Default Looks like I have one

Think the finance is going through for my au 5 litre.The only way I could get it for the price,I have a few grand which Ill chuck straight into the loan as I dont want to be paying it off for years and I dont really want a ew grand sitting around cos I know ill put it into the falcon straight away(priorities!)
So I probably paid a bit too much for her (7 grand)but shes done 150000ks comes with a 12 mnth warranty(probably wipe yer *** with it!) deep dish 17" rims(probably not expensive theyre csa's) and dual fuel.Soooo Hope its all good.
Are these cars pretty powerful when just stock?Theres no mods to this one(sounds quiet shhhh!)
Plans are Pacies or genies/2 and a half twin with performance cats,Looks pretty low but Ill chuck ssls with short shocks on soon(Im a glutton for punishment)Rip the bloody towball off and maybe rip the mudflaps off while im at it.
Bigger throttle body and one of those WIKKID looking manifolds from btp!That should do the trick,nice and mild but powerful!
What do you think?Oh and maybe ute series grille/maybe.

Jesus, have prices taken a dive recently? I paid $8500 for my stock as a rock AU3 wagon with 156,000km on the ODO only 10 months ago and it was considered a decent price at the time.

Good purchase.

Did you get your deposit back? Was it private or a dealer?

What a low thing to do!!!!

Maybe it wasn't meant to be huh?

That would be mine and yes its all genuine very tidy,and it drives like new,Im very surprised it hasn't been snapped up by one of the AU boys on this site to be honest.

Ive had numerous calls about it and a few lookers,but know one has flashed the cash????????????

when I bought it,it was for sale for about 12hrs (was advertised friday night I bought it at 8.30am the next morning)as soon as I saw the ks it had to be mine.
Its a shame really to sell it but we are going for a territory,to do abit of family camping/ off the beatin track motoring.

Its very cheap only because im not prepared to wait for higher $$$ because every one compares your car to a BA for the same money ,We had a ba V8 GHIA and we sold it and bought the AU ghia ,BAs dont do anything for me they feel cheap and are finshed nothing like AUs........... anyway look at the link bellow.....................

I was once looking at buying vctxr6ute's car before I got mine. I can tell you all that you probably wont find a better condition car for the money. Plus, Dave is a top bloke to deal with.

If you live in the area its certainly worth looking at.
