The dream is dead. I wanted to do so much with this car, but we're moving to a single income soon, and need something more family friendly, and less harsh on the hip pocket. Things to be aware of: Located in Northern suburbs of Victoria. Everything is pretty stock standard, apart from the radio, which is bluetooth and aux compatible. Recently replaced crank angle sensors, and have a spare in the back too. I know it needs rear pads and rotors, but otherwise mechanically sound, will have had a minor service by the time you inquire. Has done 201,000 k's. A bit of paint fading on the right hand mirror shell. Rego expires in February. Asking price is $7,500 but feel free to make me an offer (nothing ridiculous, please) Feel free to ask me anything about the car, and I'll do my best to answer. Also, sorry for crap photos, too many cars to move around, and it was too damn hot that day.

My eyes have been soiled.

I happen to know that a mob in Campbellfield has a Stagea sitting in the front yard that has been picked clean, save for the dash that includes two single din slots. Mine bolted straight in, and I have the same set up. At least, I'm pretty confident I saw that, I just took the window washer bottle and ran back to the mechanic.

I'm pretty sure this is it, I got it on special though. If you didn't live in Sydney, I'd happily drink a beer and point at screws you need to undo. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/gps-car-audio/kenwood/kenwood-kdc-u563bt-200w-mp3-cd-tuner-with-usb-ipod-bluetooth/694636/ The Aerpro harnesses you can get at Autobarns/Ebay, whichever is your fancy, but don't forget to get an aerial adapter as well. This unit won't play CD's, either, but, who the heck uses CD's anymore, amiright?

If it helps, I just installed a new head unit in my M35, cost me $120 for the unit, another $40 for harnesses, and took me a couple of hours of fiddling to get the job done (first time cracking the dash open). Includes Bluetooth music and phone calls, as well as complete hands free control if you are a smart (read: Android) user. Bottom line is that the factory Bose speaker aren't too bad, and a new head unit isn't as scary as people seem to think it is.

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear me whinge sooner or later, I'm under no illusions!

Certainly do! First thing is a new head unit, cannot stand driving without my music/podcasts. Then, based on research here, I'll look at getting the Scottys dump pipe, new exhaust (Fujitsubo Legalis R), shift kit, do something with the intake, revamp the cooling, and, somewhere along the line, get an Android system operating in place of the screen (something which seems to have eluded Stage owners thus far). I'll do all of this, of course, when and if I ever have any money to spend; I've got to get these mods past the Minister for War and Finance!

What have I done to my Stagea lately? Well, I finally bought one! I've been waiting 3 weeks to get this awesome car, and today was finally the day (Ignore Carsales logos, this thing is finally no longer for sale!). Super looking forward to getting active in the Wagoneer community
