Wow I just did a search on TradeMe and there are 27 Soarer's from 91 through to 97. I wonder how many there actually are here in NZ?
Average price is only $7000.00 now. Boy that's a lot of car for 7 grand.
Pretty bad depreciation. From around $160,000 new to $7000 in 15 years. |

I think only the '32's were that much, others started about half that. Still a lot of depreciation and yes a lot of car for $7k.
Are you sure some of those cars aren't advertise more than once? |

Yeah, we never get late model V8's here.
I have definitely seen a few more around recently... |

Matt, I agree. I've definitely seen quite a few more around the north island. It is not without a smug sense of satisfaction that i can say that mine is one of the tidiest ones I've seen so far in NZ
There is also a 98 single turbo Soarer for sale which I must go look at when i pick mine up this week.

btw, anyone here know of a Fred Fuchs? He may well have moved on from the Soarer scene but i do remember seeing some great pics of his black or FSG V8 here in NZ which he had obviously spent alot of time and money on. |

Thats WAY too much money for an 8 year old car, even if it is a manual. |

they're a dealer- they always overprice the cars. |

Presumibly in the hope someone will walk in off the street with a suitcase full of money and no brain. |

IF the right Snoarer came along, I would quite happily pay up to $20k(NZD) for it.
BUT it would have to be a MINT 97 Ltd, a VERY late 32 with ALL the options, OR a 99/2000 Turbo, but again I stress it would have to be TOTALLY mint.

Hmmmm!, maybe, but it's lacking a coupla cylinders.
BUT, having said that I do have a secret yearning for that Pearl 98 2.5...........it looks SO pristine!

I remember the one. If I had had a permanent job in January when I saw it I would have taken it right then. |

Hmmmm....Its time to sell the Mr2 and buy a sensible car. I should get a wagon....but for only a little less I could get another Soarer...the main draw back is fuel costs.
Does anyone have some recent fuel usage stats for their Soarer (1jz-gte)??
The main reason i want a wagon is for my drumkit although I could actually fit my kit in my old Soarer (no way in the Mr2 though) |

here are heaps of threads on fuel consumption already, I doubt the figures would have changed much. |
