yer good to see another one saved, sure looks nice. Very standard by the look of it, apart from the seats of course but even has the standard steering wheel. Funny isnt it, he probably will struggle to get that much for it yet it is worth every cent. Mine has cost me 20 so far and I wouldnt even get half that for it. Still im never selling it so it is irrelevent.

Friends call me Ashgan or Ash... But you can call me failchanic. If there's a routine maintenance job that exists on a starion, then chances are i've failed at it.
I disagree Ash it's not expensive at all. you have to consider what the cost of restoration would be. The paint job alone would be 6k. If you wanted a dead original JA you would buy it and retrim the seats in leather and you would have a fantastic car. As I said mine cost me 20k, I think its worth every cent to me, I know guys who have spent in excess of 50k on track starions. Quality costs money. I understand what you are saying, its expensive for a starion yes, but not for the work done to it. It's all relative.

Can be delivered anywhere in Australia if anyones interested.
Yes, this car owes the owner 1000's of hours & 1000's of $$$$. The asking price is quite reasonable I believe.
I would buy it myself, except that each weeks lotto numbers dont match mine. lol. :)

Haha, nah i don't mean it's not worth it i just meant 9 grand is 9 grand. And to a man of my stature working a casual job with bad spending habits, that's expensive XD
(this would be perfect for me cause i'm in adelaide and am going to need to spend alot of money eventually if i resto my current starion - alas i suck at saving atm)
