sonic Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Prices for gen 5 gt4s are low , izzzys very good nick cs only hit about 1600 !! And that was 4 times the car you are looking at , price wise it's about bob on , good running gear , shit paint It's an import so rust should be minimal , but worth checking , as for oily bit usual look for smoke and annoying knock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill T Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well for what it's worth I think the mileage is bollocks Less than 4000 a year? I think not. And it's not red its Scottish Racing Pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublet Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Paint looks awful. Plenty of polish? Ad says it's over polished, so it's likely to turn white (base coat colour) if you polish it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikca01 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 yeah the paint is shocking. prices might be reasonable for a decent 185 but finding one up here is impossible thats why im thinking of travelling down to essex for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 My gen 5 was that colour when I bought it, with claybar and t-cut red polish the colour came back really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill T Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think for polish read T-Cut. Mine was overdone and wont take any more abrasive but responds reasonably well to polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think for polish read T-Cut. Mine was overdone and wont take any more abrasive but responds reasonably well to polish Its a red polish - just under the t-cut brand -hope that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill T Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Perfect sense, I was referring to the "over-polished" in the ad. Polishing is fine, mopping or cutting however is different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublet Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 A good shiny red car can look awesome, I loved my red ST182. But the Toyota red simply doesn't last long. There's a lovely red Carlos Sainz for sale but I didn't risk the red again and that was in a good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
