Hi all,

i'm about to be the owner of a silver 1991 soarer.
it's a 6 cyl TT. not entirely sure of the trim level yet, though i do know that it has TEMS.

it's in fantastic condition, looks like new inside and out. only has 73k showing on the clock. appears to be genuine km too...

only thing that's wrong is that the A/C compressor needs looking at.

i'll post some pics once i pick it up on the weekend.

i'm off to post in a few other sections now for info on a few planned mods.

Welcome Jason

If it's got TEMS, it'll be a GTT-L pr luxo-pack.

The mileage (real or imagined) is irrelevant, as it is the condition at time of purchase which REALLY matters.
You can fiddle the mileage on anything if ya wanna.

Having said that, it sounds like you've found a good one.

Welcome Jason,

Hope the car works out for you, as for the 73xxx ks genuine, no one really knows.

thanks for the welcome guys.

it's a done deal for the car.
i have a good friend that's an auto sparky by trade. he specialises in A/C stuff, so i'm all sorted in that regard.

Jason.

picked up the soarer today.
it has a few of the usual things that need fixing.

the passenger side door trim is cracked near the speaker, and the central lock motor on the passenger side does not work. (it tries to lock, but fails)

the climate control unit does not light up at night. it works, it just doesn't light up at all.

the lower display on the dash has what looks like two globes that are not working. (each end of the display is a little dim) and the cluster as a whole is a little dim during the day.

also, i think that the TEMS is stuck in hard mode.
i drove over 200km home today, and it was rock hard all the way. will have to investigate that.

the headlights are also a little on the yellow side.

apart from those things, the car ran great.

ill post some pictures in the morning.

Jason
