Here in the US this will be a huge issue for many! Most states require inspections on a regular basis. I will use my state for this example (Delaware), new cars get a 5yr tag, beyond that if your lucky and chosen at random you will get an extension of 2yrs sight unseen. Once this is over you...
Then you'll be fine! PM me if you start actively looking at them and have questions. Many have asked me what better, the MKIV or the Pcar. total Apples to Oranges!
Only low optioned cars in silver, black and red, go for $67-77k. Most nicer cars are now $80-95k. My car has all the GT2 bits, and makes 600whp, plenty of fun for the street!
I do my own maintenance, no issues other then a coolant temp sensor for $29 and about 2hrs of my time. Oil changes...
This is exactly why I went with a 2009 specifically (Porsche changed the Epoxy on the pipes, Last turbo Mezger Engine, Last Manual Turbo built by Porsche before the VAG buyout unless you had GT2 money)
Mine is a 09', TT, 6spd, White on Red, 1 of 3 built for the US and 1 of 5 for NA. With...
Solidsamir, lets not kid ourselves here...
The MKIV is 25yrs old, fully depreciated and if many are like myself its not a debt (ie. I own it 100%). Your statement above is like saying the ZL1 Camaro will effect the value of a Camaro built in the late 60's.
Car values from generation to...
Those who sell a MKIV (appreciating asset) to buy a MKV (depreciating assets) would be fools in any market...
I certainly will not be a first year adopter and would rather hold out for the GRMN version or whatever is the highest spec'd version.
I built one as well,
-Alpine White
-Black Wheels
-Orange stitching
-Carbon Fiber trim
-Executive Pkg
-M Sport Pkg
$62,600
I can see cars WITHOUT a sunroof being more desirable down the road...
I fear it will have the "Build it for the Blind" Toyota feel where all the buttons are bulky and cumbersome... My inlaws have a Camry and a 4Runner and its some of the worst ergo that I have seen. I think BMW can do it more discreetly but again we all done want it to look like a BMW. Overall...
I know this pain all too well and have been fortunate enough to have owned my MKIV before the extinction of many parts, however I have spent far too much in replacing those which were not 100%. My last interior parts haul was north of $900usd and it was only a few bits and boxes. Thank god my...
Dam the FT-1 is a SEXY car, love it in grey way more then red... I'd agree on the door vents/intakes and I think the pre-production MKV bumper is very well done overall.
I haven't followed the order of the prototypes but its likely an older version or a base version, due to the missing bits. Front chin spoiler and side skirts are also not there, or so it appears...
I've made similar comments and think it would be wise of Toyota to go this route. Tuning support is already there and many M3/M4's are making north of 700 from what I have been reading...
