selling the vt 5speed for a soarer

[redcv6]

hi guys im really really interested in selling the vt for a late model lexus or toyota soarer. i want you guys to honestly tell me what you think of the idea.
What i have Now:
vt series 2 spack 5 speed manual
140,000kms
full exhaust including extractors
custom ss front bar
dvd player
fosgate sub and amp, and soundstream amp, and splits
vx ss spoiler

What im looking at:
1996-7 lexus or toyota soarer
must be black, must have dvd, must have perfect leather seats, must have sunroof. must be a turbo or v8 (rather the 8) i want a manual again. less than 140000kms must be perfect condition, gotta be down hear in melbourne, not buying interstate again.

so wat do you guys suggest i do? i am on p's but dont really give a sh*t about the power laws, as i know im a safe driver and will not be a f*ckhead behind the wheel or put anyones life in danger. would probably rather the 4.0ltr v8 but dont mind the turbo

let me know.
cheers johnny

i hope u have a deep wallet becasue those soarers cost a mint to fix when they stuff up.

i know a fella who had the twin turbo 4L v8 and it cost him ****loads to fix when things went south..

but they do go good... he swapped the twin turbs for a single t66 and it hammered alot beter.

if i were u id go buy a supra instead

They are hot cars, I've driven them before and I tell you the get the 8. You need deep pockets to keep that thing and if it stuffs up.... well it ain't gonna be cheap. Soarer is more of a luxury cruiser than a sports car.

How much are you willing to pay for??

[Billo55]

Pretty cool car
IMO 300zx is better
I'm petty sure that the 4.0 didn't come in manual.

[f1tzy]

they didnt. only the 6's did and they were ultra rare

[redcv6]

lol "do i have deep pockets" quite the opposite, i have never had a job and am 80% sure im going to uni next year. i knew i would have a hard time fnding a manual but were unaware that they were non existant, kind of changes things for me. i was looking to spend around the $15000 mark to purchase the car, then from money i obtain in the next 6 months, will put it into the engine and achieve the 12second mark i want in my daily. see im also planning on buying a 1968 camaro in the next few years ands as that will cost abit to restore i want to make sure my daily keeps me happy for atleast another 4 years.

[f1tzy]

why are you looking to buy an expencive car that is expensive to repair and to get parts for when you have no job. let alone make it a 12 second car. normally a job is 1st on the agenda

[redcv6]

fair call, but don't you agree if its what i want to do, well then i should go for it. 12 second car is something i have always wanted ever since i got really interested in cars at the age of 15, i saw the 12 second mark something to be proud of. i still have money tucked away + the money that i get from the commodore so its not like im going into debt by buying this thing. i understand you guys are just trying to guide me make sure i dont throw money away which i thank you for, but i would really appreciate you just stating what you feel about the car and whether i should go for the change
kind regards johnny

LMAO, why would you buy one of those ugly pieces of crap?

If you want a fast car by a nice VY/VZ SS throw a turbo on it and say hello to a nice sounding, great looking 11 second monster.

Or for a budget of 15k buy a nice VX SS, at least then you wouldn't look like a grandma going shopping!

everyone wants something, doesnt me we all go out and blow money we dont have to achieve that. initial purchase cost is nothing. not only will you be in debt for that, when things break, you gotta pay for it, then there are modifications to pay for, general maintenance. youve really gotta sort out your priorities. a part time job wont get you this car any time soon. start saving money

[sganro]

Can i just say that from a uni students point of view (if you do end up at uni), having a car that costs alot to run/fix/modify is not good. From my experience, the worst thing for uni students is pouring money into a car. There are plenty of other things that money could be spent on. (Unless you parents are forking out for everything). But at the end of the day its up to you.

[Grennan]

I agree with what stocky said 100%. Sort out your priorites. These cars cost a lot of money to maintain, let alone to get modifications done to them. My suggestion is get a job, and wait till you are in uni before you go and buy a new car, atleast if your in uni you can weigh up the expenses judged on your own experience and can budget for a car. From experience, and i can tell you other students will tell you the same thing. Raking in enough pay to do the things you want to do and studying full time can be quite difficult.
