Just bought a 99 V6 manual, autocrosser? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Its got TRD shocks/springs/swaybar/strut brace/shortshifter& Greddy muffler/18" OZ F1 wheels. The engine looks stock, 77kmi, runs very well (passes CA smog easily), and handles great. I think it was an autocrosser or something. Is $7200 reasonable?

I think so. Those V6's are nice and torquey and the Supercharger is easily added on for some real fun.

does it have a clear title.
that is a very good price for a v6.
i bought a 2000 le for more than that, with about the same millage

Once and a while they will pop up on ebay for around $1,500. Also, once in a blue moon they will pop up here on TN in the FOR SALE thread.

since it already has struts/springs then you will want to get a whiteline rear sway bar. i used to autocross in a FWD car and it sucked plowing(understeering) through the turns. a whiteline RSB should help rotate the back end a little easier.

btw that would be a nice pickup on the cam... i know a few people on the list that would be jealous of your 5spd(myself included)

7200 for a v6 5-speed seems like a pretty good deal......lets hope its not a salvaged title...

1kdude · 03-29-2005, 11:30 PM

Its a clean title, I'll send a pic soon.

Thanks all for the kudos, I think I got lucky.The rear swaybar is blue, I doubt it is stock, but not sure what brand (TRD?). I can' t see the front swaybar. It handles wonderfully for a family car. Has Bridgestone pole postion tires on the front and Bridgestone 7 somethings on the back. Its green with white wheels, so I'm bashful about pics (we call it the pimp) but may do it anyway.....
