Sounds like a very similar situation I found myself in, with the exception of a new kitchen being on the list! Other options I looked at were a 330i touring, or the 340i… it seems you can’t get a lot for the money in the current market, and the Seats Leon is very practical (huge boot), more...

I spent a lot of time looking at the Octavia vRS, they seem to hold value even better as well as the Cupra. Finding a manual with nice options (heated seats being one) was difficult. The Superb L&K spec with the E888 and AWD look like great comfortable machines, the ultimate sleeper!

£275 Toyota GT86 / GR86 wheels with Falken Eurowinter HS01 tyres with 5-6mm tread remaining. Used in the snow with great grip! Have TPMS sensors fitted, however these will need to be coded to the car. In excellent condition, only around 1000 miles since a full refurbishment in anthracite...

Thanks for the positivity in this difficult time!

Ended up with a Seat Leon Cupra ST 300 estate… very different but needs must. Prices of most cars are shocking right now but that’s helped keep the GR prices up - given the time of year and still having strong prices I expect low milage looked after examples will command strong money for some time.

Thanks for the information… I’ve been down the Mazda route before and really need 5 decent sized seats and a boot going forward, having the GR was a treat for a while but the little ones are growing so getting them in was getting more difficult! Currently looking at a 3 series estate of some...

Interesting the prices are strong at this time of year. When did you get the motorway quote? You’re right, there’s nothing out there like it (M2 / M4 and Mustang) with a warranty, I do the same on autotrader and nothing hits the spot.. I’ve had to make the decision to put mine up for sale today...

Begrudgingly looking at selling my GR86 due to kitchen renovation which the better half is wanting to carry out - the Toyota is looking like the easiest option to create some funds. £26,995. Currently on a private reg. No outstanding finance. Last photo shows the winter wheel setup. Still...

High praise indeed! https://www.evo.co.uk/news/208363/four-affordable-used-japanese-performance-car-icons

Winter wheels back on, with (aliexpress!!) TPMS installed. Not yet managed to get them connected up to the car but I’ll persevere. Colour changed to anthracite after having a gold finish last winter - which was poorly done. Cheers!

You’re lucky to have them in the USA, we have to modify ours at significant cost to get those calipers!

Yep!!

Getting caliper envy here

Hello Sonic, Have you checked the warranty aspect on this part with the dealer? I was wondering Toyota UKs stance, and if you’ve already asked. Thank you
