| Very regretful sale of my partner's Active Soarer. It has 306,000kms on the clock but runs extremely well despite this. Mechanically, the car is very sound and reliable. The engine was recently fully serviced (cam seals, main crank seal, timing belt, tensioners, idler bearings, distributor caps and rotors etc). All the active systems are in very good condition and are running perfectly. The suspension oil has been inspected and changed regularly and I will also supply the extremely rare active suspension solenoid seal kit (it's just a bunch of o-rings but notoriously hard to source). EMV works perfectly and it has a tiny dvd player in the glovebox which can be used to play CDs, movies or whatever you want on the EMV's TV mode. CD stacker works fine too. The problems: - Cracked windscreen (hail) - Paint is in poor condition, see photos - Driver's side rear quarter has damage from an impact - Driver's door has dents and scratches - Some hail damage on the roof and bonnet - AC has a small leak under the dash and the mixer valve isn't working properly either I bought the car with the intention of fixing it up but we just used it as a daily driver instead... obviously actives handle superbly and this one is no exception. I was driving a friend's mx5 recently and it feels heavier and boatier than the active. Comes with a huge number of spare parts (random things like fuel pump, airbox, suspension oil, etc) and also good condition body panels: straight bonnet, driver's side door, boot(?) and a full rear quarter cut. (Pickup Gawler). Would suit a mechanically minded buyer who can easily fix up the panels and paint without much effort - that was my plan. Priced at $2000, can be registered. Located in Burnside, SA. Pics in next post. |

| http://imgur.com/a/mSHN3 There's the album link. If you look closely you'll be able to see that the car's paint is just completely wrecked. The left hand side of the car could actually be polished up to look beautiful, but the front bar and RHS are bad. Please don't hesitate to ask for more photos or specific information. I'd like to sell pretty quickly as I'm preparing to move interstate.} |

| Correct, number 738. I got it from an SC member a few years ago. Secretly I wish someone could turn this into an awesome track car |

| Lowering the price to $1000 if someone can commit this weekend. I'm moving to Victoria on Monday and would hate to send the car to the wreckers |

| Here's a brief video of EMV working w/ Radio going just for fun... damn the radio sounds good for a 25 year old car... makes me want to find some way of storing the car so i can fix it later https://youtu.be/lHSujJIKdSg |

| Apologies for the radio silence! I spent last week getting settled into the new apartment and started work this week. Work threw me a huge curveball and put me in an office that is 87 bloody km away... 1.5hr commute... if I leave at 6am. On the plus side, it's at the Ford test track facility so it's super interesting... boat engineering ;) Anyway, the soarer is still for sale and I'll be back on the 27th to the 30th to deal with it. |

| Sorry again for the delays... working crazy hours. Please PM me if you're genuinely interested or want my phone number to have a chat about the car. It's still for sale and it's still in SA. If I keep the same position at Ford I'll probably want to keep the soarer and just run it into the ground as a commuter car... it's a comfy car for freeway driving! |

| Yep I've still got it. No reversing camera sorry. Spare panels are in Gawler, car is in Burnside. I can get the parts in the same place if need be, but it'll be a bit of work. |
