help trying to find old car

[matt j]

hey guys i need some help, i am trying to find out what happened to my old car, it was a cayanne red pearl 97 gst, tan cloth interior b16g etc. Last i knew the car was in rochester. Here are a few pics last i knew the car had a red hood on it, but anyways any help would be great! thanks

Do you still have the VIN? If so, run a Carfax report on it. That would be a good starting point.

[matt j]

i dont have the vin anymore, i wish i did.

If you have a MN plate number I could tell you who owns it, if it's in MN anyway.

[Jakey]

Do you have any more information about the car?
Who owned it in Rochester?
When did you sell it?
Was the car affiliated with the import shop that used to be open in Rochester? I believe it was called Street Dreams.

[matt j]

i dont know for sure if it was affiliated or not, i was trying to find the pics of it when it was in minnesota but cant seem to track them down, i sold the car in october of 2005 to a kid in iowa, then the car came back up for sale and a guy in minnesota bought it, and put it up for sale sometime in early 2006. he was going to try selling it so he could buy a 350z.

here are the specs on it
97 gst
tan cloth interior
big 16g turbo
safc2 mounted up by the sunroof switch
boost, air/fuel, volt gauge on pillar
yellow hoses all over
1g bov
95,000 miles
newer 7 bolt with around 70k on it
skunk2 lowering springs on stock shocks
apexi n1 muffler
injen intake
rc 550 injectors
255lph fuel pump
flat black gst wheels
fmic
5% tint on the back windows and 35% on windshield

[matt j]

[matt j]

What's it worth to ya?

[matt j]

Do you know where the car is? im really interested

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

You know its just on jackstands in someone's garage.

[HiImBrian]

Why is it such a big deal to know where it is?

[matt j]

Because i would like to try and buy the car back from whoever owns it now

[HiImBrian]

Ok that's understandable. From the pics you posted it looks pretty nice. Just lettin you know though, a lot can happen in 2 or 3 years. So it may not be what your expecting it to be. Good luck though

[matt j]

thanks man, ya im wanting to see pics before hand but i want to try and talk to the guy first

It's in Rochester MN the tabs are expired so it might not be here anymore.

[matt j]

ya the last time it was registered was may 2006. Im just hoping its still in rochester, and not at a junkyard.

[dsm95gsxer]

The tabs were up in March.
