And all of em are auto just so as ya know. Unless you mean the ST195, which they didnt make in turbo in which case it would be the TZ-G which they did make in manual.

Im 23 & insurance through AMI on a GTT is $7 more than my BZ Corolla Wagon (which was insured for 1/2 the value).

The tz's suck. They're really slow - you're better off getting a BZ-Touring.

yea im only 19, so insurance is still a little higher for me. yea was looking at corolla / carib wagons. a six speed and 20v black top would be nice.

$5000 - 6000

km's are high, plus curren sales rely only on a small niche market commonly refered to as "cars for queers" (often includes 20v's)

Every one two there own, i bought it because of how it drove, in no rush to sell it, just trying to gauge what its worth at the mow,

As for the high kms.... its a toyota

$1 reserve it on trademe to let the market decide what its worth maybe an option.... :wink:

Insurance is a killer for under 25's but if you shop around an go threw brokers it is a lot cheaper.... i had my 93 toyota levin 4agte showcar **KERM3T** insured 4 every mod an i was paying $68 per/month at an agreed value of $17k

Best idea is to shop around an see who gives you the best deal.

shit thats cheap who was that through? looking to change companies now as insure direct has a new policy that shits on you if you have mods.

That doesnt mean anything, its still a car with relatively high mileage, no matter which way you look at it.

Ive seen cars do 2/3/400 kms that drive just fine (Even a hiace van that did 650 odd thousand and still drove fine...)

But in the end its a psycological thing for anyone looking at buying your car (the invisible 200km barrier). ask yourself if you'd pay 6-7g for a car with 160 odd kms on the clock without thinking bout it twice, or trying to find a lower mileage one, even if you have to pay a bit more...

As for the reason currens dont sell well...Have you tried fitting anyone taller than your average 5 year old in the back seat? Goodluck

They're just not very practical for a lot of people, same reason 2 seater cars and other smaller coupes arent quick sellers...

I'd say auction value of your car would be roughly $3-4g, but thats just my opinion

Youd get 6, if you were prepared to wait
