Yeah, it's an *awful* lot of cash to drop on a turbo.

I don't feel like this needs a lot of introduction, so let's get into it.

Cheers, Foxy. Despite being unhappy at having to sell, I'm pretty happy with the way it went down. I meant to mention that the guy who bought it is 77 years old. You would *never* guess it to look at him or speak to him. He is off to Blyton airfield this weekend for a track day in his GBS...

Sold now - thanks again for all the help and words of support! I case it's of any interest to you, "the trade" seemed to value the car at a maximum of £26k - I had three offers at that amount or slightly below that, from two car buying groups and one semi-local performance car dealer, who just...

I'm regretfully having to put my glorious GR up for sale. The nuts and bolts of it are in the title - I've priced it hoping for a reasonably swift sale, and am grateful to several of the forum members for their advice. There's a comprehensive listing up on AutoTrader, which is linked below. In...

Thanks for the ongoing help and ideas, all. I've tried both CarWow and Motorway previously when I sold my Yaris GRMN, and found them both long-winded and unreasonably pessimistic in their values (yeah, I do know a dealer needs to make a profit). I went with Cazoo back then, and they were so...

Genuinely really helpful replies, thanks a million. I'd hoped the rarity (and now unavailability) of the colour would help, and the future value of that easily-maintained Toyota 10-year warranty is a great selling point. Thanks again.

A change of work situation means I am looking to sell my beloved GR. I'd like to harvest data from the Zoo hive mind (or 'ask your opinions') on what it's worth. It's a year and two weeks old, had its first service last week and has done just under 5,500 miles. It's in arguably the best colour...

What did I do with my GR86 today? Left it safe at home, and took the CR-V instead!

Only just spotted this thread, and think your solution is a little bit of very elegant genius, @PVGR! Cash on the way now - many thanks!

Thanks all, for the reassuring replies. 👍

I had a long, quick run from Newcastle to Huddersfield this afternoon, and wondered if the indicated temperatures for oil and water struck anyone else as a bit high? It was all A1 and M62, and fairly clear, so - unless you're Babylon - I was sitting at an indicated 77mph for roughly two hours...

Thanks, man - I'm really pleased with it. The sensors are an utter Godsend - I reverse in at home, and have a tight, unlit parking space with a low wall at the back. The reverse camera is actually surprisingly good, but the sensors really do let me be way more precise, especially if it's...

Thanks to a delayed delivery from Toyota (what, really? 😂), I missed my originally-planned detailer 'slot', so had to wait five weeks for another convenient appointment to have it ceramic coated. I'd put 1,000 miles on it by then (including two unavoidable 250-mile motorway trips with work) so...

Interesting stuff - I'll definitely give that a try this evening. Nice find - cheers!
