Erm my mate bought a t-bar 2.0 (k reg) for 3500 towards end of last year. Nice car. But back end can come out if not carefull. I think his had done about 70000 miles. Sounds a tad high but i suppose it is a garage.

My old man had one exactly the same as that apart from 45k miles! Never had a problem with it at all!
Expensive when they do go wrong but they are pretty bullet proof!

i know it high mileage for price but i thought about making offer of £3200. It looks sooo nice not a dent/scratch on it.
might go back and have another look.
do you now what power they are? tunability etc? many performance parts about for them?

These are lush! Especially in Black, but it has to be the Twin Entry Turbo Version

Nice cars, nearly bought one myself (turbo) but decided on gt4 as wanted 4 seats. That one sounds overpriced, look in autotrader ebay etc can pick good one up for about 2k.

are the twin entry turbo ones Imports tho? coz i cant get insurance on import else id get a pulsar gtir. Looking for either a Celica/MR2 or 306 GTi6 rallye
really like the look of MR2 and rear wheel dirve
if turbo ones are uk spec and not imports then i may look into it further. just saw this one on forecourt as i droped wheels in for new tyres

The GT4's are meant to be better cars as they have 4 seats, 4WD and better intercoolers so more reliable i was told.....
