Peta

Nice looking car
May be just the pic or my lod eyes but Looking at pic 2 there is some serious stretch on the tyres shod on the Rota Grids...
According to wheel tyre specs in ad Wheels 17x7, Tyres 215/45/r17, or are these factory spec ?

It also looks reasonable unmodified.

I haven't inspected the car yet. I called them last week and due to work wasnt able to get there in time but they have been chasing me hard! to come down and check it out. the chick I spoke to spat the dummy last Friday because she kept on trying to get me to commit a time etc to see it.

said someone else was keen so I said just sell it then.. cbf factor kicked in hard.. but last night they dropped the price on it.. I have an offer in my mind of what I want to spend and what I get out of it..

But just wanted to see if anyone recognised it or had owned it previously.. I know they would have taken it in and probably paid f'all for it on trade so yeah.. if the deal swings my way and EOFY sales/desperation kicks in then will see.

the kms are good but I want to check out accident damage and the seals in panels etc..

Tell them what you're prepared to pay, if they don't like it, walk out. Plenty of nice cars on the market. There's an 02 sti on scumtree with 50000 something ks on the clock going for 22. Buyers market, good luck.

yeah that's pretty much my intent. if it doesn't suit me, I'm happy to walk away.

also can you remove the brant keypad imobi? or does that have to stay?

Brant is easy to remove. Had mine removed by Evo R and replaced with Autowatch keypad for $250
