    thanks mate, think i paid too much??? mind you , it has no wear on the interior at all, not even a scratch on the sill panels, and the paint doesn't even have a stone chip....hmmm just wondering as i see a few for about $16,000, but auto and no leather...

    You only paid too much if you don'y absolutely love it!

    As for the leather, once you start driving it properly you will notice how little grip your backside gets on it

    In the UK imports must be 10 years old or more, and a good one with low mileage and history will cost around £4000.

    Oh, and welcome to the club.

    It is a high price, but if you want a manual with leather then it will cost you a bit more than usual.

    Fred, full membership is well worth the cost, These guys have all the goods when it comes to Legnums. As for the price, well if you buy from a dealer you will pay dealer prices, it's just a fact of life. As long as your happy who gives a crap?

    Welcome to club mate. I'm sure you will enjoy the car and your time here. That
    2 year warranty is a real bonus and worth paying a little over the odd's for.
    See you on OZVR4 also

    i had that problem with my old supra. full leather interior. never again. just to add to the problems, nice hot sunny day, jump in the car wearing short sleeves and you burn your arms. on a cold day you freeze. i dont see the attraction with leather

    Scanny - I agree with you, it is also very slippery when you are going around corners.

    It does look nice though and girls like a black leather interior
