V36 Issues/advice?

[MP_R33]

Hi guys,I am looking at a buying a V36 coupe.

I originally wanted an auto as the manuals are alot more expensive in the same condition. However I have come across one in VIC that is dirt cheap and I have had it inspected by my mechanic aswell who has given me the go ahead.

Before I buy it, I just want to know if there are any issues or things that are good to know about the 6 speed models. I couldn't find much info so I thought I would ask.

I haven't read any stories yet of people having problems but dig a little deeper and think a little more when making a topic title lol

I don't think there are any particular issues.. the weak synchro issue was resolved during the V35 run, so won't be an issue on the V36.

Take it for a test drive and see what you think.. the feel of the V35 6MT took a while to get used to, even for experienced manual drivers.

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear, I will be having another look over the weekend, I haven't driven it yet, only had it inspected so might be smart to actually see if I like it.

Just get the car checked out from all angles by a professional. When you say V36 coupe and Dirt Cheap it does raise some alarm bells.

Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick two.

When you say cheap, it depends on what you mean. There is a big difference between a car being sold for $5k under market for a quick sale and $20k under market because its f**d.

In regards to the boxes, haven't heard any issues. Just look after it.

In relation to title, a little more thought next time. The guys can offer a wealth of info when you ate clear and concise with your request.

All the best. Hope you find an awesome car!

It's not that cheap, its about 5-6k under market value. The guy is trading it in, showed me receipts for the new car he purchased. Everything is legit, Just wants to make a few bucks on top of the trade in value.

Well thanks for all your help guys.

How much is dirt cheap? And what model is it, a v36 S, P, SP or just base spec V36?
