This VM Transit T350 140 (2.4 TDCi, RWD, LWB, Mid-roof) was declared a Repairable Write-Off (Financial) after a front end collision. The damage was fairly minimal, the airbag was not deployed, and the vehicle still drove just as straight, and just as good as before the accident. The van has only traveled 182000 km's (mostly highway... delivering wine), is in great mechanical condition and has been serviced by Ford all of its life (next service due at 195000 kms). It drives and handles superbly! I recently drove the van through 150 km's of windy/hilly roads and was so impressed with the grunt of the engine and the handling of the chassis. It's actually quite fun to drive, with effortless pull, great steering, and good traction. A friend also recently borrowed the van, since having it repaired, and used it to move relocate to Corryong (530kms NE of Ballarat). He said it performed faultlessly, and couldn't praise it highly enough.

The van has been professionally repaired (receipts provided), and will come with a VIV certificate and RWC... nothing for the buyer to do but register. The only reason I'm selling the van unregistered is because it would otherwise mean stamp duty would need to be paid twice (once at registration and once at transfer).

The only other issues I've noticed with the van are:

*Drivers door doesn't always lock with the remote. Unlocks fine, and still locks with key -
*Small dent in bonnet
*A few small pin dents and a minor scrape on the sides
*Drivers seat arm rest damaged
*Vinyl sticker glue residue very slightly visible.... in the right lighting.

None of these problems I'd personally worry about... just trying to be honest.

You will struggle to find a LWB VM Transit in this condition, with under 200000 Km's, for effectively $15600 drive-away with 12 months reg. The van has an unregistered vehicle permit that is valid until 17/09/14, the RWC has been completed, and the VIV will be done on Wednesday (03/09/14)... it is ready to be sold immediately! I can arrange registration for interstate buyers (at buyers expense).

PLEASE IGNORE THE PRICE ON THE BACK WINDOW... OLD PRICE, BEFORE RECENT WORK!

Texts, calls, inspections and test drives are welcome! May consider swaps.

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
