FTO AUSTRALIA

Well i have been up in Rye (Beach Hotspot away from melbourne about 2hours) for the last week and m car had been waxd and washed and it was parked on a hill facing the main road. On the last night a guy knocked on the door and said i love your car i will give you 17,000 for it on the spot (he was about 50 years old,really rich guy-drove a SLK mercedez).

Now i never intended to sell my FTO but 17k is a lot of money especially for an FTO and i have no idea what to do, do isell it and buy anothe car or jsut keep the car, i was intending to sell in 2 years when im 21.iv been working and have saved up some cash so..

So i have three options:

1: Keep The Car

2: Buy one of the following cars:(opinions please)

1: Evo 7-8 (depending on price)
2: 2004 Ford XR6T around 20k for one in good condition
3: 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 25GT-T (18k)
4: 1998 Toyota supra (single turbo) (20k)

3: Last option is to take the money buy a 2000 dollar car and put the 15k along with the money i have saved and put it on a house deposit, buy a house and have people renting the house to pay it off..

If you were going to sell the FTO anyway mate I would take an offer like that when you have it. Offers like that don't come around very often and if you decide later to get another FTO you could easily with that sort of cash.

If I was you I'd be buying some new basic transport and getting a house. Especially with current interest rates and the first home owners grants. Getting very close to a perfect time for young buyers in my opinion. I'm no real estate agent though, just an accountant

take the cash and dont look back bro! U can pick up an fto with half of what he's offering and the evo7 sounds reaaal tempting

you could probably get a evo3 or older no way an evo 7, they are easily 25k +

I have to admit though, I would take him up on that offer, as 17k is an insanely good offer (I paid exactly half that amount for my fto).


A house would be a good investment at the moment, due to the interest rate drops recently and the cheaper real estate available. In the end its up too you.

Take the offer and buy another one!. You make a few thou and still have an FTO

Your an idiot if you dont

Hock it. Show him the cow horn then go buy the Ford. Supra's are aging badly, every tosser under the sun has a f**ken S.kyline & every asain with cyber blorange hair & a shopping list down the door has an Evo.

Yeah I woulda sold it definitly too... I wouldn't be getting the ford, especially considering that the year you listed had the problem with the gearbox... You can find evo6's for 17k. Consider a late model sky.line though, the 350gt. I've seen a lot go cheap around the 20k mark. Goes hard, looks sweet and has all the options you could ever want. Pretty sure they came with sat nav standard on the gt's too with a pop up screen...

Wow .. ill sell to him on the time of offer, and if theres time left for a name transfer ill get it done on the day too

17k ... could buy a THRASHED DC2R! ... but hey VTEC YO!!!!! > mivec

omg! how lucky is that? i hope u still have his details. go and buy urself a house. think about the future. (my gawd, i sound like my dad)

on the flip side, u can always blow it all in star city and double it to $34k? hahaha

Thats how we asians roll ben... Thats how we roll

SELL! and go star city and put whole 17grand on the table!

hell yes sell it

well im waiting for the guys clal it hsould be in a day or two and i will take it from there. Oh i appreciate the edit to big ugly soap box racer ahha.i think i will sell it, you just cant get that type of money anywhere else for an fto,

I really do want to buy a house but im only young once and want to live,
i defnitely want something with a turbo and the one thing i like about skylines they are power machines and it doesnt costm uch to make them even more powerful and there engines can ahndle boost to.

Evo i probably wont go for so it would be between the XR6T or the Skyline R34 25GT-T

Sell it and buy a new keyboard and fork out for some typing lessons.

Seriously though, sell it and get the house, and if you don't, pass his number on to me

do a Group sell ? 10% discount

sell sell sell.....and im all up for the casino idea

Hey dude, long time! Been real busy here.

If it was me, i'd sell and buy a unit, then have ppl rent to help pay it off. Good move i reckon.

Or if you still want to live, i'd go for a r34 gt-t. Evo is cool too but i think i'd prefer a riceline over an evo.

Catcha on msn soon bud.
