Looks good, John. What was the final price? I was surprised to see that the colour was "original" though. In one shot it looks purple and in others it looks like the later model colour Rose Quartz.

It was amusing to see that the sale was "regretable" [sic] (regrettable). I think the seller meant "regretful"

In the front on shot in shadow it might look purple but the colour is consistent in the other shots.In the end in a 15 year old car ,whether or not the paint is original is irrelevant, so long as it is good and it appears to be good.

gawd i love that car... he was asking 10400 so im guessing 10K even ?

anyways, looks nice and hope it works out well for you mate. Can always rely on a good long drive to find all the potential gremlins lurking (not trying to jinx you !)

great buy !

A mate of mine was looking at this car, looks like you beat him to the punch.

Looks in good condition.

Congratulations John, I didn't think you would be able to stay away from Soarer's for ever!

That looks like another beautiful specimen.

I'm still enjoying the white V8 you sold me almost two years ago now.

Congratulations again

No mechanical problems on the way home,plenty of power and good on fuel.It has 6000k HIDS, but the drivers headlight has a heap of water in it, so need to do something about that.
Dont know whether to get the oem headlights repaired at the headlight hospital ( about $350 ) or go in the group buy for new aftermarket ones.
