jonathanc Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Interested in a p/x with cash your way for a white/silver/gold Aristo V300 (other colours could be considered) so if you know anyone with one please give me a kind PM Thanks! Here's my add from PH : I am searching for a white or silver Aristo V300 located in Scotland. Colours could be negotiable though. Reason for looking : Kids + wife forcing a more sensible option Criterias: 1) The car must be located in Scotland - or fairly close. [*Edited the willing to travel to Scotland bit out since it does sound like I'm asking for too much. ] 2) I will offer a p/x with my 1994 White Toyota Celica GT4 WRC plus cash up to £2500 your way. 3) Car must have history/well maintained. 4) Car must have no to little modifications. My car details: I initially bought this GT4 as a winter/spring project. However, as for the reasons mentioned above, I would prefer something more sensible. The car has a very low mileage for its age (around 96k in kilometers). Has the following mods installed: 1)FMIC with evo7 core 2)Bailey's BOV (I have HKS SSQV imitation from eBay that's brand new - I just can't get the Circlip in so it's lying around un-used) 3) HKS Turbo Timer 4) Cobra driver + passenger seats with rails - Looks and feels brand new, no rips or tears 5) Sound system worth over £500 - Alpine high end HU, Alpine sub amp, 12" sub+enclosure, custom 6x9 speakers with enclosure and amp 6) 6k HID main beams (dipped) 7) GTSChris MBC 8) Custom K&N Air Intake I also recently bought four brand new Uniroyal Rainsport tyres for the car. Got all four wheels re-balanced as well. Also recent service to the car like dissy cap, leads, plugs and oil. Other words £££ spent recently on the car. More details if you are interested.

PJ Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You will be extremely lucky to get a white or gold one, and given their rarity I think that you're going to have to look at travelling to get one. Not many are being imported these days and there are few available on the market, they are becoming quite the rare beasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many are being imported these days and there are few available on the market, they are becoming quite the rare beasty. Yes indeed true. Actually most of them went to Europe There's a stealership up in Aberdeen that wants to sell a black (non Vertex I think) Aristo for 15 grand! That's a wee bit overpriced me thinks. However, I thought no harm posting a Wanted thread, who knows someone out there might have one lying about locked away in their garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The £15k one is also registered as a 2002 so don't forget the tax bracket on that too, brucey bargain that one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a bit overpriced that one. There's a white one in Bournemouth but the emailed I sent to the company got bounced so I don't know if its still operating. White V300 is just so sexy! Mate of mine just got a 330Ci so I am sort of looking for something more comfy and the Aristo just fits the bill! Too bad they are so rare now...

PJ Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm partial to the white V300, but then I am a little biased in that regard. This is my MK2, though I also have a blakc Mk1 http://nickseager.net/gallery/albums/userpics/IMG_0386.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 What about the Wee Man AKA (Jurgen) sure he could get one over in Japan?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 They are more expensive in Japan currently than they are selling for over here, and then you have the import costs on top too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 What about the Wee Man AKA (Jurgen) sure he could get one over in Japan?? Well was hoping to find one closer to home plus I will need to p/x for it as well with my GT4... Might think about it for the future though. Been browsing Jap sites and some Aristos are just too sexy to be true! edit: I wonder why they don't sell them here though, would have been just perfect for a rep-mobile. RWD, 3.0litre Twin Turbo with paddleshift as an option. Would really be a 3 series competitor imo. GS300 is just a bit weak for a car that size...

jonathanc Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Rofl found the thread linked by you PJ in clubaristo I guess I was asking too much asking the buyer to drive up lol. (Although the GT ex owner did exactly that ) Will remove that. Still hoping for an Aristo in Scotland though. Don't tell me there's zilch here! edit: Just saw your Aristo! Looks nice mate! Although I'm not that sure about the rear spoiler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Seriously that car was singing a song. When I bought it the guy realised he'd f*cked the price up. As I walked around it I spotted some top sh*t on it. Then I saw the receipts!! He didn't know what Tein was but I did!! He didn't know it's been professionally converted to MPH with a proper UK dash conversion. He didn't know that its had a full stainless exhaust system fitted but I did. I've paid roughly what the car has had spent on it in the last 3 years. Fantastic. You want an aristo I'd suggest you look at the one place they do come up and thats the aristo forum!! OH and BTW you'll have no choice but to travel because right now and for the last 3 years aristo's have been cheaper here in the UK than in Japan. The majority of them have come in through southern ports so oop norf ones are even fewer and further between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 yeah just looking around. Not in a rush since I pretty much enjoy my GT4 but that's not too family friendly So far I am on clubaristo but not many cropping up there. Well wish me luck I am Aristo addicted! It's basically a Supra TT with four doors and more luxury. heheheh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Might be worth having a look at this one http://clubaristo.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23042 Nice mods and mileage on that one, and up in your neck of the woods too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get the details of the bournemouth one chap I'm happy to go on over and have a sniff at it and take you some pics? Edit : Also Dangerous Brain here is a local near Bournemouth and owns an Aristo, maybe he could help check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
