Quick update guys, the 2014 car has a full Toyota service history and best of all it’s just had the plugs done at Toyota at 60,000 miles. So it looks like I’m going ahead with that one.

Someone is apparently going to let the dealer know tomorrow if they are going ahead with the purchase of the 2014 GT86 so will find out then if it’s still available. I have also noticed that cars that are red or black seem to be way cheaper. Is that because the pearl white demands a higher price or is this purely coincidental?

Difficult decision both cars are pearl white which is the colour I was after and not another dealer has offered me another GT86 which is a 2012 with 62,000 miles but he only wants £9000! His car is red though, which I don’t mind. Could save myself £2000 on this one and use that money on modifying it. Need to do some thinking

Hi all. I have been on this forum for not very long but already learnt so much. The dream is to buy a GT86 very soon. Looking for one in pearlescent white. I already have an idea of the mods that I would like to do to the car. I will list these below. I have owned and loved many many cars during my life, to name but a few, endless Subaru's, Lotus Elise, Focus RS, MR2, Range Rover Evoque, Audi A3, Corsa VXR, etc. However, at the moment I am without any car, due to personal circumstances, and my wife. Long story short, my wife, with whom I am now separated from, decided to max out all my credit cards and pretty much empty out my business bank account. I trusted her, as any man would with his wife. But I got taken for a mug. I had no choice but to declare myself bankrupt almost a year ago. I did have a beautiful Audi and even though I was keeping up with payments and never missed one the car was repossessed because in the finance agreement it stated that if you declare bankruptcy you void your contract. I did not know this and I was assured by my insolvency officer that my car would not be taken since I needed it for work. Well that was not the case and I was left with no car. I am hoping to scrape together as much money as possible and get a 2012-2014 GT86 for around £10-11K. At the moment I am still a few months away from saving up enough money. Once I do get the car I am looking for I am hoping to carry out some, if not all of the following mods. - Change exhaust, Cobra/Nvida or TD cat back and maybe UEL headers - New bigger wheels and change tyres - Change front and rear lights - Kein lowering springs or maybe coilovers - Fit an arm rest, if one is not already fitted - De-badge rear - Install skirts and lip spoiler - Carbon wrap the door mirrors, skirts, lip spoiler and rear diffuser And maybe a few extra bits as I go along. So there you have it guys, watch this space I guess. Thanks for reading.

Thanks Joolz, I’ve got my eye on a few. What I have noticed is that some dealers have increased the price of their cars by £1,000-1,500 overnight since the Government announced that car showrooms could reopen on June 1st. So some of the cars that I could afford are now out of reach. I have contacted these dealers about this and I am waiting for a reply.

Hi all I wanted to know if anyone here has fitted an Aero style boot spoiler to their GT86? I know if you remove the standard spoiler you are left with clip holes along the boot. These will need filling and then the boot and new Aero spoiler will need painting. I want to know the approximate cost for this at a body shop if anyone has had it done. Cheers

Ideally if I could find a boot lid with the aero spoiler fitted and the holy grail would be to find one in the same colour as the car. I think I will get quotes from a body shop and look at the cost of a boot lid without holes. If the boot lid isn’t the same colour it will need painting so it might be better to just fill and paint the original.

Thanks for the legal advice, I’ll take my chances.

My brother is the only person I trust so what else do you suggest?

The best thing about being bankrupt is that she won’t ever see a penny from me. So she’s not going to ever benefit financially.

Many thanks guys, I will most definitely keep everyone posted. Looking forward to it.
