Help Which One

[leetom]

ok got a problem my wife is getting rid of her frontera has shopped around (liberty, outback,camry/sportivo, commodore sv6 or a Series II Stagea) Now the only problem is which one. She had decided on either a 98 Yellow Series II, standard no sunroofs or extras but very clean and tidy or a 99 Pearl White Series II - leather, twin sunnies, woodgrain, electric seats, reversing camera, heated seats etc. The pearl white one is $1000 more. I think that the yellow one is slightly better condition but she's keen on the pearl white. Have included pics. Which one!

Are you going to modify it?

The yellow will look hot slammed on some big wheels, but if you're going to keep it standard, I think stock for stock the white one looks better.

Only mods - (so far) lol. Lowering, wheels, front window tint unless she gets the bug.

Hmm in that case I'd go the yellow one.

Personally of course. Gorgasm's (I think thats his nickname) car looks very nice.. yet it's so simple.

I suppose it comes down to personal taste. Will the yellow be "cool" for awhile then too "loud" after you've had it longer? Both look the goods, and poersonally, I would go the white, only because it has the sunroofs. If you have kids, even more reason.

quick summary

YellowPro

1. yellow : easy for you to spot where she is

2. Looks good and loud

Contra

1. Cops will be noticing you more. (Its been studied in the US that cops tend to look out for car in particular RED in color. Cos fast cars are most likely to be in red those day early90s Ferraris, porsche and Lambos.

Pearl White Pro

1. looks not aggressive.

2. its doesnt show much when its dirty.

contra

1. the paint will be a bitch to match if you need to repaint or anything to it.

But like the guys said personal preference. Rule of thumb dont stand out too much from the crowd if not the cops will be eyeing for you

thanx stasis you might be right, could draw attention especially seeing my wife tends to have a heavy foot somtimes

[Tangles]

the peral white paint isnt hard to match,

its a tin of grey and a tin of whitish stuff - Ive got some from my mate who worked at Protec

yellow looks nice, however being for the wife, Id go for the little extras such as electric heated leather seats and twin sunroof....... plus being a 'lady' LOL the reversing camera might come in handy in the shopping mall carpark *joke - not

try to get it down to $500 difference in price?

heheh like the bit for the reversing camera. But dont tell her though that its good for lady driver.

It's a shame the Yellow one doesn't have all the goodies...I wouldn't hesitate for a second. So my choice would have to be the white due to the xtras it has. Not much price difference,so a good negotiation should get it for the same price as the Yellow one...if not cheaper???

I'd got he white one personally. I have a Pearl White S1 with leather and twin sunnies and the kids love the extra light in the back.

And the Japs have an old saying - "The nail that sticks out get's hammered". Anybody think the yellow one sticks out at all??

Cheers, Greg.

[66yostagea]

Go the white.

[IMPORTD]

I'd go the white... my car is black, rarely off boost and never been pulled up... being female and a wagon, she wont be bothered

White! And.........all Stageas stand out! They are a standout wagon no question.

This is one of those personal taste things and its really up to you to decide because everyone is going to give you a different answer and you'll never make your mind up But if your wife is anything like my partner then your not going to get out of buying the white one becasue it comes with all the goods. Even though you'll probably stop using all the extras once the fun wears off (don't think I've opened my sun roofs for months now ) So you might as well give in now

[Mr_RS4]

As for standing out I think all stageas stand out (maybe because I own one) but I thought as soon as I got the nismo kit fitted I'd start getting pulled up (you can hear it coming) but nothing yet. Only thing I've been pulled up for is a RBT and the policeman just started asking me all about it because he'd never seen anything like it and said it looked great! Even on the odd occasion my partner drives it (she drives a 1.6 pulsar so when she gets in the foot automaticly gets planted )

Meh, saw it once when I was drunk, and it was a burned copy at that, so I'm not the one to be quoting lines from it!

There is bright yellow S2 manual with all the goodies in it down here in Hobart (I know the guy who owns it, his son sold us our Stag) and he get's every boy racer trying to do him at the lights. So he just drives his BMW X5 everywhere!

But then again, I do just love white cars. Nice and clean paintwork, no rice, no chrome......my R31 wagon like that, so is my wife's Stag.

Cheers, Greg.

P.S. Mr. RS4, I know you're only taking the piss!!
