Should I EVER sell my rev5 turbo?

[matt5cott]

Now and again I flirt with the idea of selling my rev5 turbo, admitedly not for a while, but every so often its tempting


Does anyone know if these will be possible to import ever again? Im guessing its not likely? ie if I sell it its good bye mr chips.




It's still completely standard from the day I got it from neweraimports, never missed a beat, its the only thing I drive and its coming up to its 3rd year in my possession this June

I don't even know why im tempted to sell sometimes, I guess its just one of those things!

[matt_mr2t]

Thats gotta be worth a fair bit!

Not unless there is a model report produced for these things sometime in the future, which im guessing is gona be a big fat NO.

Keep hold of it if you like it, otherwise move onto something different.

Under the ten year rule, it will be possible to import revision 5 cars from October next year.

Hmm, the question is will they still command a premium I suppose

[steve b]

Sell it if you fancy a change, like Rogue said next year you can buy one easily enough if you really miss it. They'll stop commanding a premium soon rev1 & 2 cars were always less than rev3 on but now each year more & more rev3 plus cars are coming in they are all dropping in price.

p.s. been abusing my mazda all weekend, handlings in another league to the SW20 and its only a little budget roadster, bet an RX7 would be a great upgrade from a 2 if you were to sell.

As far as I know the rule still stands that no car newer than 1st of Jan 1997 can be ESVA'd without a model report being available and as Juicin has pointed out there is not one available for an mr turbo

My understanding is that the ten year rule takes precedence... I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

To my understanding the ten year rule is only valid for the SVA and not the ESVA. As far as I know a model report will still be required as its later than 1st Jan 1997, even if the car is over 10 years old.

Just this government for you!..... w@nkers!

At least thats something!!!......... In that case i'd spend time looking for the perfect rev5 turbo, then dry store until 10 years had past!

Good find patrick! =D>

I stand corrected Great news for anyone after a rev 4 or 5

Nice1 !!!

[freak_in_cage]

so does this mean you can import a Rev 4 from Oct 06 and a Rev 5 from Oct 07?????

what is the difference between Rev 3,4 and 5 anyway?!

[Quigonjay]

All old though, probs will take some more in the summer.



I noticed newera has a rev4 on sale for just under 10k, so im hoping the 5's will hold there value well enough

[Rosssco]

Never thought there were any other Beige Mica cars about in this country (hadn't seen any atleast). I see from your profile its not your prefered colour, but personnally I think its quite stunning in some light.......... (looks xxxx in the rain though)

I didnt think there were that many rev5 cars produced overall as Toyota seemed to petter them out in the final years, so it will still be a pretty rare car even if they can be imported in the future......

Dont part with it, its the best rev you can get (IMHO, not having driven other revs)

[Mark Edwards]

I wouldn't sell a rev5 turbo in beige mica for love nor money if i had one. Has to be the rarest colour going. Keep it is what i say (unless you want to donate it to me of course ).
