Came across a leggy for sale! What do you guys think?

[Guest]

I am again thinking about buying a legnum. I came across this one and it seemed like the sort of example i am after.http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Autom...ber=D1117400254813?BackToResult=true&AdOnTop= Do you think those Recaros are factory? Same with the steering wheel (looks evo 6 to me). I like it because it is a late model and has low km's. I just think it is a little expensive for basically a stock car. I guess that comes with being at a caryard.

What do you guys think? Or should i be looking elswhere? I would rather a manual example with roof rails, but they are so hard to find in a late model. There is another in melbourne i don't mind but i would prefer not to have to deal with the travel and registration issues.

Rare combo, looks excellent, but do you really want to pay that much for an auto? You could get the EXACT combo you want for that price...

The other aspect of it all is, that if its not the car YOU want, don't buy it. I made that mistake already

Recaro's are factory, and so is the wheel (Same as EVO6)

Edit - The seats and wheel might not be factory, but they are factory VR4 parts

Yep those Recaros and momo are Factory fitted as an option.Looks like a good clean car.

Fat , id be buying that and a manual half cut.


see if you can knock a few $ off it.. id would pay 13.500 max for that. Maybe 14 coz it has recaro's !

It was actually $1k cheaper two days ago. If you search under Legnum on trading post they have the same car listed for sale privately (with the same contact number) for $1k cheaper still.

See if they're willing to budge on price.

If you look at it and decide you prefer a manual, let me know what they will take for it

 

[snickells]

Far out, 16k+ for that??? WTF?? Dude, recaros are NOT worth 3k! Its a bloody auto with nice seats, that's it.

I bought my 2002 MANUAL with teins and an exhaust for 14k from Kristian (Iron Chef) and bought the Momo steering wheel from Japan for about $200. Recaros will cost you about $1200 - $1400 delivered. So why bother with that piece of overpriced shit?

Wow

 

[qball]

It also in my opinion has a fair bit of wear on the drivers seat and wheel for a car thats done 50000km. Unless the suede fabric wares more than the red cloth as my car has 107000km and the red recaros look in better nick than that

Shannon import your own beast.

 

[OVR444]

Is it just me... or does the close up of the front left wheel have a aftermarket antenna fitted on the front bar. Yet it's not visible in ANY other pictures? wierd... :S

 

[bradc]

The Suede Recaro's are hard wearing, they should look perfect.

Could be a corner parking guide. They are pretty popular in Japan and some cars even have electric pop up ones built into the bumper.

That's even more gangsta then the folding mirrors Gotta get me one of those bad boys! hahaa..

 

[AUSVR4]

I think I've got to research a little more because I thought the seat and steering wheel looked alright. But then again my Evo seats and steering wheel in my old HH Galant work poorly...

 

[cyber_scriber]

Shannon.

It boils down to whether you need to get into a car right away or whether you can wait to import your own.

Assuming the K's are genuine (as per David's comments, the seats do appear to show a bit of wear), and if you can take a couple grand off, it's not an unreasonable ask from a car yard.

If you have time on your side and can wait to import your own, you'll easily get manual + Recaros etc for less than what the car yard are asking for. Quite a few of us have done exactly that. In my case, it was manual + Recaros + 50K's + sunroof for less than that!

Weigh up time vs convenience.

Haha I have one, and it has a green LED at the top that lights up withthe headlights. I call it my pimp stick.

 

[Rasi]

The suade Recaros are very nice and they wear very well... mine have over 100,000 kms on them and they still look brand new (with a vacuum of course).

That is a reasonable price for a car from a yard, but always try and talk them down. If they advertised it for $1k cheaper, then they should be willing to drop further.

I would go with this one for that money

http://www.ozcarimports.com/car.php?id=247&img=1

and its 90K on the clock wich sounds more realistic
PS those lights alone are worth 2k to buy second hand]
I will be jelous if you get this one

 

[AUSVR4]

Can't get access to that site - it warns me that it's a suspected Malware site?

edit: If it's the one with the kit I heard it sold a long time ago. The white on white Legnum that was advertised on there also sold ages ago - to a guy on here. From what I can gather Ozcarimports haven't been doing anything for about a year. Nothing's been updated at least
