Stagea Autech 260rs

[RS4StagMan]

I found this Autech Stagea advertised on www.carsales.com.au and was wondering if they have come down so much on price lately....

18K with 144,000 klms?

Thoughts anyone?

Its cheap.

Probably a good reason too.

VERY high km's that is why almost guarantee a rebuild as soon as you pick it up add $5000 or more by the time you do turbo's as well it aint as cheap as it sounds. I was looking aorund japan yards the other day good low km 260rs's still going for over 2-2.5 million yen which is about $22,000-25.000 and add import tax,gst and compliance and there goes 35k. I have seen some superclean low km for around the 4 million mark so no prices haven't come down that much.

Yeah i saw that one too, kind of suss really....

Im the one that would be crying, i bought one of the first 260's in Australia as far as im aware, and i paid near on 50k for it early 2006!

I got mine in August 2006, to my knowledge it was one of the first. I think there were 2 others.

For that type of km I think that the owner would be selling it for a non profit. Its really hard to say, price in japan for that car would see it on road for that sort of money. If the turbos have not been changed then they will need to be soon. in saying that a low modified RB26 should last longer than 144k km, there is nothing like a test drive. i looked for a long time to find mine and import it. Its hard to find one that has the right km on it and sells for a price you can afford. If you do go ahead then get the auction report from the owner and have a good hard look over it to see what condition its in.

Its missing the centre part for the rocker cover... wonder why that would be taken off and not put back on?

[Lil_Bobby_260]

i know of a fantastic black example that is available for 30k :-)

I dont use the centre part of the rocker cover on mine. Makes changing plugs so much easier and keeps coil packs cooler I guess. Just doesn't look as good. But heaps of people do it.

[kidafa]

people also run without that rocker cover to keep the coil packs cooler as they get fairly hot being so close to the head.
