That's gonna be hard to fine. Rolling Eyes

Haven't seen many facelift FTOs in Perth. I think some of them are actually 1996 and it is also quite rare to get one with sunroof.

So to find a 98 GPX with sunroof and possibly the color he/she likes? That's an ultimate challenge.

If you want a rare FTO, get the 1998 GPvR - current located in Victoria (Kamikaze Motors)

I've been looking for a 97+ model FTO for over a year now. I wanted a GPX also because i wanted the digi aircon also and also many features that the GPvR didnt have.

I then considered importing but didnt want to wait any longer.

I finally found one in WA that i was happy with last month. However it is only a GX. Has everything a GPX has except for the mivec. The first facelift model i had found (except for a blue one which i didn't like). This came with a sunroof so i was very with it.

I have yet seen a GPX facelift. They are very rare in WA so you'll be very lucky to find one.

The facelifts have ABS as standard, but I don't think the brakes are bigger. GPX front brakes are bigger than GR though...

Also...

My '95 GPX still has its original airbag. And aren't the digital aircons virtually standard for all FTOs except the lightened GP Version R?

Oh my God, it's the nitpicker's guide to the FTO! Shoot me! Smile

In the facelifted models 97+, GR's do not come with digi aircons...it is only the GPX or GX that has the digi aircon.

The MOMO steering wheel are also onli available on GPX, GPvR or GX.

Thanx for letting me in on the GPvR in Vic for $32,000.

Question is:

Wat is a good price for this car with 19,000km mileage?
My fren isn't very sure on the market value hence needs some opinions.

cheers

32K sounds like a good price for that model for that year with that many kms
