Selling my Altezza

germainium, Dec 17, 11:13pm
Hi all, I'm looking at selling my 2008 RS200ZED Toyota Altezza. Was brought into the country 4 years ago (I am the first and only NZ owner) always serviced every 10,000ks, run on 95 or 98 Octane, new battery and tires and approx 164000ks on the clock. It's in good nick, some denting on the roof and a small crack in the rear bumper but otherwise straight, interior is in good shape, about the only thing it needs is a new head unit. Aside from the rear bumper it's factory standard, hasn't been tinkered with and is well maintained. I am looking at other Altezza's on Trademe at the moment, most people are still asking anywhere between $8000-$13000 for a vehicle with similar stats but I am not sure what mine would be worth, Any ideas! Thanks.

Get the bumper and roof fixed and you might get$8000.

grangies, Dec 17, 11:21pm
Are you sure it's a 2008!

germainium, Dec 17, 11:21pm
Yep, positive.

germainium, Dec 17, 11:21pm
@ andy, thanks

freedomaira320, Dec 17, 11:24pm
Altezzas were only made until 2006.

germainium, Dec 17, 11:25pm
Sorry, 98.Typo.

freedomaira320, Dec 17, 11:27pm
Pretty big typo! And you were even asked to confirm. Anyway, pleased you fixed it, was a bit confusing.

germainium, Dec 17, 11:28pm
And! I've corrected the typo and apologised.

germainium, Dec 17, 11:29pm
@freedom, I am just here to ask a fairly simple question, mistake has been corrected, do you have anything relating to the question asked to suggest!

splinter67, Dec 17, 11:33pm
Just another one of the spelling police sorry dont know about the price youll get but fix the roof and bumper and you will get more for it

germainium, Dec 17, 11:36pm
We love the grammer nazi's, yea I figure, I have to pull the coin from somewhere but I am moving to Oz so it might have to be a case of as where is. Could fix the bumper pretty cheap but the roof will be a tad more expensive.

freedomaira320, Dec 17, 11:37pm
Tidy it up and you might get the bottom end of your price expectations. They're good cars, but there are a few around and unfortunately their image has been badly tarnished by the boy racer set.

germainium, Dec 17, 11:38pm
Which is understandable. Mine was just my runabout, most k's I have done on the highway between Ashburton and Chch. Thanks.

phillip.weston, Dec 17, 11:39pm
Are you positive it's a 2008 model! It can only be a 1998 to 2003 model. I sold a 2000 Altezza 2.0L 4cyl BEAMS tiptronic done 220,000kms for $5,000 approx 15 months ago.

phillip.weston, Dec 17, 11:41pm
So a 15 year old Toyota done 164,000kms. I would say $7000-8000 tops.

germainium, Dec 17, 11:43pm
Hi phillip, the 2008 was my mistake, it's a 98 model, forgot to put in there 6speed manual. Thanks :)

edangus, Dec 18, 12:43am
You could probably pull a few extra bucks for the 6 speed. but still $7-$8K.
