just saw pictures of the car on carsales, i must say it does look like a beautiful car. quick question though, was the engine bay sprayed at the same time?
surely for $13.500 it was a full spray job.
also how many kms does it have?
does it have the genuine dash?
does it also have the auction grade, books and service history from japan?
if so i think you should get between 30-35000, might take anywhere between 6-12 months but someone might pop up.
in my opinion though only if the engine bay is as clean as the body, it has books with service history, its under 80,000kms and a high grade import with auction papers from japan you should get it, but if not id say under 30k
either way, you have a beautiful car mate, and nothing wrong with having her in the garage for the next 10 years waiting for the price your after, only problem with that is you have a 2 door sunday driver that you wouldnt want to put too many kms on due to resale value.
and if you want that ve gts or prado, you can either afford to have one with a $30.000 car in the garage, or a cheaper car to drive around in and a $30.000 weekend cruiser.
guess they are your otions
either way, congrats on the nice car
