Thanks. I actually just sold mine a few days ago. The price all depends on which model you are after. The GS and GR are a bit cheaper than the GPX or Version R. I sold my GPX for $15,000, but they are a lot more expensive from dealers . It was an awesome car and I really miss it. Very different to drive than my new car. If you do end up getting an FTO and go for the GPX, beware as there are a lot of FTOs out there that are badged as a GPX when they are in fact only a GR. A true GPX has an 8,000rpm redline (as opposed to 7,500 for the GR). If you take one out on a test drive, you will know you've got a GPX when you hit about 5,000rpm as there is a very distinct change in engine sound when the MIVEC kicks in. A very sweeeet sound . Add a pod and 2 1/4 exhaust and the sound is porn!

Allright, thanks alot FTO Girl. 15,000 is about the price i seem to be getting looking at 93/94 Supras and Evo 3's and 4's, i spose i better get a job thou heh, and a lisence lol (should be taking my learners next week if i can get off my ass). What year was the FTO you sold? Did you have a body kit on it, if so, around how much did it cost?

[Spec2 Girl]

Mine was a 1995 and it was in mint condition. It didn’t have any bodykit, but did have small side skirts (already on the car when I bought it). It also had a 2 ¼” exhaust, Trust Airinx pod filter, front strut bar, CD player, alarm, Momo wheel and Toyo T1 tyres. Just have a look around and make sure that if you want a GPX, make sure it has the MIVEC as we had a real hard time trying to find a genuine GPX (lots of GRs badged as GPXs ). Also if you can buy one privately it will be much cheaper. FTOs are still quite expensive at dealers (around $19,000).

Good luck!

Sounds like a pretty mean ride I've actualy been looking at MKiv Supras the most seriously, and i think i found a pretty mean paintjob for one if i get one http://www.ratemyride.com/profile.php?uid=662
gotta get the cash first... gonna get a job soon should make a few thousand off that
Oh anyone see the pic below my name? or is it fucking up?

[Spec2 Girl]

Supras are really nice cars. I was thinking about a TT one at one stage, but decided against it.

I really do miss my FTO, it was an awesome car and went like stink too.

and I can't see any pic under your sig

Does anyone know if the FTO eva came out in a Turbo.. i know in Australia the fastest is the GPX 2L V6, but i was wonderin if in japan or where eva it is from they brought out a Turbo i could import? i dont wanna put an aftermarket one in my current one coz i had problems with the last car i put an aftermarket turbo in! it shat its self!

if there isnt im happy with the V6 ... Go the FTO i love the car!

Sorry dude, the FTO NEVER came out with a turbo. Try going the all motor route with the 6A12 motor, it'll sure sound awesome. I love the way my GPX sounds with just an exhaust and K&N airfilter. If you really want a turbo, get the twin turbo motor from a Galant and swap it into the FTO.
