98 Supra VVT-i twin turbo - IMMACULATE!

[f3nr15]

With much reluctance, I am putting my baby up for sale.

In the one year that I have owned it, this car has been showered with TLC, and is one of the best kept Supras you will lay eyes on.

History:

• Build date July 1998

• Rare Quicksilver colour

• One Japanese owner

• Auction grade 4

• Imported by me through J-Spec Imports in mid 2004

• Just under 70000 kms at time of import

• Currently 81000 kms

• Modifications – brand new aftermarket brakes, wheels, clutch, suspension, car security (detailed below)

• Services (detailed below) – one major service at time of import (timing belt, spark plugs, clutch, all engine fluids, etc etc), one minor service at 75000kms

• NO ENGINE MODS! Never boosted, raced, or abused

• Engine warmed up for 10 minutes before each and every run, and idled for 2 minutes before shutting off, to reduce thermal stresses on engine and prolong engine life

• All gear changes made before 3000 rpm to prolong engine life

• Washed every week, waxed every month

Pictures:

These photos were taken earlier this year; the wheels have since been changed, and the current wheels are pictured at the bottom. I will try to get some pictures taken of the car with the new wheels on.

Location and Pricing:

The car is currently located in Newcastle, NSW, but I am down in Sydney approximately once a month.

The asking price is $44000, which a steal for a car in this condition - I guarantee you that the first serious buyer to see the car will purchase it.

Any professional inspection is welcome.

SORRY, NO TEST DRIVES!

Thats all well and good but how much do you want for it.

[f3nr15]

** BONUS OFFER **

I'm going to include the original Volk GT-C wheels (as pictured above) in the purchase price, as well as the WORK VS-TXs that are on the car at the moment.

The Volks are worth $3600 by themselves.

There's already been a fair bit of interest in the car, so the bonus wheels are a bit of a deal sweetener.
