LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Yep... Long story short, I've had a change in circumstances, the car is still in Auckland, and I can't really justify nice things right now... or this year... maybe not next year either. Seeking to get what I paid for it $4000, and I'm firm on that. It's not running great, but very likely to simply be a combination of a vacuum leak, and the distributors needing replaced IMO. Other treasures include boot not locking, front passenger window not working, front wheel bearings being shot, at least one tie rod needing replaced, and the key sucking to use in the drivers door are all that spring to mind presently. It's not perfect, but, it's certified, and a lot of car for the money, huge potential for someone to turn this into something very cool, I'd planned manualisation amongst other things, but I'm having to sell off a few toys to get out of a bind, fun times.

LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted August 28, 2017 Me too, I've only driven about 100km in it, I'm facing facts, looking at what assets I'm not using and don't need, and given this thing is still at the other end of the country, it's up the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2421 Report post Posted October 14, 2017 damnit, i shouldve checked the forum a couple of weeks ago and got this instead of the MX5. If its still around in a month or so i'd be keen, but looks like youre probably going to be rid of it by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timythenerd 24 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 A friend just showed this to me and oh boy, does this car ticks so many boxes for me. If you're willing to do a trade I have a tidy, up-spec '99 Mitsubishi Diamante (probably worth ~$3k) here in Chch. Just got it two brand new tires and a WOF. I happily trade that + say $500 your way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 After owning a few Mitsi, I’m not convinced I want another, especially a V6 one? It is a relatively tempting offer though, PM me more details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 I’m talking about what’s ideal, what I’d accept has more latitude, if it’s impractical, if has to be economical, if it’s practical, I can accept a little extra fuel burn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
