Swampy442 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 You pay more for just the engine! I might have it for spares to go on mine, need an engine as it happens lol. Nice mug shot btw John Can you get a pic of the VIN plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Put it on driftworks and that will sell:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Any photos of the underside? Has he still got the original wheels? Thinking of it for the wife, she likes Soarers. It's not the lacquer lifting on the paint is it, after a quick blow over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the lacquer lifting on the paint is it, after a quick blow over? That's all the photos I've got at the moment, Chris - but I'll be seeing him later. It's the same guy who's fitting the decat pipes I got off you last week - he works for Lexus. I think the paint is a genuine scratch - he's had the majority of it taken out - but it looks worse in the photo than it is IMO. Don't think he has the wheels - probably best to drop him an email, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 As we all know imported car mileage is really a moot point w/out documentation. Mine has done 90,000 kms and is on its second set of turos and engine lol. Thats as honest and genuine a twin turbo as Ive seen, but the arse has fallen out of the Soarer market badly. Even so Id say thats 1200 all day long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaruss Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Had to let my Soarer go for peanuts recently, even though it needed power steering pump changing. Still see it regularly though. They are as cheap as chips now for a lot of car. Steering wheel could have been changed from an aftermarket one back to toyota like mine was when i bought it. Mine had done 53,000 genuine mile, full service history but steering wheel looked as though it had been round the clock. Swampy, you missed a good car.

Not sure yet, Chris - I've not spoken to him today. He might have to give you a call later though, re the BCC, as the car isn't starting with it on - so he just wants to ask you something, you can talk then - will be this afternoon Swamp442: Craig, I'll be getting a pic of the VIN plate for you later when I go to see him.
