White 98 Mitsubishi FTO MIVEC V6 GP Automatic
Hello All,
Unfortunately its time for me to upgrade (downgrade some might say) to a larger car (don't say the word family!) which means that I must part with my FTO.
I have been out of the loop for a while in regards to prices and feel this is the best place to get an honest opinion on pricing. I am asking for your help to set a value that properly reflects my car as there does not seem to be too many 98's around that I can compare against.
My car can be seen here in this article (from way back when, pictures are still relevant) http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_0841/article.html
Some things not stated in the artcile are as follows;
75000kms
Registered last month + service.
2 New front tyres.
Sony Explode MP3 Stereo system.
Heads up display.
Garaged every night.
Alarm/Immobiliser.
Thank for your time,
Sino ... =)

Modification don't mean anything these days, in some cases, it even bring the value of a car down.msinosic wrote:It seems that modification even though a few grand worth dont seem to affect the price anymore these days?
It is almost as if they should be stripped out =(
Thanks for all the information.

Still for Sale
This FTO is still for sale!
Any reasonable offer will be accepted. I have been loath to part with it for an agreed value but the time has come and I really need a quick sale to purchase a larger, more practicle car for my current needs.
Current listed price is offers from $12,990.

I don't have a pink slip.
The car was recently taken in for a scan check on all the electrical components. No errors were reported.
The reason I did this was due to a 'loose' connection on the
battery terminal causing odd quirks (I did not know it was loose at the time). These odd quirks were picked up by a previous potential buyers complete vehicle inspection. It spooked him enough to not buy it so that is when I put the car in for a check fearing that some electrical component was damaged.
Had I fixed the battery terminal in the first place the car would of been sold for just under 14k. Hind-sight eh?

I think the best thing is for you to have a look at the car and see if you like it. Following that if you are still interested and we have an agreed price, I can get a pink slip. When the pink slip comes back positive we can all be happy!
How does that sound? =)

I thought as much. I have never met Elvis and I do not know what the connection is in the family tree but I am pretty sure his ancestors would of come from the same village in Istria, Croatia as mine did. Let's all go for kick boxing lessons! 
Give me a ring in the new year when you are interested in coming out to have a look. I will not be around Sydney till the second weekend back in January.
Talk to you then.

Offers around $12k cash will not be refused this weekend only.
Unfortunately for me I can not wait any longer and my car must be sold in a week or two or it will be relegated to the outside to make way for a new car in a new location.
FYI registration is due soon and I would recommend its time for a new battery. Apart from that only TLC is required. I simply do not have the time.
Thanks,
