[jb2815]

*** Found one, updated in the last post ***


The Galant's on the way to its happy new owner, so I'm after a replacement.

I'm after a facelift Legnum VR4 Type-S in black, white, or silver.
Little to no modifications to keep costs down,
Less than 150,000km,
Some sort of service history,

Will pay upto $7,000 for what I'm after, and am able to buy from next week onwards.

I know what's on trademe, I'm just wondering if anyone has one they are thinking of getting rid of.

i have a Black 2000 Manual Facelift available,its not for sale but it is at the right price if you know what i mean

[jb2815]

Sounds perfect mate What are some details about it, and what price sounds right to you..

[jb2815]

Also, I'm feeling like a change and leaning towards tiptronic over manual but I'll see what crops up

[bradc]

I'm not sure if $7k is right for a manual facelift! Assuming a car is in good condition it should be more like $10k, especially if it is black.

[VR4WGN]

hence if the price is rite Brad... Tiptronic?? you guna change your mind again dude?? Personally your Funds of $7k will Highly ,be unlikely to sit you in a Facelift VR4 Regardless i think,expecially a type s letalone.....

[jb2815]

Not fussed too much about colour, I like white a lot, silver too, want a change from trigger mauve but not disregarding anything.

Tiptronic is fine, I feel like a change. I did see a post not so long ago from someone in wellington region who got something similar for $5xxx.

I'll keep looking around..

[VR4WGN]

Yeah I was looking at that one too, however with any luck I'm flying up to Auckland tomorrow to pick up a 98 facelift type-s in indigo blue colour for under my budget! Hope its not a ****ter..

[jb2815]

Right, I'm now the owner of a 98 Facelift type-s indigo blue Legnum.
Flew up to Auckland and drove it back down yesterday.
Bought for under budget so I've got a bit of cash left to fix a few things up and see if I can find a few second hand bits (woodgrain sunglasses holder with carbon fibre dash wtf). Car came complete with no less than 7 ambi pur refreshners on just about every vent, lets say it was a "floral" ride to the gas station...

Nice one! Looks good, hope it all goes well for you

[mattnz]

Massive change from trigger mauve, lol.

[jb2815]

Nice one! Looks good, hope it all goes well for you

Cheers, yeah the guy I brought it off had all the oil seals changed wracking up a $871 job as well as 2 new tyres done the day after the results of an AA check came out, so I'm greatful for that.
I drove back 530km with the red AYC light on so it's going into the shop tomorrow morning.

Haha yeah not really. Well at least my daughter doesn't call it the "purple car" anymore, its the "blue car that looks black".

Funnily enough, I get the "purply car that looks black" description!

Looks nice, Nick Mann will be on to pass on his congrats too, I imagine!


And I'm still chuckling at the air freshener quantities!

Glad some stuff got sorted before you got it - and hope the AYC is an easy fix.

Given the amount of air fresheners found, I'd say they probably have never heard of "AYC" and "fluid"... As Nev says, hope it all gets sorted (with a fluid change hopefully).

Out of interest, how many km's has it done? More pics too please

[jb2815]

OK, had it serviced at the local dealership, they gave it a good going over. I got the brake rotors machined and the front brake pads replaced. They topped up the AYC fluid and erased the fault code (it was fault code 82 presents retaining to pump failure). That seemed to have done the trick though because the AYC is working now.

When I first bought it, the front tyres were over inflated by 10psi compared to the back, would that and a combination of worn brakes be the cause the AYC light to stay on with that error? Doesn't matter now, thankfully nothing needed replacing.

Heres a couple more pictures.. engine needs a bit of a clean, Oh and it had done exactly 140,004 km when I picked it up.

That isn't the stock steering wheel! That is one from a car with leather.
