Keep in mind as soon as you buy it your gonna have to take out a 100km service - so bump that 9k up to 10k

Surely the 9k is negotiable. Take him down a grand, spend grand on service. Free service! (f**k logic)

Might pay to ask what was involved with 95,000k service.
Dont assume it was just an oil change.
Some manufacturers mark the 95000k service as the 100k service due to the interval periods.

Thanks guys!
The VIN # : 6U9000DE3A02016125
Its done 197,339 K's - I know thats a lot but I still think its a good buy due to it being 1997 5speed tip.
Also considering the condition its in it looks well, theres no roof rust or engine rust.
May need new shocks and rego expires April.

Some more photos are up on the dealers website.

Oh lord.
I prey for you.

K, won't totally rain on your parade, grats on the buy.

Is it just bad pictures, is the bumper really that matte in person?

Ask Dwayne for a tip shifter cover insert, yours is missing.

Whats with the loose wire going around the engine bay?

Change the plates unless you plan on a sex change. ;)

I also just noticed the price. 8O

Whats wrong with the 5 speed? Atleast it's not a 4 speed muahah :twisted:
Nah its just pictures, the matte looking is a reflection of the clouds lol.
Its just been detailed hence it has a really nice shine with nice paintwork.
Dont worry the plates were the first thing i was going to change!
The price is also not what Im paying, Im gettin it for $3,990!
In terms of the loose wire, I have no idea lol, perhaps u wanna help me with that? :P

Fact of the 5 spd.
Something goes wrong... good luck.
There are very very few 5spds around, and not one thing from the 4spd can be used for parts.

You should be okay, but, given the option, I know which I'd have picked given the option again.

Nah, if something goes wrong just spam Dwayne hahaha. Also I could be wrong but perhaps those wires are for the sound system. The one we looked at the other day had something similar. I could be wrong, just a guess.
