New To The Stagea

[SLO-N-STEDY]

Hmm, I obviously missed that page

Are they still THAT expensive at autowholesale ? Last time I checked them prices were... hmm.. hm... :

i think i double printed that page and handed it out. lol.

umm they arent bad prices at AWS. they arent the best but ive actually seen worse. and you can bargain them down. the chick that stole my car, (kidding) got it for 2k less than asking price.

[mcnamg]

you can certainly bargain them down but the cars till cost waaaaay more than if you import yourself

he he so everyone keeps saying. but you run the risk of buying a dud. its a small risk but still one nonetheless. thats what i dont want to deal with

[qikstagea]

Especially when you nail the throttle and the noise of the open dump hits - you can hear it a mile off!!!

So what exactly did she get and how much was the final price, if you dont mind me asking ?

[IMPORTD]

car was sold for $18k which is what they were always after anyways... lol

go down to the sister company in cannington and find stagea's going for $18k, knock em down to $14k easy.

We all know what one can import one for so paying an extra $4k+ because a car yard is selling one is just stupid.

Oh, so she paid $18 k for Series 1 ? Isn't it a bit too much ? $14 K sound much better

How much is Series 2 then ?

yeah she paid 18k. gotta remember though, the thing had bodykit, stereo and 18's on it. im not saying that justifys the price, but it does ease the pain, lol. theres no way she could have got that car off them for less than that. i bargained, and they wouldnt budge lower than 18k no matter what.

series 2, i have not seen many around. although I am keen at looking at the yellow one at AWS. its advertised for like 26k, but I have spoken to them, and they are flexible with the price.

what would people pay for a Series 2. with like 40k on the clock.????

I'd ask to see the log book, if they don't have one then forget the 40k reading and look at the condition of the car only... what year is it? Say 98, that would mean 5,000km per year, it would be mint if correct.

Could be a good bargaining chip at least.

They all come with log book from AWS. Umm condition is pretty damn good. its 49k on the clock. 1998 model.

what price would it be worth. drives very nice. no noises. everything works.

[Stinky Rooster]

I have had a look at the yellow one at AWS and it is in really good cond body wise - even underneath it looks damn near brand new. The only reason it is still there is because it originally hit their yard at $29K!!!!

BUT........

I know for a fact that it was used as a stage car for the 2006 TargaWest tarmac rally. I was a stage official on all 4 days and I have to say that you don't need much imagination to figure out how it was treated.

someone elses car + closed roads = drive it like you stole it.

It was the car that peaked my interest in Stagea's to start with but I would avoid that particular one like the plague...

it may be nice to drive at the moment, but it will show its abuse sooner rather than later

hmmm handy advice. thanks. sounds like i will be approaching a personal import i think. dammit. might ask imports 101 to start looking for me. might get already modded one. they are bloody good with pricing too.

[Ska]

Mine just dropped in price, its now $27k and every month will drop about $1k, once it gets to ~$20k I'll properly advertise it, it should sell with all the mods it has for $20k

[SLO-N-STEDY]

dammit Cyrus why'd you have to say that. lol. i would have to wait bout two months, then would be set, cause i could afford to buy it, get it here and licence it lol.

[Ska]

2 mths it'll prolly be $25k

[SLO-N-STEDY]

can you email me some recent piccys???

[email protected]

I've been through the ones linked in your sig.

hmm can I wait two months.

[Tangles]

Ska's car is a TRUE sleeper.

had a power tune I believe of 230awkw on the stock turbo........... with a highflow and poncams surely 270awkw could be achieved.

add in a bodykit from sau-member AMS and it'd be a beast

mine can be bought for $95k

[SLO-N-STEDY]

you mean 9.5k dont you. lol.

if the price is right i would definately be keen on Ska's. a modified one is always more fun from the start. plus cheaper. but yeah.

I dont have a digital camera so the ones in my link under the "New Mags" link are the newest, but I can go out and take more if you want.........?

It has the stocker mags on it atm but, so doesnt look like much, which is great cause the only thing that gives away it's poer is the 4" tip now Bad thing is that the 18" 235's used to just give a little squeak, but the stocker 15" with 205's well they spin through first and halfway through second, when on a private road of course, never on a public road.........

[Ska]

So you'd get 2 set of rims with it, the 18" and the 15" as I probably would need them anymore, along with all the other stagea crap I have stored up
