a 4speed tip gearbox instead of the 5speed im MEANT to be having.

Bahahahaha

i would love a little 86. THing is they're so ridiculously expensive and I havent found a sexy one that doesnt have a beams 3sge ca18 or sr20 conversion. I just want a completely massaged 4agze that hasnt done a million km. But being a toyota.. they will live a long time. Lots of nice ones in japan me thinks.

Oh i bought my vR from a dealer (bastards!!) for 18000 but it was immaculate except for one small dent. Grade 4, first owner, waited sh*t long for compliance etc.. 10 grand later im down heaps of money. Only major problem was a fuel filter that gave up and decided to let sediment clog my injectors. It sounded like a volvo after that but its all fixed. Its A1 atm. Heaps of nice mods (which ill sell off seperately).

Price as yet..undecided until i get my motorbike.

oh i was pissed, but then pictures doesnt tell you enough (i bought the fto w/o being able to view it or test drive it.) biggest dickhead i am

but then i couldnt find any vR around sydney for sale besides edward fags autocentre who wanted 20k for a '98 vr with 95kms

kind of wish i about this forum earlier

Oh well, there is always a next time. And next time you'll be a lot wiser too so it's a good learning experience. Mine is a '99 with 70,660 km when I got it. And everthing works and in almost new condition. I love going around roundabouts in it because it sticks to the ground when cornering.
