Seen that car a few times on car sales.
To be honest, it's the big ugly graphic on the side that turns me off, not sure I like the body kit either. To be fair, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all, but I firmly believe the more you do that kind of thing to that car, the less likely it is that other people will like it.
You craft a car to your specific vision, you kinda narrow the field of those who would like to buy it/be happy to be seen driving it around.

This is the same for Tilly's GC8 she's trying to sell, the car seems fine, but that paint job, the changy colour from different angle thing, to me it makes it look like a cheap Red Dot toy car. Some people love it, though I wouldn't think it would be that many.

That's my 2 cents.

Agree, not a lot of people have much spare cash at this time and that car only appeals to a handful of people in WA.

I think the fact the decal says "styled to race" and the owner is advertising it as a "weekend car" most people would assume it has been thrashed / tracked on weekends....

I'm unsure what the fuss is about?

It's a GC8 with a 6 speed, VF34, PowerFC, coilovers and a body kit.

$23k original price is too high. $18k is better, but at the upper end.

poser sticker imo but mechanically its been done very well

put the bodykit in a skip bin, peel off those stickers and enjoy the quality mechanicals/mods at a fair price
