  2. She's gotta go!!

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Sherv

    I sold my GT4  in 2020 through Car and Classic, I was thinking along the same lines as you regarding the amount of scammers etc these days.Shame we have to consider it like that but unfortunately for every genuine person interested theres a ton of idiots out there. I had a few emails etc that I was obviously going to ignore but the guy from Manchester who bought it luckily turned out to be fine.I was lucky really,Covid restrictions hadn't been as stringent at that point but he didnt want to test drive with me and i didnt with him,he sent me a deposit just through the many detailed pics of every aspect of the car and paperwork present,and when he turned up he trusted me in turn,sent the rest via bank transfer on his phone and he didnt get to drive it away until I saw the balance land in my account .So we were both lucky,he was a genuine buyer and I was an honest seller with a very good car.

    Mathewsons do sell later cars and i think if you want to avoid all the face to face and potential pitfalls,it should be worth considering.Especially being a GT well looked after and low miles,they'll sell it for you,just agree what you're prepared to let it go for.I dont know the costs regarding the extras,but to have someone trustworthy collect from your house and do the work for you,has to be a consideration for the price of a phone call.

  8. Best looking oem wheel

    Yeah all depends on the Gen really,10 spokes on a preface Gen4 are a wheel that suit the car well,agree the 6 spoke facelift ST205 wheels look good,and the Tech 5 wheels are good on a 7th Gen,providing you don't buckle them driving over a pebble :think: . And the OEM wheels on the MA61 Celica Supra still look great nowadays

    sort of car in white that could benefit from a trip to Mook's for a subtle refresh on the body for not much monies..Can be very good fun practical cars these,I was seriously looking at a couple of nice Spec-B ones before I stuck with N/A and went for the Accord the other year. Get a lot of car for pretty low money TBH

  10. Gt4 charge cooler

    in General Celica Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Sherv

    Just noticed your sig says ST202,not ST205 ,if thats the case its not a charge cooler you're asking about (unless you have a 3SG-TE turbo swap),if not do you mean the normal engine coolant.If so ideally use Toyota Red stuff. Though your post is for GT4 cooler,if it is GT4 then yeah what the guys above said 

  18. Are these wheels rare?

    in General Celica Discussion

    Can't recall seeing those before,maybe they were more for other markets ,some European/US spec cars perhaps.Certainly not a wheel you'd see on UK Gen7's :think: .So you could say in answer to the original question..yes they are rare in that respect. Whether that guides any value though is a bit pot luck.

    Super quick delivery,pretty much next day!

     

    Normally a disc would display end of month ,but I specified the 23rd as thats the exact date of registration of my car. 2 printed info,one handwritten and a blank.There's even the DVLA info on the reverse of each disc,the same as the originals would have had,and the cost on the front reflects the year of your choice.

    Remember I ordered my first batch few years ago from him,I just sent him the last one that was faded out in an envelope with a first class stamp in it,and Greg has returned these FOC. Great service !

    Included in the envelope is also a list of road fund costs for each year going back decades,just for info.He also said he is using much more fade resistant inks these days.
