Toyota Sera reluctantly for sale

OK folks, because my beloved is getting an Employment Pass in SG (Again :-p ), once he gets it, he will no longer be able to drive his Malaysian car in Singapore... which means it makes no sense to have two cars in Malaysia, which in turn means we have to sell one of our two cars... sigh... and, Yes, you guessed it, the car that is more logical to sell is my little Toyota Sera (sob.... sob.... sob.... :'( ).

The details are:
- 1990 Toyota Sera, 1.5
- 2+2 seater, with Gull-wing doors (see picture below). The colour of my car is the one in the picture that says Light Turquoise. I think it looks more like Silver!
- Interior is blue-grey fabric.
- Registered in my name, no loan on it.
- Bought for RM30K, Spent another RM30K on doing it up:
- engine, aircon, power steering rack, and brakes completely overhauled (that was the bulk of the cost!!)
- Totally all new piping, tubing, valves, etc. I think every single non-metal part of the engine has been replaced.
- new sound system (plays MP3!)
- new 3rd brake light (the old one was in a very stupid location)
- new electric windows wiring
- new alarm system,
- new hydraulic door supports
- even new floor mats
- I will be putting 4 new tyres on it in the near future, as they are due for a change.
- Maintained by Tom's Toyota Specialist in Bangsar, and it is really in good condition
- Asking price is RM49K negotiable (Yes, I know, I will be losing money on it, but I sure cant ask RM60K for it!!!)



So, if any of you know any member of the potential Sera fan club, please drop me a comment.

Sorry Wango, not interested in breaking my Sera up into parts. Either it gets bought as a CAR, or I keep it.

Am looking to buy a 2nd hand Toyota Sera, but your price is pricey. Drop me an email jmneoh@gmail.com what is your lowest offer price

Sorry JM, I have spent a lot of money on the car - including the fact that I am now repainting it and replacing all the rims and tyres (another RM5K on top of what I have already spent). As such, I am really not interested in selling for a cheap price.

Keep an eye on http://www.motortrader.com.my/asp/search/index.asp. Key in Toyota in the MAKE field, and when it comes through with the results check out the models right at the bottom of the screen. I do sometimes find the Sera listed there - at least once every 2 to 3 months. You would have better luck getting a cheaper Sera, but be warned that if they are cheap, you would need to spend a LOT of money doing them up.

Good luck.
