nopes totally not worth it, seriously u can find breeze's for 3k's, jus dnt expect it being brand spanking new, as for the motor, B18c's are like 4-5k, all up its still cheaper and faster than a SIR or by a D16 and turbo that :D :D bang for buck i tell ya

Its an OK price. Nothing beats geniune.
Its not worth doing a EG conversion. You end up wasting more money

u will not be dissappointed
the eg sir comes with all the fruit
11k is cheap i would rather the real deal than a imatation
u can buy any eg/dc2 anytime of the day in oz
but to find a eg sir is like a virgin in a brothel!!!!!!!

yeah the price is alright.. and genuine cars are the best way to go as there are no hassles of converting and worrying about any faults.. for that price you could probably find a ek4

hey buddy, want good advice? stuff private seller buying unless your buying off your mate. you say your located in victoria? for what i know when cars are first written off or come from overseas victoria is the place to go to get dirt cheap cars. if you want to spend under say 12k get a VTI-R or something like Xposed said. your in victoria, im down in sydney i would make the best of it if i was down there. cars are cheap like chips. ! gluck with buying your car =)

11k is a bit to much to ask for i say 9k to 10k depends on the condition of the car really ..

Its probably worthless, but its an EG, SiR/SiR-II so owner probably inflated it some ;) Just like VTi being priced at $8K+

dun mean to hi-jack but is it worth converting auto to manual? even if its a gen eg9?

Conversions aren't worth it generally with most cars, buy the car first time up or sell your current car then buy a manual, you'll spend less normally.
SiR-II apparently came with power options like power steering, power windows. Had Central locking and given the option of having a sunroof, LSD, TCS, ABS, airbags. These were not available for the EG6 SiR.

11k abit overpriced.
8-9k would be the price range unless its in MINT condition.

Not, its because of the importation laws (SEVS) that the EG6 isn't permitted into Australia unless its a personal import. It fails a few criterias which would otherwise allow it in, same with the EK9. Both cars have models available in Australia already, apart from engine there isn't enough difference to the government unlike the EP3 which has recently been granted approval :)
