[act] 1992 Toyota Soarer Uzz31 (v8)

[S T A R 3 3]

Mechanically its great! I bought it off my moms partner who used it as a daily until he retired and got a smaller car with my mom and for 18 months it sat in the carport.

In the past 6 months i spent about 2500 on the engine itself and getting it where it is. All thats left to do is to replace the bushes within the next 6-8 months (as my mechanic says), but obviously sooner the better. i've been using it as my everyday car to work, gym, training - the usual- in the condition the car is in at the moment.

The car currently has:

Removed the airbag suspension, as they become costly to repair and replaced them with Bilsten shocks and springs - so you cant adjust height anymore (awww) - but handles AWESOMELY now!

Dual, cat-back exhaust

NGK platinum spark plugs, New leads and Coil packs.. which were all done recently (February 13 2009) and less than 2000kms on them (receipts)

we have repaired the wiring .. so all seats can be adjusted, bum warmers on drivers/passenger seat work, drivers seat is adjustable and now has 2 seat settings switch.

Rego until end of June.

$5500

I'm looking for either cash or a straight swap with no cash adjustment.

Yeah a RWC (road worthy cert.) is required to transfer vehicle. I can provide one but you will need to transfer the rego within 14 days. After that it needs to be inspected again to get a RWC. Car has rego until 16/6/09.. so you could use that up before getting a rwc

[Factory 5]

would you be ableto outline what may be needed to pass RWC test? Ive been burnt before in Melb...

[S T A R 3 3]

Hmmmm... from the top of my head

The obvious vin/engine number check.. electrical (headlights, indicators, brakes etc..), not too low, not too loud, horn (i failed that once...). I had an rwc done when i transferred it to my name a month ago and it went through with no dramas.

EDIT: sorry.. did u mean outline what is needed on the soarer to pass the RWC? if so, then.. nothing. I did it a month ago and was in and out of there in 15 mins.. its complete stock except for the shocks, but they weren't phased.

I can provide a rwc on request.. but as I said, the rego runs out in June.. and the RWC is valid for only 2 weeks until you need to get another one.

Price drop to $5200

A/C button starting to blink after 10-15 mins. Still blows cold air, but indicates that its on it's way and will need to be re-gassed. But to be certain, will need to run the A/C diagnostics.

The EMV is getting slow to turn on. Which means the backlight will need to be replaced.. any electronics store/electrician can have it cleaned and replaced (backlight, screen) for around 80-$120. It's been an intermittent problem where it would appear straight away on some occasions, but recently been abit slow and fuzzy to appear.. maybe due to the cold?

Price drop

5000

Engine bay

Bilsteins

Usual wear and tear of front seat. But, back seats are in excellent condition.

[S T A R 3 3]

Please feel free to ask for more pics of anything in particular..!

[S T A R 3 3]

Pretty keen to sell. $4500?

The good:

The car currently has:

Bilsteins shocks

Dual, cat-back exhaust

NGK platinum spark plugs, New leads and Coil packs.. which were all done recently (February 13 2009)

Engine is in great condition, and mechanically sound. Bushes is all thats left to fix.. but stil in driveable condition.

we have repaired the wiring .. so all seats can be adjusted, bum warmers on drivers/passenger seat work, drivers seat is adjustable and now has 2 seat settings switch.

Rego until end of June.

The Bad:

As per mechanic report - Play in frint upper control arm bushes, Radius rod bushes require attention, Rear dif bushes require replacing.

The niggling problems are aesthetic. Drivers door trim will need to be fixed, the handle is loose and will eventually snap. So at the moment, im closing the door by opening the window. Power windows work, but I was advised the motor (?) will burn out eventually or tracks to be regreased (slow to wind up). Front leather (ie seats, steering wheel and centre console) have usual wear and tear. EMV will need to be cleaned and backlight replaced. Any electronics repair shop will be able to do that and they have estimated around $70-120 for that. At the moment the EMV turns on and off intermittently and when there is no image, the options on the screen can still be pressed, but not seen.. you know?

The Ugly:

Well, feel free to ask me more questions. If you want more pictures of anything in particular, please ask, I'll be more than happy to take them.
