[mike40sydney]

well i just asked jspec to start the paper work on my stagea white series 2 triptronic

[EGA41T]

nice one, where is the link?

[darrinspencer]

Looks like a great buy for the price

I thought you were going imports101?

[Tangles]

here she is guys my new baby http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=6120

I talked to my brother about that one.........

well done

Q: does it come with log books etc, or have those kms been wound back a bit (hence the price)

[66yostagea]

g0od one Mike. Was loking at it Sunday. Really want another Green one, but S2 . Ican wait.

[EGA41T]

looks nice mike, what are the two things in the boot?

[AlexCim]

good luck to you

[munchstagea]

Very nice, well done, crazy price for an S2. A little clean up and it will look great, now enjoy the wait... That is the worst bit by far, I hope you get lucky and get it on a ship soon!

Cheers

Luke

[Tangles]

the price seems too cheap to me for a S2

so, whats wrong with it?????

[AlexCim]

as craig says - nothing ... always trust the sales person, especially the one with no liability if something goes wrong (TRUST ME wink wink experiance wink, they dont have any liability if the cars a lemon)

mike, sorry, dont mean to ruin your excitement. I am sure it will turn out fine in the end.

[munchstagea]

Not guaranteeing that it is perfect or that there isn't something wrong with it but I did see a few similar S2 Sale prices at auction when I was searching. I think if they have high KM's are pretty stock and a little rough around the edges they can be extremely hard to sell in the Japanese market, so I think it is a plausible price. Bargain if it works out pretty much.

[Tangles]

True - all the best with it. So what if it costs a grand here and there to fix up a couple of minor issues, a bargain either way you look at it.

Considering that 12months ago S2 were minimum 19k private or 26k car yard.

i guess at 11k landed and complied, a rebuilt RB26+gearbox is only another 10k + labour can get a RB26 stagea for ~22-24k

[wolverine]

can't wait to see it after its had a good bath.

[Tangles]

i apreciate the input alex now how DO you spell pesimist lol

No in all seriousness its pretty cheap; I guess just have a few dollars set aside "just in case". Thats all. Hell - a 25k Stagea with GTR engine and gearbox sounds pretty good to me !

When I bought mine for 18k I had 5k set aside for repairs if needed, and once I knew it wasnt needed the mods began! LOL

Pessimist

[qikstagea]

Pessimist

haha nice.

i think all he's saying mike is that it is an odd-ish find, be wary. no harm in that. there's a difference between pessimism and caution.

i doubt the car will have dramas, i cant remember who said it, but yes it will be just because of its higher kms, and that fact that some are for sale with kms as low as 19. to sell one which such comparitively high kms, price needs to be low.

i saw similar cars just abandoned in japan, cos its cheaper than having them crushed, and less hassle than selling.

[AlexCim]

yeh man just playing too.

But yeh, there is always going to be someone out there that wants it gone NOW and will take a loss just for that.

Caution is always on my side these days after importing a lemon.

[qikstagea]

yeah i think a lot of people that import and get exactly what they thought they were getting dont know just how lucky they are. can be stressful, but can be very worthwhile.

if there are any issues, im sure we will all jump onboard to help out, anyway.

For sure - maybe, well, if I can get over my jealousy!
