Hi Zidane,

Sorry for the late reply.... owner's number of the st182/3 converted with st185 turbo engine that i was talking about is 0122918620. Taken from his ad in Mudah...

http://www.mudah.my/Toyota+Celica+2+0+Turbo-6357309.htm

I've only called him once. Never seen the car yet. Initial offer from him was 29,900...

Tell us more about the Shah Alam unit.... more details?

i recommend buying from owner rather than dealer. infact i always see 5th gen celicas on mudah...

 

[Zidane]

Yup.

The one i'm gonna look at is in mudah.my.

From a dealer.

A white one.

I cannot link the website coz the company blocked mudah.my

if it's a white one from mudah then i believe i know which one...

i actually located the seller/dealer's home. he was freaking shock when i was standing outside his house asking to view the car! LOL.... actually he stays near my place and i can recognise his place just by looking at the backgroud of the car's picture..... freaky ehh....

anyway..... that was like more than 1 month ago.... that time he said his car sent for service.... he no time to pick up from the workshop..... when i called him 2 weeks later he said the same thing.... so.... i gave up on calling him again... hehe...

then suddenly.... i went through all the old and expitred posts available in our local website and guess what...... i saw the ad posted by the previous owner..... called that guy up and found out how much the car transacted from the previous owner to the current owner.... got to know about the car's history as well.... hehehe..... sometimes I feel like a P.I.

just in case we're not talking about the same car, is the seller/dealer go by the name Jonathan?

Didn't meet the guy.

All of a sudden he is in Negeri 9.

I don't think it's the same guy. He spoke in malay to me.

If you can increase your budget to get a ST202 with 3SGTE Turbo engine. Let me know.

 

[Zidane]

After a few months searching and failing to get the right one, i've decided to buy something else.

Thanks guys for your contribution and opinion.
