Hi guys,I am looking at a buying a V36 coupe.

I originally wanted an auto as the manuals are alot more expensive in the same condition. However I have come across one in VIC that is dirt cheap and I have had it inspected by my mechanic aswell who has given me the go ahead.

Before I buy it, I just want to know if there are any issues or things that are good to know about the 6 speed models. I couldn't find much info so I thought I would ask.

I don't think there are any particular issues.. the weak synchro issue was resolved during the V35 run, so won't be an issue on the V36.

Take it for a test drive and see what you think.. the feel of the V35 6MT took a while to get used to, even for experienced manual drivers.

Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick two.

When you say cheap, it depends on what you mean. There is a big difference between a car being sold for $5k under market for a quick sale and $20k under market because its f**d.

In regards to the boxes, haven't heard any issues. Just look after it.

In relation to title, a little more thought next time. The guys can offer a wealth of info when you ate clear and concise with your request.

All the best. Hope you find an awesome car!

It's not that cheap, its about 5-6k under market value. The guy is trading it in, showed me receipts for the new car he purchased. Everything is legit, Just wants to make a few bucks on top of the trade in value.

Well thanks for all your help guys.

    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and thank you brother πŸ™πŸΌ jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! πŸ˜… every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts.

    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
