I read the subject, I click and scroll all the way to the bottom and make my offer in the blind.

I offer every dollar I have in my checking account. Damn - I'm broke.

But $183.02 will probably be low-balling. Yeah I get it, no response to low-ballers. But while at the bottom of the post, I see part of the last picture.

I chose to re-negotiate. What do I get for $183.02 with her???

LOL

$8.5k

Dislike the paint alot, dislike XXR, dislike dyed interior.
Maybe less than 8.5k because of mileage...
If it was all black with decent headlights and taillights(dislike), I would say 9-10k because it's 5-spd RHD(like).
Interior looks great. It looks like you take care of it so thats good. I liked your previous rims better.
All just an opinion, I'm sure others would pay more.

^ Have to agree. The problem with making a car unique and to your own style is that it's not what other people would generally like. Props for individuality, but they're going to factor in the cost of transforming it into their own (paint, etc) and try to negotiate with that mindset.

alot of people on here dislike 2 tones period.. lol meh. was trying to do something different with it since every single color is already on a soarer or lexus..

also ya the headlights are on my list to go if i choose to keep it. other tails were bought but never showed up.... may look into other rims, a friend of mine deals with Axis.

then like i said if i keep it i will be beefing up the suspension (sway bars, links, bushings, etc etc) and tackling the engine.. unsure there.. single turbo, 2jz, who knows.. the car definitly gets looks which i guess is what i was going for and its damn fast, always couldbe faster.

p.s. the mileage?? its kilometers, not 136,000 miles..

6-8k. The only thing that has going for it is the 1jz. Not even sure if thats a R154 or a w58 from the vague description, but shouldn't change the value much.

Though your wheels are a bit too big for my taste, and you chose a cheaper brand, that fact remains that you saved this Soarer. Your current paint job is "unique", but it looks like a quality job was done. The paint when you got it was Hideous! I searched for a car specifically looking for black interior, so I can't relate to dying it, but again, it looks like a good job was done. I would put it in the 10k-11k range, but that's the kind of money I would ask for my own car.
