Stagea choice's which model??

[davemoto63]

Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz..

I'm days away from buying either

a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a

2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?)

Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well.

I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years.

Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference?

Buy whichever one makes you happiest when you sit in it. After all, that's where you'll be experiencing it.

The AR-X Four is a "crossover" type model with enhanced offroad ability over the normal models. I'd be basing my decision on that to be honest. The AR-X has slightly worse fuel consumption as it's about 40kg heavier, and has a bit higher ground clearance.

I was wondering about that.

There are scans of the Nissan sales brochures floating around online. Might be worth having a read through those to see what other differences there are.
