| ^ Maybe true if you mean Mike specifically (no offense intended towards Mike), but I wouldn't hesitate to tell someone to keep looking if I could tell they weren't interested in maintaining the car to the level that I had kept it. A few questions at the outset helps to screen the enthusiasts from those who have no idea or interest in the car itself and who just want something to thrash or rice up. |

| Hi James- yes, that's me. Checked them out this morning. He's had them for 18 months or so approximately; definitely time that they are put to use. |

| Well, we'll have to wait for him to relist them a few times until he accepts that he has to try at a lower price. |

| Just an update on these. The seller has been made aware that a large contingent of NZ Soarer owners know that he did not bring these into NZ himself, and did not pay $1,100 for them. His relisted auction still states the same however, and despite stating on the phone and in recent comments that he is not desperate to sell, he has since dropped the reserve. Nice enough guy but had he been up front and honest from the beginning, these headers would have sold by now. |

| $900 is reasonable. They were $600 USD when I got them, that is currently $850 NZD. Plus I had $100 shipping + $25 paypal fees USD = $175 NZD, so all up they are currently worth $1025. I ended up paying $1005 or where abouts at the time |
