Yeah I've tried those - been getting updated quotes every so often, and put the car up with CarWow today, just to see what was offered.
Had forgotten to take down my PH ad so got a punter today (only 4 in 3 weeks) but I sent him a link to yours on the gt86 forum. Nothing to lose.
I think so. At the moment, I haven't had any interest privately though, although perhaps I've been optimistic in what I've asked for (although according to the PH valuer, it was pretty much fair price going by the market). We'll see. Still plenty of time to sell I think.

In other news, the press cars have started to arrive in the UK. Couple of UK reviews are out now, including a quick 60 second walk around from The Intercooler (albeit at the Spain launch).

Yeah sure. I had always hoped to get about £10k. I'd advertised it for £11k but only on owners forums/Facebook etc. However I'd also been keeping an eye on WBAC etc. Best offer was Carwow at about £8100 and I had kind of resigned myself to just accepting that - it was more than enough than I needed for the next car and I was dreading having to bother too much with the hassle of private sale.
I get the impression that people are being a bit optimistic when listing them, but then finding them difficult to shift. Also see a lot of examples being sold modified. I could maybe have held out for a bit more money. But as I said, mine was bottom end of the market...in good condition, but an early model year and high mileage. So I wasn't sure about being able to push for more.
Intriguing. And that's a pretty good offer, I'd say. Was that with your modifications, or did you return it to stock?Toyota offered £10.5k for my 2013 with 50k miles on it last week. I decided over the summer that I had to make some changes so last week the car went. Hoping to have an update tonight with the new plans
NiceNot anymore you can't
I've been a bit silly...
Those wheels are lovely! I miss my GT86 still.Not anymore you can't
I've been a bit silly:
List of mods now:
Complete Cosworth engine bay overhaul including supercharger,, oil plate, filters etc. Additional oil cooling
Complete Cosworth exhaust replacement (engine to tip)
Cosworth big brake kit (AP Racing)
Rays 18" staggered wheels
Not chasing top end BHP, the remap is conservative and more about linear power delivery and reliability so probably around 270hp, but the lack of torque I had between 2-4.5k has been fixed.
Might drop it 15mm next summer, it would cost 20k to upgrade to the GR86 so if I can get a decent upgrade out of my current one for 10k in total it will still give a few more years of enjoyment.
