For Sale: Beautiful 1997 3000GT VR-4, Only 35k Miles

[saintlucia05]

All,

I am biting the bullet and selling my 1997 3000GT VR-4. I’m moving out of state, and my wife and I are buying our first house, so this toy is going to have to go. My new job has a long commute, and I can’t afford to put the miles on this car.

This car is absolutely gorgeous. It has literally been pampered. It has never been raced (except putting a few Mustangs and 350z’s to shame on the street ). I have treated it with great care. I’ve had many of the common VR-4 problems fixed, such as the leaky AWD transfer case, bad wheel bearings, intake system leaks, etc...). I even did the complete 60k service just to be cautious. The paint is in excellent condition – glossy and vibrant. The leather is in excellent shape, and the seat bolsters are not worn at all. You can tell when you look at the car inside and out that it only has 35,000 miles on it. The car looks brand new.

There are over $7,000 worth of upgrades on this car. However, it is still running on stock turbos and stock fuel. With that said, the turbos have never been pushed past 14 psi, and rarely anywhere near that. They are in perfect condition. The truth is, I planned on modding the hell out of this thing and racing it on a track, but I never got a chance to do it. There are still tons of mods left that can be done.

Here is a link to my ad on Autotrader where you can see some pics:

Here is a description of all of the upgrades:

• New Kuhmo Ecsta SPT Tires
• 4-Wheel Drilled/Slotted Rotors
• JIC Bullet Twin 505S Stainless-Steel Catback Exhaust
• Stillen Downpipe
• SPEC Stage 2 Clutch
• RPS Lightweight Billet Flywheel
• AAM High-Flow Y-Pipe
• K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit
• Greddy Profec B-SpecII Boost Controller
• Greddy Remote Switching System (Lo/Hi Boost Switch)
• HKS Type-0 Turbo Timer
• Greddy Air/Fuel, Turbo, and EGT Gauges
• HKS Super Sequential (SSQV) Blowoff Valve
• Custom Viper-Style Fiberglass Hood w/ Active Air Intake
• Strut Tower Brace
• VR-4 Exterior Badging
• Engine Dress-Up (Chrome VR-4 Valve Cover, etc...)
• Custom Aluminum Front & Side Grills
• Kenwood KDC-MP922 Head Unit w/ Sony Xplod Speakers
• Kenwood Music Keg (20GB Hard Drive w/ Voice Prompting)
• Custom 10" Carpeted Subwoofer Box
• Viper Alarm System

The price is $25k. I can guarantee that you will not find a VR-4 in this condition for this price, especially considering all of the upgrades and preemptive repairs I’ve done, and the extremely low mileage. The car is located in VA, but I will ship anywhere in the US using an auto carrier of your choice (or I can recommend a few). If you have any questions or comments, or want to come for a test drive, please e-mail me at [email protected]. You can also call me at the number listed on Autotrader. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful car! It makes me want to go get a loan! Too bad for college though

Looks like you took good care of it, the engine is spotless. How long have you had it?

[saintlucia05]

Thanks. Yea it's in excellent shape, and I know how hard it is to find VR-4's in this kind of condition. I've spent so much money on this car, I should be selling it for 30k. I wish I didn't have to sell it, but we're not going to be able to afford our house if I don't. I guess this is what marriage does to you. It's not ALL bad though.

Beatiful car, definately worth the price you are asking. Sorry you have to get rid of it, but I hope it finds a good home. Have you posted it on 3si.org? I'm sure somebody there would want to pick that up in a heartbeat.

[saintlucia05]

Thanks Igovert500. Yea it's posted over at 3si. I've gotten a few hits on it, but nothing too concrete as of yet.

[VR43000GT]

Wow, nice set of wheels. What are planning on getting next? Sorry it has to go.

[saintlucia05]

Yea I know, me too. You're probably gonna laugh, but I might get a used Civic Hybrid or something along those lines, just because of the commute alone. At least until I have enough money to buy another real car.

[liquidPunk]

I wouldnt laugh, it makes sense to get that type of car. Now its only a matter of keeping the willpower to actually buy something .. ehhh.. dare I say it.. practical. haha

[saintlucia05]

To the top guys...

[97SLGT]

Dang!!! I would love this!!!!

[SnIperGTO]

Funny thing is, I was saw that car on the Auto Trader acouple of weeks ago when I was looking around.

Small world I tell ya..

Very nice car btw

[sLADe781]

Love the car bro...sorry you gotta let her go but hopefully she'll find a good home. I told this chick at work that I'd marry her if she bought this car for me. LOL

[Mikelb]

Love that car, really wish I had the $25k to drop...

when I sold my Stealth... that was one of the worst mistakes I've made in a long time...

I miss it on the daily...

It was just too messed up from the wreck and I couldn't maintain it, a job, and college at the time...(oh and the Eclipse)

[saintlucia05]

Thanks for the positive words guys.

Hey, sLADe781, maybe you should marry her anyway! But if you do, heed some advice from one who knows - make sure you get to keep your sport's car in the deal.

[sLADe781]

LMAO Yeah, I would but she said I'd have to buy her a $35,000.00 ring....maybe I should tell her that she needs to get me the car first and then the ring will come later!?!
