Already discussed here: viewtopic.php?p=939320&highlight=#939320

Hint: It isn't worth more than 2k. That guy must be smoking something really good.

its not

if it is what it says it is, i think the extent of the "enhancements" are different springs and struts, the rest of the car is a GL nothingmobile

the fact its being taken over by undergrowth, and the state of the other cars in the picture, the guy bought it for $200, saw a signature on the back, and thought to make as much money as he can for as little effort as possible

i mean come on, trying for that price? at least clean it up and take some nice pictures of it

haha - for that price i could have a tommi mak evo if i was after a name, Who is Chris Amon and why is he so far behind.......jks

Just cant hide the fact is a 4afe powered corolla that probably makes 93hp on a good day
