I bought my brother an au ute on monday. He wanted an xg or xh, but theyre thin on the ground and people are asking absolute drug money for stupid high kays raging peices of crap. So the au was bought thinking it was a series 2, or thats what the seller said. The original sales docket was in the glove box, its build date is 2002 and its a series 3. So lucked out on that. Its only done 207k which isnt bad for a car of that age. Its in good nick, has a month old receipt for $1700 of seals and gaskets for the motor, and it was unreg but the seller got it roadworthied and registered, so whilst interstate rego means nothing as its needs a blue slip etc in nsw, i paid 3500 for it. Other adds for au's, again people were asking drug money for high kay buckets. But this one is a manual, and whilst manuals are an ancient art, the odd few who want them (P platers wanting to be drift kings) this thing could probably be sold for more then its purchase price.
