I remember when i was looking at buying one about four years ago and they were all around that price than, either they are holding thier value very well or everyone wants far to much for them.

Would love to get a gt4 rc but i dont think ive ever seen one for sale, apart from i think some one on here had one a while ago

that Gunmetal one in Dunedin is actually REALLY tidy. I have been for a drive in it once. Still not worth 14k tho

Out of that list i would have to go with either the first or the fifth vehicles. They appeal to me as the grey one looks the bizz and the red one priced the best for the kms it has done.

Why is the price of these things so expensive? I'm pretty sure my supra would be just as able as a gt4 through corners and straights. Also what are these things like on fuel? My brother has a e39a Galant (EVO-0) and gets some pretty impressive millage for the mods he has.

Kinda always wanted a GT4 but never really been in one.

That would have been my one. Great cars if you want one to restore as a collectors item. If you want a GT4 to go fast, buy a normal widebody and spend money on CT20b and good suspension.

they are expensive because they are kinda rare, fuel economy is pretty bad.

They are about as quick as a similar gen WRX but they seem to be better built. Overall very cool cars but 12k gets you within a hairs breadth of a V7sti or evo 5

The first one is a nice looking car (at top dollar) but that has to be the worst looking most out of place stereo I've ever seen in my life. 8O

Fuel economy is dependent on your right foot & how the car is maintained - our RC's have a 68ltr tank & I'll usually get ove 600km out of a tank - then again Daniels white RC & the way he drives it I'd say he'd probably get around 500 or less lol

Getting rare & maybe one day they'll be worth some $$ as only 5k made worldwide

#4 isn't the best and needs a fair amount of work to get back up to a decent level. Has also been resprayed to white from green and will the paint fixed up.

I think ST205s just look a bit nancy IMO.
An evo like CAMB01's are mint. Evo 2 RS is tops in my book.
Fake Evo3 body kits killed the coolness

problem is you wont find a nice Evo3 for less than15k, which is 5k more than a gt4. And for the 10k that you can spend you will only get an average evo 1-2 with probably closs to 200kms and at least 3-5 years older than the ST205
