You'd like the power of this car.

What do you guys think of this car (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123&viewitem=&item=320238975180)?

With the exception of the scuff on the bumper which the seller mentions, it looks like a very well kept car. Also, what are your thoughts on the price? A little high perhaps? Thanks.

it's worth every penny of that price if it's in good shape

I paid $9,200 two years ago for mine with 129,000. No mention weather the block swap was done though or did i miss it?

I want those seats! I've been looking for electric memory sports seats for ages (RHD) but they are rare as rocking horse ****. A 6 speed manual is also a rare thing, still thinking bout converting mine. Car looks nice - so nice its sold!

Lol, I may have a spare 6 spd box coming up for very little monies... if you can live with 4th occasionally crashing.

6 spd boxes are not repairable ;.; getrag wont release parts for them.

Finally got a lead on a working replacement cheap - watch this space.

Excellent handling, sporty and the comfort level

Hmm....when you say crashing what do you mean? Is the same box thats been around the ring a few times?!! How much is labour for replacing a like for like manual box (or how much have you been quoted?) Mine is an Auto so I would need all the bits for the full conversion and not just the box, a full donor car may be the only way to go. Can't an independent gearbox specialist repair it?
