Mature owner, I purchased this vehicle from a lady doctor in 2011.

The car has been meticulously cared for and like all my vehicles, the interior steam cleaned washed and waxed every 4000-5000kms.

Performance wise, the engine is in top condition (any mechanical inspection welcome).

It runs beautifully without any leaks, smoke, misfiring or hiccups what so ever.

Fuel consumption is nothing short of amazing. Averaging 7.5-8L per 100km around suburban traffic and city congestion.

Highway consumption from 5-6L per 100km.

Extremely economical. One full tank lasts me three weeks.

The vehicle is very quick and satisfying but maintains the class, quietness and refinement of a prestige European vehicle when a relaxing drive is required.

I will guarantee you that this car will not disappoint.

Ideal for a family of five or for anybody who has always wanted a modern, classy, European performance car with the convenience of the Automatic self-shifting DSG transmission.

Condition: Interior is excellent condition. No cigarette burns, fade, rips, threading or stains.

Whilst driving there are no creaky noises or rattling sounds from in cabin.

Body wise, there is no rust or damage. The glossy red paint and clear coat is 100% intact without a fault in sight.

Wheels have some scuff marks from the previous owner. This has been considered into the price.

Headlight lenses have recently been restored to new condition for optimum seeing distance at night (see photos).

I urge you to view this vehicle in bright light and during the day to judge its condition for yourself.

Contact: 0432 0400 10

Vehicle is located in North Strathfield, New South Wales

Call or SMS any time if you would like to organise an inspection and test drive.

Strictly: No time wasters, free test drives, jet pilots or large groups of young people.

Vehicle to be released once funds have cleared.

I will decline any test drive or inspection if I feel you are not a genuine buyer.

Vehicle has been advertised on other enthusiast websites and car clubs.

Thank you for your interest :)

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
