Toyota Altezza RS200 Dual VVTI

mess_it

Hey I saw this car the other day:

http://www.buyandsell.ie/motors/modified-sports-performance/waterford/toyota-altezza-rs200-dual-vvti-220-bh

Just want to see if anyone thinks it's worth it for a 98 model at €2900. It's fairly modded

I saw a similar one here

Its a bit pricier but less work done. I love these cars but wonder would a more recent model get me better value

Buy and sell one seems to be gone?
If it were me, I'd always go for the one with less work done. Less to go wrong and it gives you a fresh platform to work on if you want to build it up.

The car on octane.ie has sensible modifications.

ID search the forum to see does it hint at any problems in its past.

I like Altezzas but no way would I give 4k for a 98 one

I'd go with this as well. In my head someone who modifies a car is more likely to track it, race it or otherwise dog it. As well as that, if the modifications were carried out by someone who doesn't know what they're doing (most people, in fairness) it could end up being dangerous

Cheers lads, I was generally thinking that way myself. Always good to get some back up advice though

I cant speak for other counties but I know 9 out of 10 Altezza's for sale in Mayo have been:

A: Badly modded with cheap lowering springs and stupid stickers all over the windows
B: Been driven very hard and not properly maintained
C: Drifted or "diffed" to the last in every carpark, backroad and yard around the place.

Really puts me off buying one...
