    Had a look through them yeah, the poor lad. Hahaha

    It's a featured advert so he'll be getting a lot of grief for it.

    Seriously, people who comment on the ads about the price are ****ing dícks imo. I know its waaaay overpriced but its his car, he can decide what he wants for it.

    Yeah, especially the guy saying "it's only a ****ty Celica".
    He might as well plaster, "I haven't a ****ing clue about cars" across his face.

    Edit: Add's been cleaned up, only the offers left.

    I missed all the entertainment, but correct me if I'm wrong here - the Carlos Sainz edition never had twin turbos like the advert is claiming - it had a twin-entry turbo similar to all the other GT4's. :confused:

    I know wikipedia isn't a definitive bible for information but it backs up my beliefs (though I think the Sainz also had wider arches front & rear too)

    The special rally edition of 5000 units was known as the GT-Four RC was launched in September 1991 in Japan. The export version is known as Carlos Sainz (CS) Limited Edition in Europe (in honour of their famous WRC driver), or Group A Rallye in Australia. Special features include:
    • a water-to-air intercooler instead of the standard air-to-air unit, which was much better suited for competition use.
    • different hood used to evacuate air from the engine bay rather than direct it to the intercooler (along with a small inlet duct for cambelt cooling).
    • different bumper that is much lighter and has more openings than the standard one.
    • shortened shift lever throw and clutch pedal travel.
    • Triple cone synchromesh on gears 2 and 3, up from double cone.
    • a special numbered plaque on the center console.
    Out of 5000 units, 1800 were for Japanese market, 3000 were allocated to Europe, 150 in Australia, 25 in Singapore, and very few made a trip to New Zealand and general markets.

    Even if it's immaculate this seems saucy. I know old Fords somehow eventually metamorphose from **** to diamonds, but add minimum €660 VRT to the €1700 asking and another ~€1k minimum to have it road legal for a year :eek:. Am I missing something? Have prices started to firm up for these?

    I would question weather or not it was a real ST. The interior is the same as any other old bog standard Mondeo

    They didn't have wider arches, but they have all you listed there. Standard car had 201bhp, CS had 205bhp, so no major increase, but all the little things add up to what was a nicer car. They're rare alright, and a future collectable if kept mint, but €7500 is a bit steep, although not a shocking figure like some here are hinting. But chances are he'll get offers from Toyota enthusiasts of over €6k anyway, so he may as well aim high enough. There'd be a better uptake of those in the UK, Ireland isn't the place to sell anything different.

    not especially a dreamer, just a nutter
    Good car for learners. Also it has a very good Euro Ncap rating 3 almost 4 out of 5 . Insurance for this car a reasonable

    Also it is a head turner due to the sheer beauty of it.

    not that offensive, a bit like kim kardashian, looks lovely up front, then you see it from beind and boom! hits you like a brick wall. marmite as it is, it does look well maintained.

    I'm glad he added a twin exhaust to release the full potential of that 1.3 litre monster :pac:

    I was only joking in my previous post, of course there only fit for the skip. :P

    Still though that doesn't stop people from buying them though. Like any other chinese bargain basement ditch finders, people would rather buy these just to save a few euro over a safe decent mid range tyre :rolleyes:

    maybe your right, but good examples of these are getting thin on the ground. If that one is as fresh as it looks in the pics it would be worth more than 1500 imo.

    I'm looking at the mileage too. Whilst those engines are fairly tough, high miles and high prices don't go hand in hand. And with a car that's 19 years old....

    2200 is a much more realistic figure methinks for that SiR sedan:)

    Your probably right there, the saloon version wouldn't be as sought after as the hatch and probably would command a bit less. :)

    As for high miles, it's only got 116k miles up which is reasonable miles for that age of car imo.

    That's a bit presumtious. I know many jap imports are clocked but there's still a few that have genuine mileage with a service history to back it up.
