NOTES

I hope I didn’t leave anything out. The car has been brought up to date, runs perfect, body exterior is in amazing condition. Interior is immaculate. I don’t want to dyno the vehicle but I would say its approx. 330HP and about the same in Torque – very fast and clean – Mechanics say it can keep up with Porsche’s (non-turbod ones that is), haven’t tried. I baby this car, usually shift at 2000rpm, let the car cool down after every drive 5-10minutes.






Thanks for your help,

Nick

Sounds high priced, how many KM since turbo/clutch replacement

Banks16

a little over a 1000km for both.

Price is high...maintenance list is on par with the mileage.

What km's were the major services at? at 175k, you're 25k or about a year away from your next timing belt/water pump replacement.

As you can see, servicing the car isn't cheap and 175k isn't low mileage. They're tough cars (mine is a stg 3 with over 300k on it).

Transmission mounts don't seem to be done yet, nor are the o2 sensor...they will go. ALL of your front control arms will need replacing soon and they're not cheap. ($375 US + install)

I don't intend to scare you away from the car...I still have mine and it's been 8 years. They are costly to maintain though and anyone that says otherwise is delusional. I do all my own maintenace and mods btw. If you are planning on modifying the car, your costs will go up exponentially.

Any questions, don't hesitate to PM me. K04S4 (member on this board) also knows a heap of stuff about these cars and is an overall good guy.
