Good News!

[Punk72]

Well after three weeks of waiting for finance to come through it has finally been approved!!!!

I fly up to sydney on the 17th (next week) to pick the car up and drive back to tassie the following day, what better way to come acquainted with a new car

then a 10hr drive!

i do have one question, the car is registered in nsw so will i have to pay stamp duty there and also when i re register it in tas?

here is a picture of my new car

cheers

I would be negotiating to buy the car without reg, but send the plates back once you get it home!

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

you can get a 2day to 1month rego with no plates . . . just a peice of paper on the winow

and looking at your drivers side fog light, looks like your missing the reflector next to it .... if a reflector goes there, check out the difference

[Punk72]

yeah i saw that, wasnt sure what that was but i saw the gap, how hard is it to get one of those?

The comes with rego already so i might as well use that up and then get it registered in tas

[skidkid]

Nice. What year? Auto? Standard? Happy boosting.

It's a 1998 WC34 2.5 TURBO 5 SPEED MANUAL

Another car from HCN if I'm not mistaken (www.allimports.com.au).

Talk to Sean Phan when you are getting the car, he sold me my Stagea M35 and he was pretty cool.

Good luck!

Jesus christ dude, identical to mine.

But your missing your unicorn badge on the grill?

[Punk72]

Jesus christ dude, identical to mine.

bloody hell you right, are those rims 17inch BBS? Your not in tas are you? I might have to paint some blue strips up over the bonnet and roof

Yeah i have been dealing with Sean Phan, seems pretty sensible, cant wait to pick it up 7 days to go

[Mouseness]

Nah in qld

funny you should say that, im thinking of getting black striped over mine to match my mates white buell haha

theyre 17" works

thought they were the same as yours : /

[Bis-e Bee]

It is indeed missing the front badge, and from the photo's the only badge on the back is the Stagea on the left hand side and possibly the Nissan in the middle of the back below the window.

No RS Four etc.

Some of you guys have recommended debading so it's nearly all done

I would love to do a roadtrip back to Tassie with Punk just for something to do, but fuel costs don't allow it!

Though I have heard it's awesome to drive around Tasmania, nice and twisty!

Punk72 - if you want someone to show your car too and you are near the blacktown region let me know I might even be able to get Nick to bring his WC34 so you can get a list of mod's started

I'd be cool with that...

[Punk72]

That would be cool to catch up, but it all depends on the time and if i can find my way around Sydney!!

Yeah i like the idea of the de badging make the car look cleaner/smoother or something but i do like it.

I am getting a mechanic to look at it today, i am sure all will be good as its only done 50000km ish just for piece of mind!!

I am not sure which i am more excited about the drive back to tas or getting the car, i guess its both as you cant do one with out the other,

No its the car!!

[Bis-e Bee]

Nick - sorry for dropping your name I just thought you would have a bit of an idea what to look for so you could have a squiz at the car and I'm sure you know a lot of mods you can suggest as we all love mods!

Punk - Where are you are picking the car up from is quiet close to the CBD of Sydney were as Nick and myself are located further back towards Penrith. But I'm sure you want to give it a drive to test it out before you start the big journey home!

Good idea with the Mechanic, especially when you are driving it so far to get it home. Last thing you want is to be stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.

Are you extending the warranty on the vehicle?

I went for a 5 Year Parts & Labour Warranty (includes roadside assistance ALL states) for an extra $1000, as I was buying a $19,000 car it was just a bit of extra piece of mind. But they also have the option of 3 Years ($750) or 1 Year ($500).

I have had a very brief look at the car and the body is quiet neat, nothing major from memory. I think you will be cheering when you pick it up.

Hope all goes well with the mechanic, I assume he is an indepedent so you get an honest, un-biased opinion *finger's crossed*

Let us all know how it goes, I don't know about anyone else but I am excited for you

[Mouseness]

With no badges you're gunna need one of my 'not a f%#k'n volvo' stickers haha.

[kidafa]

is this a prime edition stag with leather and woodgrain interior....?

If not has anyone purchased a white s2 with gold wheels from syd thats a prime edition?

[Punk72]

Well just got the mechanic report and it seems all good, it needs a wheel alignment and there was a oil sweat mark on the transfer case (very miner) and a few nicks here and there! I talked to sean and he was all to keen to take care of the wheel alignment and have a look at the transfer case, i went for the one year option but now thinking maybe 3 years would be the go,

I was eying that not a f%#k'n volvo sticker off thinking thats pretty cool

No its just a normal stagea not a prime edition stag

[mattye]

Hey Punk72.

I was also looking at this car but you got in before me...though sean wasn't gona drop the price (i wasn't gona pay what he was asking) hope you enjoy the car.

[mattye]

Also I sent a PM through to you.

[Bis-e Bee]

This discussion went very quiet, what's the gossip

Hopefully everything is still on target for your new car Punk72.

Shoot us an update, I'm on the Central Coast at the moment and I'm not sure if I will be in the Sydney region on Tuesday.

See how I go, mobile is 0438 242 573 and email is [email protected]
