Nice car for sure, but the offer of $30,000 had to have been a joke too, right?

Horrible wheels too!

It reminds me of the $49,995 JA for sale on Carpoint. He wants an aditional $1650 for the 17" mags. I paid $1,100 for new 17" mags and tyres that are better looking. Mike

Yes I realised after I posted it and couldn't take it back. Silly me.

On closer inspection, the car has an ordinary front skirt, a rippled rear bar, lifting rubber spoiler and yes, average looking wheels.
On top of that, it probably doesn't have an LSD together with other options available for later models.

The guy is a jerk and I hate the way the car and himself have been glorified for his attempt to sell it. Of course the $30K was a joke! He's a joke. :x
And I don't do that very often, bagging a Starion owner :?

Good find Pete!

And yes I generally concur with Mal, seriously it's a bit rough especially for the price...look at that rear bar, it has more woofs in it than a dog pound at closing time...

At least we know the real story now...I thought he might have advertised it to appease his wife or something but when he wouldn't take $30K for it???

Plonker! That is if it was a real offer...
Reduce fuel costs by 15-20% & cut emissions by 1/3rd...
Increase engine performance & prolong engine life...
How?

Nah, it had to be someone returning the joke...

God, I love my car, but If someone offered me 30k for it, I'd rip their arm off accepting the money. That's two completely mint widebodies out of Japan right there.

Yeah, if it was worth those numbers, then I'll start investing in Nigeria & start believing politicians. :)
The guy is either a 'tosser' or if someone offered that kind of money, then he's on a winner. I tend to think he's still a 'tosser'.
Still at the end of the day, its a very nice JA, so I will give him credit for that. (Only he has to like the wheels.)
