Thanks for the reply guys.Daniel2019 wrote:$7,500 for a pre-facelift non mivec is a very high pricetag. Although it does look in good condition..
Not worth it. For that price can get a real good facelift mivec with some goodies.
Too expensive.. for $5,000 maybe
Yeah I had a look at that one, but my partner worries about the km, thanks thoughshadowarrior wrote:Welcome to the club.
If I were you, I would have bought this one:

That orange is a complete Vinyl wrap over a Maroon
This may not make a difference, but have a spare engine with 105K on it in the shed as a backup. This cost me $700 and was sold to me with 105K on it. This would add $700 to the priceof the car, but If the worst happens, just change the engine. Shouldnt cost you more than 2K to change it. That puts total at 7K,comparable to the maroon one.Yeah I had a look at that one, but my partner worries about the km, thanks though
I guess I will keep looking.

I talk a lot of sh*t, usually have to keep a roll of toilet paper handy in the car for my mouth

Exactly... And these cars are getting old. So should have high k's. otherwise, they have been wound back. Only a few have had really low K's..Daniel2019 wrote:Nothing wrong with high KMs if they're highway or if everything has been well taken care of.

hmmm that makes me thinking, do you by any change have the picture of the interior?dstocks wrote:This may not make a difference, but have a spare engine with 105K on it in the shed as a backup.

If you mean my orange one, with the spare engine, you are looking at $4500 with stock rims or $5000 with the starcorps in the picture.oh i forgot to mentioned it before but I wasn't thinking to get it for 7.5k since I'm on pretty tight budget. I somehow manage to haggle it down to 6k which is my limit. Does that change anything?
oh sorry, i was talking about the carsales' ad, i manage to haggle it down to 6k. By the way is it 5k with the starcorps and spare engine? Do you perhaps have the picture of the interior?dstocks wrote:There are plenty out there for that price. You could always come to the bonfire in early April to to see all the cars and see what some good examples look like so you know what to look for.

If thats not what you meant and you are talking about other FTO's, im happy to look at anything you find and tell you if you are getting a reasonable deal.
I think that is a much better option for you ... Can't go wrong with a Dwayne car, especially one that was actually purchased for him to use as a daily ...h4zey wrote:oh sorry, i was talking about the carsales' ad, i manage to haggle it down to 6k.
