apparently the car is in Germany now :

MOBILE.de

Price Gross:
16,999 EUR

in a way the price it's not hugely high . at the moment the tax to vrt the car in Romania for example it's 5800 eur , plus you add the value of the car , the transport and the LHD conversion .... voilla

The price may be high - bit it does look like an incredibly sorted FTO.

No chaved out car ad would be complete without an exagerated power claim

Power: 162 kW / 220 PS

I guess if you were in to that sort of thing it might be worth a few K max (ignoring the slowing market and recession). Since St Patricks day has passsed this year I reckon it has depreciated further in the last week (specifically on midnight March 17th) like a Christmas tree on St stephens day. Best advice would be to hold off until March next year and try to sell to some tuning house/importer to run in the St.Patricks day parade as an advertisement. Not forgetting the leprechaun costume for full effect.

Would I be right in saying that registering a car like an FTO in Germany would be expensive?

the LHD conversion looks well & you would b the only one with one aswell... people pay alot for something RARE

by **colm_mcm** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 4:13 pm

only realised it was LHD now :oops:

People are prepared to pay over the odds for something rare and either necessary or desirable. Rarity alone does not impart value. It is of course a matter of opinion, but to my mind this car only has rarity on it's side and is lacking in both of the other two qualities.

Registering Japanese cars ( non euro) almost anywere in Europe it's a pain in the back price wise .

So much for bringing an FTO back home at some stage

there is an FTO owners club in russia, there are around 10 fto's spotted in my home country , and i'm sure there are a good few polish guys who took some fto's to Poland when they returned from irl/uk .
few of them spotted in spain and the islands as well.

the car is still on polish plates i see, so maybe it's sold via a German dealer

FTO is a rare car .. but there are rarer cars out there

lol didnt mean it like that.

But I dont actually count the FTO as a rare car. ts not "common" like a civic or a celica but not what id call rare

I love the interior of that car (bar the writing on the seat). Its not OTT (in my opinion

) but the quality looks spot on. The tidy conversion and proper paint job (albeit in a questionable colour) shows serious time gone into it.

But yeah, still pricey.
