My $4000 Legnum

[bradc]

Here we go - great condition isn't it! I'm so happy, even the black leather is in perfect condition.

I was going to sell it but my Mum has fallen in love with it, so I guess she will be driving it :) I was going to use the profits from it to get her a Manual ST-R, but she loves this one :)

The leather is in perfect condition, the AYC works, there is no tapping on startup, and the wheels are lightweight forged Ralliart 17x7" :D

good buy,
you got your trans fitted to it?

[bradc]

nope - I'm going to take it down to Gary's on monday morning.

I like the wheels... nice

[bradc]

Yeah the wheels are nice, I was hoping they would be 17x8, but it looks like they may fit over Brembo's anyway, they have a lot of caliper clearance.

My facelift one has a perfectly working auto gearbox that I don't need anymore because I've converted it to a manual. I bought this car thinking I could sell it again with a new auto box in it and make a bit of money, but as I said above my mum has fallen in love with it, so she will be driving it instead of me selling it.

ok i seen that one. im sure! it was here in porirua. in a car yard.

[bradc]

yeah it was down somewhere around Wellington. It was first registered in December 2005, the auto box blew in August, and it has been sitting around doing nothing since then. The guy that I bought it off worked at a car yard and was going to put in a new auto and sell it again, but he didn't have enough time so he just decided to sell it on.

[d i c k i e s]

yup. i think i know which one. this was at umm JVP Japananese Vehicle Speacialists. i was looking at getting this, but i wanted something a lil beter.

did you pick it up? or did it get sent to you?

[d i c k i e s]

kenwood stereo? japanese writing?

[bradc]

Alpine double din, the whole front is a bit LCD, and folds down with space for CD/MP3, mini disc and a DVD for navigation. It's really nice, just needs a 10mhz Band Expander installed :)

I got it sent up for $250, which wasn't that bad imho.

[d i c k i e s]

ohh yeah thats right... i was thinkin of another one.

well at least i can i say ive been in your car.

[bradc]

when you saw it, what price was on it?

[d i c k i e s]

umm at one stage it was at $10,999 before that it was at $11,999. then i think they had a sale and i never saw it there again. but yeah those were the prices i saw on it.

[bradc]

ahh ok, when was that roughly? According to vtnz it was sold in December 2005 originally, then it changed hands in August, then again in September, both changes at 115km. Now it has done 117km and has a blown autobox.

[d i c k i e s]

yup sounds bout right. (december 05) it was still there when i brought my one back in november 05. so umm maybe just after january... i never saw it. they had moved it from its car yard up to another one that they have around the corner.

[bradc]
