I bought mine from Motivation - found them to be a good bunch of guys to deal with. My SII Stagea is the same (see photo). The car has proven to be exactly as they described it, and I have not had a spot of bother with it.

haha tru...yeah it's awesome i'm so keen to get it

they are a great bunch of guys, we sat in graham's office for about an hour talking about it and the finance etc, he even got his finance guy on the phone direct so i got to go through everything with him....very professional service!

they've got another one coming (already sold) which has the same kit on it and they're apparently going to get a mould of it while the car is being complianced, so this kit should be available in the near future

how much did u pay for yours marc2? as far as i know the price isn't too bad

[Brazen]

With series 2's prices at the moment - it seems to come down to kms, condition and features that will put them anywhere now from $20,000 to $28,000... so at $26,000 you are at the higher end... but if the kms are genuine (got complete sequentially dated service books??) and its in pefect nic with that bodykit thats an ok price - I might ave bargained it a tad cheaper - hey but if it was me and they wouldnt budge on price Id stil have been happy to pay $26,000 for that one you've got there - so dont worry about the cheaper prices going around and just get on with loving the car!... good luck with it - congrats!!

Looks good Dammit! Give me a copy of your bodykit!

[fergo308]

late model cars are going for a bit more down here in Sydney... I paid $37k for my '00 model.

that '99 looks the goods though,top find!

yeah fergo... the market is definitely different in each state... as i said in one of the other threads about the cheap series 2's going over here in WA... there's just not a strong a market over here so the prices are low to get the sales - in qld they'll be a bit higher around mid 20 thous, and in NSW the price seems to be higher again going by the dealer ads there... however - without knowing the particularls of your car - even for a low km 2000 model $37,000 seems somewhat steep (seeings even a private sale 260RS can be had for mid to high 30s)... but hey - as i said a few posts above - if it was worth it to you then thats all that matters and u just move on with owning and loving it!

You should actually describe it as a "1998 Series 2 Stagea" - as disticnt from just a 1998 one (which could be a series 1). :-)

Looks very nice, did you look at the manual one they have there?

Same mileage as yours, including bodykit but some 8 mths ago when SII were still a little on the scarce side. I paid just a tad more than $26,000.

I've seen that bodykit on yahoo auctions for series 1 and series 2, i think they're reasonably cheap too for a full kit, not sure how much freight would be though

[Techo]

Hey Tim, Thats the one I'm Buying!!!!!! Just waiiting on the finance to come through with jason.

Looks very nice, did you look at the manual one they have there?

I took the manual & the white on for a test drive last wed. The manual has a slipping clutch, minor rust spots around the doors, a small clunck in the back end when you take off, & the back seat rests are loose, you can wobble them about 20cm! overall it was just not as nice as that white one.

[timmmay]

Techno - are you the guy from toowoomba they were talking about? lol looks like i've got some competition

I did look at the manual but didn't take it for a drive coz I wasn't really interested...my partner doesn't have a manual licence anyway so she didn't want it.

I'm waiting to hear back from Jason too...did you put a deposit on the car at all?

Make sure YOU are happy the KM's are genuine

Full kit is 48,000yen

Would be approx $1400-1500 delivered thru Slidewize imports

[timmmay]

I was suss on the k's but this car drives perfectly, I couldn't fault anything with it so I'd rather go on my gut feeling..

That is all you can do

Just check the normal wear and tear spots to try and verify K's
