Pretty funny, trying to sell it as a cressida, got plenty of people telling him its a mark 2 JZX81 but he firmly believes its a cressy!
His loss I guess, looks like a tidy car

Just let him believe is a cressida and say its common as, not worth very much. Score it cheap as

There's a reason why i didn't post this here.... lol viewing it soon. The only draw back is they're real gas guzzlers and really slow having an old slushbox in it.. 25sec 0-180
Also very cheap in Japan... $1k FOB price

That and the fact they only just bought it a couple of weeks ago for $3,200.
100% markup, yes please.

Haha thanks for this.... reason to haggle..
to be fair, there were things that needed to be done when he bought it for 3.2K.. but then again, wanting $2.3k on top isn't justified for what he did. lol

Hahaha... yeah if I was in a better property and more setup I would have grabbed it straight away, but alas, nowhere to put (more) cars.
When I was looking for 81 I always had searches running for "cressida" "grande" "avante" "mk2" "mkii" "mark" "chaser" "cresta"...
Yes to be fair it needed some work, but to be fair it also had a custom front facing plenum, so thats worth $600-$1000 right away that you don't get with the car anymore. But hey, its supply and demand, if you can find another JZX81 GT around for less, go buy it

Now he has people backing him up telling him its a cressida and that they were released in limited numbers.. Some people are thick.
