Another st205 in the states. Options

[lagos]

So It seems we have another real st205 in the states. There is a local shop around here that is known for importing cars. A few weeks ago they brought over a black gtfour with the original 3 spoke wheels (from what ive been told). I called them up today, and verified this story, however they informed me that the car was sold about 2 weeks ago. Seems another shop just a few blocks from them bought the car. They said that if I stop buy they could have the other shop bring the car over for me to check out, so I'll try to get some pics of it.

The guy also mentioned that there are two more in a lot in japan that he is thinking of importing. He's asking price is around 14grand.

14k is not too bad but only if in near mint cond and low miles.

Just for reference i got my 63,000 mile ST205wrc for 6000 shipped but i had to drive
4500 miles and to another country to pick up after that so lets
say 6500 from japan to my driveway. Now mine needed complete
front end replace (hood,fenders,bumper,etc..) so add 2000 for all the
parts including projectors (btw i got all the st205 parts from US Toyota
at shop price !) so we are up to 8500 now parts need paint but whole
car is getting painted so add 2500 or so ..11000 here we come.

also found a real TRD spoiler on ebay.au for 140usd and in same color
this came from a yard in japan and surpised no one caught it before me.
plus add all the 98 jdm parts you can think of (not seats or dual airbag dash though)
and were up to 12500 for a freshly painted 98 spec st205..

Now if mine wasn't wrecked by young japanese girl who loved hello kitty and skiing
then price would have been about 10000 shipped so 14000 unwrecked not bad..

As for 3 spokes .. not even cool in 1995 ...not sure what toyota was thinking ..i have them and
not so hot ..
