Do you have to organise the compliance yourself?
ost compliances require returning it to Factory spec. Exhaust, Wheels, Anything modified, back to stock. Also sometimes have to add in child restraint points, seatbelts)if they no good) $13,500 is not a bad price A grading of 3.5 is average within the import scene for imports. Best to ge

Hi, It looks like a good one at that price. As well as what Shane said, also get the other half of the exhaust done, matched to the left side. These cars look so much better with dual exhausts!!

Thanks for the reply's guys, i have been in contact with the guy that has it for sale and he is getting it complianced, so hopefully i won't have any problems.
I have been looking for a manual for quite some time, from my eyes it looks neat, but i'm no expert. The car arrives this week so he should be getting it complianced. I don't actually get to pick the car up for a few more weeks, they are going to drag out too.....
Thanks for your help people, any other little things to look out for would be great.
Thanks Anthony

I haven't seen much about it yet. I will be having a very good check over the car before i purchase. This is why i'm asking for a few little hints at what to look for. Thanks for the help guys. Anthony

WOW !
that looks like a pretty awesome buy mate, i wouldnt be too worried about the KMs, once it gets over here they do a massive service on it anyways for compliance.
Now all you gotta do is start lining up some TT wheels, Air box, Suspension, Exhaust and whatever else isnt stock so you can change em over before compliance people get their dirty hands on em.

I have been in contact with the guy i am buying it off and he is getting it complied, so i don't have to worry about the stock parts he has all that sorted. all i have to do is pay for the thing really
I can't wait to get behind the wheel of this soarer, i've always had a soft spot for them, especially when they are manual!!!!

It is a bit pricey in the way the guy will make about 3-4 grand off it.
It looks smicko as but you can not buy cars from pics. You need to get in there and check it out.
I am sure you will know what to look out for but as long as the turbos are ok, the power steering is fine, all the little electrical nitty gritty things are fine then it will be worth it.
But i wouldnt be buying it if it needs another cents spent on it (as in you need to get the turbos done or need to get your gear box done).
And also dont always believe what is written down. I reckon you will be lucky to get through a year with the turbos (being that they are stock ct12a's)
