Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know my car is finally up for sale. If you know anyone looking for a cheap modded manual Stagea, point them here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/19...-M-t209261.html

I'm starting at $18,000, but if it takes too long to sell I'll start dropping it.

The car needs someone who can afford to give it some TLC, as with a new baby and looking at buying a house my funds are severly limited.

Cheers,

Leshy

Well good luck with the sale. There are so many for sale these days.

Not so many manual dual sunrooves with leather though I think.. :)

Sorry Nick, change is a sign of progress though. No doubt I'll get another stagea (M35 me thinks) in a few years, just have to get a house first and settle down.

good luck with the sale :D i actually believe it might be the icing on the cake so to speak...so many people want manuals and leather interiors so you might just be in luck :nyaanyaa: I dont think youll have a problem selling...its seems that some stageas are hanging around for ages to sell and some that have only been advertised for a few weeks or a month are getting snapped up. Strange!!

Good luck :D

Youve just gotta have what they want i guess. I think 18k is a decent asking price for what the car is. Luxury cruiser, thats been tastefully modded to handle very well and make decent power. High kms, but doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things.

On a different subject - got those taillights leshy. Cheers. Trader rating +1

Thanks mate, i try my best :D

I'll be open to offers, but as you can see, I haven't gone overboard with mods, and a lot of them are useful. the tow bar has come in handy heaps, and the manual has increased my fuel efficiency a fair bit. I'm averaging 12L/100km combined driving now. I'm sad to see her go, but i'm having trouble keeping her in a good condition. I'd rather sell now than completely wreck it before someone else can take care of it.

sad to hear :)

its VERY difficult to price stageas in today's market.

I completely understand your reasons though. Mine is also for sale due to cost reasons, they just cost a little bit more to keep on the road compared to say aussie cars.

The stagea's been a fantastic "sports" wagon to own and drive but the budget is important and I've kind of had my fun with the car and am ready to move on.

Life priorities seem to catch up with all of us hey...in one way or another.

Pretty much the reason l'm keeping mine.

Looked at getting a CRX/civic (not del-sol crx either) to drive around in while saving for a house, but with so many stagea's for sale, chances of me selling and making it worth it isn't worth the time.

I need someone to just hit my car enough to write it off ... its well and truly over-insured.

Gotta say l like the kit you have, subtle yet enough there to add a bit flair.

Think mine's gonna come off soon and just drive it stock for a while.

I sold mine for 17,000 drive away with everything. Though, I had no leather and was auto.

Although this doesnt have the suspension or wheels of mine it is manual. Big +ve for many. I think it shouldn't sell for less than 16-17.

Good luck, I understand.

Oh yeah, now I see the coilovers and all that. I had the whole SK group buy kit, but I am certain now re-reading this that they would be very on par.

I must have skipped over it as its not divided into sections (Engine/Box, Suspension, Body etc). Maybe make it like that to be a bit easier to read?

they dont sell quick

my Vr V8 ex cop 118000kms 215kw took over 6months to sell, for only 7k (wanted 11k originally)

my fully sicko CBR took over 6months as well, of proper advertising (paid) and sold for under 8k (wanted 12)

hold it and dont drop too much, no point in giving it away

advertise where you can (ebay, carpoint, etc), just that I dont think they sell quick unless they are "eagerly priced" ie 9k

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
