Billy SR Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Lol don't even go there.Personally I wouldn't touch a car with 100K on it.mileage is nothing. i'd rather have a 200k car that has countless amounts of receipts than a 80k car which has been neglected on timing belt changes, etc.just bought a lupo coming upto 135k, and due to all the work she's had done, she's solid as a nut.the e series engines have to be some of the best toyota have ever made and if maintained could last a lifetime.decal wise, you'll be fine removing them. just heat them up with a hairdryer and spray some tar remover (got mine from poundland)finding new decals took me 6 months of countless refreshing on ebay as they are long deleted from toyota. then i crashed my poor sr and i don't think i'll ever find another set. you won't find a tte backbox as toyota have now discontinued all tte stuff, most of it was cleared out years ago when they stopped funding and tte closed as they spent too much on the grand prix and did pretty crap hahaalthough i do have the part number of them still. your best bet is josh, who is still in the process of remaking the graphics.
