Unhappy About to let go...

Well, after 4 years of ownership, it's time to say goodbye to my beloved Soarer 2.5GT-L. I've given it lots of TLC and it's given me lots of driving enjoyment.

So what do you do when you love Soarers and you have to buy a newer car???

Just put a deposit down today Fingers crossed that hopefully it should be ready for pick up by next friday

Good to see you made up your mind. Judging by that pic it looks like a really clean soarer. VVTi too... I'd like to see one of those modded up

Thanks guys heheh

Reggie, the reason why I'm trading my car in is because my parents wanted me to because of the kms (it's got over 195000kms... they bought it so they get final word, fair enough eh?) so it's really a forced sale, but all good. Unfortunately we gotta take one away from the Silver/Platinum Playas group as I'm switching to the DPW movement lol.

I'm just lucky that the timing was right for car hunting though. VVTi Soarers are still pretty rare here in Australia. I've only seen a couple, and most are 3.0GT's with the N/A 2JZ, not the 1JZ single turbo. It's in pretty nice nick to, with only 56000kms on the clock

More pics when I go pick it up... here's another teaser... (I know you guys love em )

heheh I'd paint it silver, but then I'd have to source a black interior

Mongol, just as well I didn't take pics of the 2000 model pewter R34 GTR with gunmetal GT-Cs and collection of misc. Chasers and other drift cars up for sale hehehehhehe
