What are you upgrading from?

I am interested to hear because it seems this car has a target market of 25-35 year olds that bought a supra as soon as they got there p's. And its not until now that they have found a car exciting enough and in the right price range to replace it with.

I had a 95 Supra (non turbo), put it up on carsales and within 48 hours had a list of 8 p-platers that all wanted to buy it. funny enough they all wanted me to speak to their dads to talk money...

Managed to sell it on the first weekend, its now with a p-plater in Sydney who doesn't know how to drive a manual.. I felt like I had just left my first born baby with an abusing family

I could hear my Supra saying "please dad can I go home you now?!"

So now I am carless for 2 weeks, Ive managed to borrow a Citroen Xara vts until the 86 GTS is ready to pick up. I figure that's a good thing as it will make the upgrade that much more satisfying.

i sold my excellent (inside and outside) conditioned 03 lancer coupe GLI UNDERPRICED (cuz i didn't feel anyone would want it)...that kIANT re-sold it after 3 weeks over priced lol....

the best part is, when i sold it to him, he looked like a honest and a great guy to take care of my baby...slowly when i asked him for his license, he actually told me was he disqualified until end of next month....im just like wtf.....

anyhow, i have my 86 now, but i still miss my old baby

...its down somewhere in cronulla now, panda looking lancer coupe (CF hood, matte black rims)

Coming from a 2007 Civic Type R (FN2), the one that everyone hated because of Jeremy Clarkson.
