 Am not going to bid on this as an inspection is not possible, buuuut it's an Alto RS/R, meaning AWD, turbo-intercooled kei hothatch from Suzuki. This is my favorite style too vs. the rounder ones AND it has all its stickers. What is there on the auction sheet posted:-5MT, AC (crossed out), as-is, running (crossed out) Yoshi posted:looks like the seller wrote running but the auction house crossed it out. Might be a good chance to get the rs/r you always wanted...  thanks Yoshi besides the AZ-1 I've wanted one of these, one day maybe. But not this one.

How much do these inspections cost if someone doesn't mind answering that?

I have no idea, the last time I drove one was in like 1992  All I know is that the AWD system is pretty weak so they aren't very reliable for any kind of serious racing, might be ok for daily driving as long you don't do clutch dumps and poo poo like that. The hard part is finding one that hasn't been abused ready to break, it's a gamble but worth it, the cars are amazing. Best hot hatch ever made imo.

I've known three guys with pulsar gtr's, all spent considerable time up on blocks waiting for scarce expensive drivetrain parts to arrive from Japan. Coincidence?

Rhyno posted:I def want to know what this goes for. Unfortunately the price wasn't available. I expect something to be wrong with it because it was listed as grade ***, and if it wasn't then it probably sold for more than it should have because it's a USS. I will get one at some point, just like I scored an AZ-1 (or 2). Pulsars look cool and all but they are so limited in supply and go for so much and are focused on by outfits that are far better equipped to deal with something like that, a lot like Skylines. Market is too competitive.

No idea, they come up so little that the only 3 (including that one I already posted) are the only ones that have been up for auction in the last ~3 months, with two of them being RS/Rs (AWD) vs RS/Xs (2 wheel drive). There was one up for sale on a dealer lot but they want $6500 for it, it's missing it's stickers, some body molding damage, aftermarket hood, aftermarket wheels, been messed with mechanically, AND has had its front seats replaced

KP61 Starlet, a little 1.5l tin can with an engine you can tweak to run over 10,000rpm if you so desire. Chuck some suspension at it and go chuck it round a track. https://youtu.be/wy1GKdyu7QE https://youtu.be/w5vsTeu21-I Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Jul 2, 2018 |

These are super high priced now though, so if you are buying for resale you'd have a hard time of it. For personal use though? Hell yeah. There was a mint-and-stock condition green one a couple weeks back, didn't sell but the starting bid was something like 7k USD. When the bid starts that high the reserve has got to be even higher.

I really appreciate this offer and there is a pretty good chance I’m going to ask for your help, yes. Thank you! Edit: drat that Pajero is cool Edit again it has been confirmed Savannah. Maybe I can spring it from port to your place and get a cheap ticket in and drive it back if we decide it would be fine doing 100 all the way back to TN everdave fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Jul 3, 2018 |

Do you want the Previa for yourself or to try to make money? Because there is nothing left to make on that. I’d imagine but don’t know that you could get a similar one for $4-5k tonyour door but I haven’t looked at them, so if you want it and can pay that it’s not outrageous it costs a lot to get them over on top of purchase. Thanks angryrobots I will be in touch when the slow boat is closer!
