Reply With QuoteWhat do you guys think of this car?
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

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

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!

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?
