Less than 10k miles and the inspection cover is missing off the transmission. Odd.

 

These cars are too easy to fake low miles. Gotta be careful out there. I've studied my 2004 a bit. If you swap out a speedo it would never start again without some major undertakings.

 

Supply & demand - these cars were garaged collector cars from day 1. Low mile, good condition examples of these cars are everywhere.

 

The converter cover is most likely on a shelf because they are a worthless pain in the rear. (maybe removed for a rear main leak fix, common)
I see the front swaybar endlinks have been changed and the bolts were put in wrong.
A bit to pricey for me.

 

With many nice low miles examples to choose from it would be difficult to pay 42G's and no inspection cover.

 

Was That Cover On The Coolant Overflow Bottle Factory.

 

Yes, It is a heat shield due to heat from the turbo

 

It's a nice TTA, but a clean low-mile TTA is probably one of the least rare thirdgens out there!

I don't know, the interiors on poor condition or high mile cars are hard to recover, and there's not exactly a treasure trove of NOS or high-quality reproduction interior bits out there... and at this point, even well kept interiors are going to show some degradation of plastics and materials due to time. Leather seat cars are a little easier to recover, but that still leaves carpets, dashboards and so on.

 

If I didn't have 3 sons and one in college... Always wanted one!

 

Yeah, me too. I just took delivery of my 88GTA and six months later this thing comes out! I said "whaaaaaaat????". Bad timing for me. So, I waited 24 years.
You'll have one some day Dustin. I looked at it as "Good things come to those who wait"
It was just a long wait, that's all!

 

That is why I won't have kids till I'm in my 50s.Won't waste my youth on kids.They never return the investment ....I know because I was a kid too

Saw one on these forums that had less than 100miles and was never registered.They were cars for collectors from the first day so this is not a surprise.What is a surprise is when I see some as daily drivers wrecked and dirty....that boggles my mind.

 

So true! The 2 most common types of TTA's for sale are pristine low mile, high priced cars, and ragged out, modded beaters that are still too high priced. Very difficult to find something in between. I looked at 4 or 5 before I purchased mine. It was a mid range mileage car that was stock appearing, but had upgraded turbo, injectors, fuel pressure regulator and chip. New paint, emblems and leather. Far from perfect, but a very nice driver at a reasonable price. I dont feel guilty driving it 200-300 miles a season. It runs and looks great. No regrets in my 6 year ownership.

 

exhaust tips don't seem like originals. if they are originals the angle is wrong.

 

Just noticed it has 1 inner subframe connector and it looks like the trans crossmember was cut out for clearance.

 

100% agree. they look better but they are not originals
Mine are not stock but look closer to the stock TTA except for my angle is like his..
