Any1 Know Much About FTO's?

[Jet]

I sold my FTO MIVEC last year for 19k with 40k km on the clock.

exhaust tip and $1000 sound system.

that car lauches hard on first gear.

but after that, it stands no chances compare to those turbo cars.

The car feels very sporty.

The suspension is very hard. give u headache if u drive in city roads.

very nice interior.

dont get a triptronic.

its very slow.

[Guest INASNT]

Had a look at 3 other today. Most are triptronic, it doesent have to be fast as my gfriend will be driving it and she dont give a crap about going fast.

I just want it to look good so that if i take it i will look sick rey

[Mr. Oizo]

[Guest INASNT]

[Guest INASNT]

[Mr. Oizo]

that fto is nice.. maybe u might have to rice up the wheels a bit..

roh blade? roh fury.. something like that.

[Mr. Oizo]

denham.. if u could get her to learn manual.. then that one that i e-mailed u.. the pink one.. would be perfect.. and on the weekend.. u could go racing in it.. and THRASH it..

hehe..

but yeah.. its a very good deal..

u said they wanted 23000 for this one... its much better to import it..

because as we all know.. its a LOT cheaper

[Guest INASNT]

thing is they will trade in her hyundai s coupe for 5g. And it will take ages for her to sell it

[Mr. Oizo]

hmm.. where r u buying from?

[Guest INASNT]

importer in oakley

[rs73]

hmm, actually b4 I bought my line I akmost end up with an fto, but since few that i tested has rock hard shocks on it, deters me from buying it. beside the interior is a bit cramped. tiptronic trans r cool if u're into elec gadgets n gizmos like that. overall, they're great n/a cars...

but i thought last yr 94-96 fto gpx price ranges were abt $17k in various import dealers, how come now they're in the $23k????

[Guest INASNT]

they will go up even more once the new import laws come into action

ex g/f got an immac 97 FTO GPX Mivec silver heaps of extras 17 inch rims exhaust stereo etc etc etc etc etc tiptronic kms seemed decent no accidents checked out fine got it for 17k from uni student who was going backl o/s... . 23k is a rip. since had no problems with it.

[SlowGTS-t]

There is a nice cheap one on www.tau-net.co.jp somewhere for about $6000 aussie, manual Mivec too!

FTO's GPX's are supposed to be one of the best handling FWD cars in the world. I've driven on and its a really good car to drive. In fact, on a twisty country road, Im sure it would give many a skyline a hell of a fright.

buying back from jap (rich daddy) students is always the cheapest.

Can u find me a good 95 mivec gpx for me richie?

[ice180]

yes true this guy was indo I think.. cashed up.. I can but will be more expensive for compliance under new scheme and has to eb totally stocko... prices in japan may drop though.

[Guest INASNT]

have u used all your compliance plates already?

[ice180]

i don't have any for FTO's all other basically used up prob is all cars have to be palted by 7th may under odl scheme and with all the delays in getting a car here and the paperwork etc you are cutting it to fine now...

[Guest kws]

Hey inasnt.

You work near westall secondary right? I always see your car parked there at some factory out the front. Damn sweeeeeet ride.

I'm looking for a good home for my bluefto.... and actually looking at getting either a skyline or wrx... either way, i need to sell my car. Sad to see it go, but what they hey. Perhaps lawrence (chopobo) has told you about it? Fully Retrimmed blue interior, mivec controller, exhaust (5zigen), air filter, sound system, boomerang alarm, 17" chromes... blablabla. Too much to say. And yes, anyone would look good in this car... ppl just cant stop looking when u drive around. (but believe me, this can get annoying after a while.. lol).

Anyway, i'm wanting to sell it for $26,000, but willing to neg with you.

Gimme a buzz some time, i think you recently added me to your icq. oh, it's done 60,000km, serviced every 5000km. I'm sure you can tell im a car enthusiast, and takes good care of my cars. =)

Anyway, let's arrange a meetup and let u see my car.

Gimme a buzz some time.
