Car May Be For Sale Soon, Want To Gather Interest

[riko666]

Ok, as my " poll " implies, im thinking of getting a Cynos, but for this to happen I will need to sell my Paseo and then pay the remainder of the difference. But yeah, I just want to get an idea of what the Paseo is worth so I can get an idea of what ill be going through to get the car! Also if anyone is potentially interested, just let me now...

Anyway, the details of the car; Its a pristine white Si with 64,000mi on the clock. Everything about the car is perfect, clutch has lots of life in it, cambelt was recently changed, has an MOT till February I think, Tax till January, tyres are brand new (including the full size spare in the boot) and all electronics etc work. The only " worn " thing is the driver's carpet, apart from that it is mechanically sound. As for " modifications ", all the things carried out were service items, so changed the oil for fully synth Shell Helix Ultra 5w40, changed the oil filter for a TRD item (toyota performance version, which flows higher and filters better), new radiator cap, new plug wires, new spark plugs. I then replaced some other interior / exterior details, like fitted clear repeaters, brighter bulbs, and inside I added a cup holder and cubby hole from the 1st generation Paseo, which I feel was greatly needed!

The only fault with the car is the back bumper...basically when I was changing the oil, I kinda pushed the car off the ramps and it backed into a big metal box in the garage, which resulted in some flaking paint, very minimal but still worth a mention! For pictures of the car, check out my garage! So yeah, please let me know how much is worth! Thanks

[riko666]

yup, noticed that...some are being optimistic and trying to sell their higher mileage st's for £2800...might give that a try...

[Richie (Paseo)]

Yeah id say try around £2500, but personally id stick with ur current car and do the 4efte swap :)

Sorry to steal your thread but how much do u think id get for mine, nicely modded and only done 38,000 miles?

[Jamesb4uk]

[Paseo2nr]

part it out! i want the cupholders!!!!!!!

[DazH]

It seems everyone is getting the bug to sell, been looking at a few other motors myself this week and have to say very tempting to let mine go even though I'll lose the 5 grand I've spent in the last two years :(

Only time will tell I suppose ;)

[riko666]

im selling to get a cynos though, not a different car....

[Richie (Paseo)]

The only reason im thinking about selling is to buy that paseo TURBO!!! lol

[Jamesb4uk]

richie - you could turbo yours for less than the price of Matts 'seo...

Where? no one round here wants to do it, wireing is too difficult!

If I buy matts, And can sell mine for around 2.5k - 3k id only really be paying around £1500 for the conversion :)

[toyotasera.co.uk]

Actually if Richie could sell his and buy the turbo one which has a number of extras, it would be quite a good buy

The problem is wiring. The wiring on Matt's was a pain in the wotsit - he said it took JB Motorsport 2 weeks to get it done as there was no resemblence between the Starlet wiring and the Paseo Gen 2 loom and everything had to be traced through and each wire on the ECU wired individually - there are over 40 wires leading to the ECU.

Plus timescale - to convert a car you have to find a donor car or half cut, which can take 4-6 weeks to arrive if shipped in from overseas, then the swap has to happen which could be subject to a few weeks delay. Matt's car is on the market now.

my paseo is now officially, for sale

http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/CARS_...200542211482788

[paseoGT4]

Id like to know what paseos actually sell for. My 1st one sold 18 months ago for 2500, my last one sold for 1300, i think people over value the car because its so rare people dont generally look for one unless they are an absolute bargain. Ive seen a mint one with 14,000 genuine miles from new and they let it go for 2500 in the end. please let us know how much interest you get - apart from the people who try and get u to sell it elsewhere.

Dude paid 800 for his which sounds a similar spec to yours mate, think u should be prepared mate. price of second hand cars is rock bottom at mo, ive seen a G7 celica (same shape as mine) sell for £5000

[riko666]

his is an st with a higher mileage

[Paseo2nr]

offer still good for cupholders.

[riko666]

they stay in the car :P

and geez guys, talk about about support...

[Paseo2nr]

ah, but what price would make them NOT stay in the car???? you can ship them with my soap :D:D

[riko666]

i have yet to find that soap dude, but i dunno...i got those cupholders purposefully from the us, and i dont have the blanking plates to cover the holes if i were to sell them to you :P
