Thinking of Selling my Pride and Joy 450BHP Monster!
Black Toyota Mr2 GT Turbo MK2 Rev2 L reg 1993
85,000 Miles on the Clock
2 Months Tax
MOT now valid till August 2011
Running in the region of 450fwhp Have graphs when Ryan @ 2bar Tuning mapped it on the dyno and it made a comfortable 401.3fwhp @ 1.5bar. The engine was re-built at 80k, so only done 5k miles.
This car is in immaculate condition, No expense spared, Very fast car and sounds fantastic. I will be very sad to see it go!
Reasons for selling Have a company car, doesnt get used enough & now have a house

I've spent alot of money on it over the years, but know i'll never get that back, but i can now say i've had my fast car! Time to let it go to a new home and to someone who will enjoy it as much as i have.
Ok Great. Just let me know in due course.

C'mon guys!
You'll buy the cheaper standard car and get the BHP bug and end up spending a fortune, just bite the bullet get yourself a bargain of what it would cost to do!
If the standard looking exterior is putting you off... just imagine sat at a set of lights and a supercar pulling up alongside looking all smug. Out gun him off the lights then ask him how much he paid for his!
Can't beat being subtle!

Sorry havent got the original lights. The ones on the car are what came with it when i bought it 4 years ago.
Re: [FINALIZED] 450BHP - Mr2 GT Turbo - Rev 2 - 85K - VERY FAST! **price drop**
Nice car, out of my price range. What might be putting people off is spending over £5K on a car that they then have to immediately MOT. You say its passed everytime, but its not encouraging to potential buyers to have to risk an expensive MOT straight after purchase.
I am going to live forever, or die trying!

My thoughts exactly!
I was unable to MOT it until the 27th July 2010.
It has been MOT'd this morning and happy to say its PASSED!
So car now has MOT for 1 yr.

I hate to say it, but I think the big powered cars appeal to a much smaller market than standard(ish) cars these days.
There could be absolutely nothing wrong, but when ever they go up for sale, they're the ones that hang around the longest.
