Remembering Japanese cars from the past

Carina sightings: Carina GT-R AA63 in Peru

Some time ago I already blogged about a Carina GT-R in Peru. I probably now found the sales adverts for it:

http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.pe/MPE-4685639-vendo-toyota-carina-gtr-_JM

This is how the car looked:

It states that the Carina GT-R was located in Lima and that it only drove 9000 and 10000 kilometers. Looking at the engine, diff, interior and the state of the car I doubt that the last fact could be true. Should rather be 190000 and 200000 kilometers. 😉

As you can see the diff housing is leaking:

And the engine is quite used and dirty:

And the steering wheel looks shabby, so it is quite used

According to the translation of this advertisement it is supposed to be owned by the 80 year old grandpa of the seller. Yeah right… 😉

Anyway, they asked 3999 (I assume Peru Nuevos Soles) for it which is roughly 1000 euros. Not bad! I would have bought it for that price!!
