if i didn't have to work i'd offer, pm adam (chef_stagea) and get him to take you in his 260rs - by the time you'll get to synergy you'll want to buy his car which is coincidently for sale too

[kidafa]

hi mate,

I may be free. I've got my head around RSfours and 260's but no M35 tech head.....

What times ur flight land and whens ur flight out?

[RubyRS4]

"only 74,487 Km"?

My C34 stag's got 10K less. Yeah take Adam with you, so he can eyeball wear and tear.

[chef_stagea]

im free till like 12 sat... when do u land?

at the end of the day a private sale will be better off... sinergy have to make money some how...but be way pm me ur flight details.

[-RBD2-]

i think adams 260 is going for less than 27k.....

[wailiam]

I wouldnt mind a 260RS! but I gotta get an auto cos wife needs to be able to drive it...

I havent booked the flight yet, car is being inspected by Motacheck today, dealer recommended them - I hope they arent 'affiliated'.

There's usually a flight that arrives around 930am or the next one is just after mid-day, will let yas know cheers!

PM Sent with the details Will (didn't see your thread until now. Sorry)

I have been told that Synergy to actually have pretty good stock.

That Axis kit is not an option from factory for an ARX (as you will see in the PM).

It has been available for a considerable amount time (over a year I think) and $27k is too high IMO.

If I recall correctly, it has Tein suspension, but other than that and the Axis kit, it looks pretty stock to me... although I am confused... Where did the aftermarket screen go?

It was in the rear interior pic, but not in the drivers seat pic.

hmmm.

[nickcorr]

I was wondering exactly the same...

Looked like one of the "much more useful than OEM" Panasonic units, like mine.

... although I am confused... Where did the aftermarket screen go?

Got them down to 25k, still a premium...

It's advertised as Bose sound system...

Sales dude reckons its standard suspension but because the wheels on arx are higher profile it fills the guards better.

[pixel8r]

Yep looks like the bose system. Doesn't the screen pop down into the dash?

It has definitely been lowered. The wheels may fill the guards but whats their excuse for the low (ie. non-ARX) ride height?

74000kms is pretty normal. Most freshly imported M35's I've seen are in the 60-80K kms ballpark.

25K seems a little high but then I'm not sure what AR-X's go for...they're definitely a higher spec than the RS and a notch up from the RX too if I remember correctly.

Does he realise that while the ARX has 18's as opposed to the RS's 17's, the ARX is also 40mm higher than an RS, RX or Axis?

Definitely check out if it actually is the Bose system. Bose and the standard integrated system look almost identical

?? I thought the standard integrated system IS Bose? There's another AR-X on carsales that has the same one.

Yeah they've got a silver axis there grade 4C with auction papers. K's are too high for my liking though.

I'm not too keen on the suspension being so low, i've heard teins can be quite stiff.

[iamhe77]

There are three audio systems.

RS gets the Clarion single DIN unit (which allows for the 3 gauge unit or storage compartment)

The RX and ARX all have the integrated dash, but it can be either the Bose option or standard unit (clarion maybe?)

I believe that the Axis models come standard with Bose... but I may be mistaken.

i might get a chance to sus this out today.. what am i looking for???

[pixel8r]

I drove past this morning on my way to work but the M35's must all be in the showroom. No M35's were out in the fenced area out the front. Do they have another holding yard somewhere?

[wailiam]

Hey Guys

thanks for all the volunteers to help. The car is in some sort of warehouse.

I paid for an inspection done by Motacheck yesterday.

The car isnt quite what i'm looking for so I wont go to adelaide this weekend.

Main thing is the suspension is so low it bottoms out over smallish bumps. Rear is unstable when driving... inside tyre wear on front tyres... in my opinion could have been a car setup for drift... could explain the replaced front bumper and rear tyres had much less tread left than fronts. Everything else about the car is good though I am a bit fussy.

Today I'm bidding on a grade 4.5 ARX with 28,000ks on it!

cheers

Wil

[iamhe77]

Good luck with the bidding Wil!

[RubyRS4]

Good call.

If it doesn't excite ... walk away!
