Toyota/Lexus Soarer 2.5 TT (1jz-gte) - Drifting forum

chunk · 30-06-2008, 20:32

**PRICE REDUCED TO £1900**

With regret i have to sell the new daily car already as i need the money. I bought this off Mark 'Buff' Luney a couple of weeks ago, I've registered and taxed it since then, also fitted new rear brake pads, done an oil change and will be fitting new rear shocks when they turn up from the suppliers.

It's a 1993, 'K' registered Japanese Import. I am the 1st registered UK owner, It only came in the country about 2 months ago.

It has 10 months MOT and 5 months Tax.

It's an Automatic, with sports mode. The gearbox has NO faults and has a very smooth gear change.

It is Metallic wine red which complements the car perfectly. I have only seen one other Soarer this colour and it was a V8. I'm unsure if its a rare colour or now though. The body is very good with no rust. There are a few small scratches and one or two stone chips, but its a 15 year old car. The near side front of the bumper has a scuff on it, which I'm hoping to get sorted before the car is sold. No other damage anywhere on the car. It has JDM window defenders.

The odometer is showing 20700km's, which i believe is incorrect. It was showing 19804km's when i collected it from the docks. My guess is that it's had some new clocks at some point. Unfortunately with it being an Import, I didn't get any clarification of this.

The engine is unbelievably quiet, pulls so very well and doesn't miss a beat. It's completely stock and is still limited to 180km/h (112mph). The 1JZ-GTE is rated to 300bhp as standard. The brakes are ABS.

It's just received an oil change, new set of rear pads and a valet.

This car has electric EVERYTHING, windows, mirrors, sunroof, seats! Also full Air Conditioning which has been converted to R134a gas.

The interior has a few marks, mainly to the centre console where the Japanese owner had a phone holder (or another object) stuck to it. Some of the glue has ran, but I'll hopefully have most of it off before the car is sold. There a couple of cigarette burns to the drivers velour seat also. It has an 'Eclipse' Double din Radio/CD/Minidisc stereo, also a 7 speaker system with integrated sub woofer. The rear windows are limo tinted.

It has stock 16" alloys with good tyres.

It has gold badges which I'm told is an upgrade from the factory.

This is a VERY good car with a couple of small bad points. I was AMAZED at the MPG i got on a motorway drive, i worked it out to be around 38mpg, even around built up area's i was getting over 25mpg, and thats including using the turbo's a few times aswell.

I'm honestly gutted to have to sell the Soarer so soon, but needs must.

The car is Located in Leicester, test drives no problem, but I'd need to see a valid insurance certificate.

£1900

Thanks

Rich
