Prospective Stag Buyer Needs Urgent Assistance!

[Tommy G]

Just an update;

I bought the 2000 model Yellow Type-S yesterday! The inspection report came back really positive, and in the photos it looks sweet - it generaly appears to be in fantastic condition. I payed the FOB charge today and should have it on the boat soon with any luck! (Does anyone know roughly how long you can expect to wait after paying to getting it shipped?)

Just organising the compliance plate through GT Auto at Croyden now (J-Spec's recommendation).

Thankyou to all the people who were kind enough to reply to my questions - you were a big help.

Just an update - inspected the Stagea up at GT Auto in Croydon today. It's even better up close than I thought it was going to be. The mechanic said it was one of/if not the best example he'd worked on! Should be right to take home in about a week. Thanks to everyone who helped me out all those months back.

i also loved mine even more the first time i had seen it in the flesh. and another note, mine is an rs4s, and mine didnt have the 3 gauges. it has the xnavi touch screen unit, then the radio/md player and controls below in a single din. you should also search the stagea section in regards to those 3 centre gauges just in case, cos i think i remember reading something that it wasnt as easy as it may appear to be....anyways congrats on ur car man u will love it when u take her for a drive!

So how's the yellow stag' going Tom? Just thought I'd add something to this rather ancient thread... which should probably die... but I have made an observation about the NEO engine covers which I *think* is correct but can anyone confirm this... on '99 and earlier models the embossed "Turbo" and "NEO Straight 6" etc. writing is painted red, on '00 and later models they're not (just plain grey, like Tom's.

had another look and I see now Timmeh! said

later model neos did not have coloured writing on the engine cover

but there was a lot of "they probably washed it off" and "they must have used a harsh chemical" so I thought I'd just clear it up
