Hi guys the dreaded day has come where the boss has told me i have to start driving a company car around. My fuel card is costing him to much money to run and service the Stagea. I just don't think he wanted to pay for the 100,00km service

i have no idea if im allowed to put this post up or if im breaking forum rules so if i am i appologise.

it's on car sales for $14,000

If any of you guys know of somebody that is looking for a well looked after car send them my way.

That is very true, i could do that. But not everbody wants leather seats. The person that buys my car might want to put better front seats in also. I was just about to buy Mikes Impul seats and put them in but it would be money that i wouldn't get back if i did that now.

Do these cars have a shocking resale or something. i thought i might have had a call or something by now but not a thing. hmmm nistune might have to be the go. then my boss won't complain so much about the fuel cost.

Import prices for Auto S2s are down around 10k so its not overly surprising. Thats one hell of a car for 10k. But with those mods and it being a local sale and registered etc its still a good buy at 14.

But I'm not holding out much hope for getting much back when I have to sell mine in a year or two to travel.

yeah i saw that the prices have really dropped in the last 12 to 18 months. i guess you get that when you buy a car before everbody else realises how good they are and then they get imported in there hundreds.

if it doesn't sell that just means i get to keep it and do it up a bit more. going to do the 100k service on it over christmas and get it nistuned. i will leave it on the market and if it gets picked up before then, then oh well.

i don't have to pay a loan off or anything as i own it outright so it's only costing me service and rego costs at the moment.

well my car sold last week and the very proud new owner came and picked it up a few days ago. i got $ 12,750.00 for it so i guess thats pretty good.

on another note i smashed my wifes car the day before i sold the Stagea. damn idiot went straight through a give way sign and i T-Boned him and have totally stuffed my neck, shoulder and back up. i hit him doing about 45km/h in a 2006 Barina and the air bags didn't even go off. spent a few hours in hospital getting all checked out so i have been laid up all over christams and have been watching the wife do all the house work :)

well i hope you have all had a great christmas and have been safe and enjoying your holidays if you have them.

Sorry to hear about your injuries. Time to get your wife a Stagea...I left the road at 100km/hr and hit a culvert. With pretensioning seatbelts and airbags I walked away with a big fright and a scratch on my elbow ( car was a w/o)

I just sold a Stagea, im driving around in a "fantastic" 1993 4cyl camry that runs on the sniff of an oily rag. I miss my car already but don't miss the fuel bill. we are just waiting to see if the insurance company writes off the Barina or is going to pay us out. We are trying to figure out what to replace it with, im thinking Mazda 6.

to get near 13k is ok to be honest

my S1 with over 40k of mods would struggle to sell for over 10k I believe.

thankfully always been my wish to keep as a 15yr+ long-termer so another 9.5yrs to go Id say

yeah i planned on keeping my car for a few more years also, unfortunately it was the right car at the wrong time. planning a couple of month overseas trip and another house next year as the unit is getting a bit small now. something had to give and it just made sense to say good bye to the biggest expense in our house.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
