which EJ8

1. Silver 96' VTi 57,000 KMs. Lady driver - $9200
*Bone Stock
*Service history/Books.
*Only one owner
2. Maroon 98' VTi 160,000KMs. Lady owner - $8,990
*Lip kit, front and rear
*Second owner
*Serviced regularly(logbooks)

Just from that which one would you pick, i would go for 2. if it wasn't maroon. I'm not such a big fan of maroon, don't like the color.. Though it could grow on me, but i don't want to take the risk. I haven't inspected any yet, going on Sunday. Lets just say there are both equal mechanically. I like silver, and it has low KMs.

The only reason i might get 2. is cause of the lip kit, but then again, I should just buy a lip kit for the silver one two, but i just can't find the rear lip thats all.

silver. sounds soo dodgy tho <10,000kms a year? its pretty good if its true. lip kits arnt that expensive, id rather have a healthy engine than cosmetic mods.

silver one for sure. why would you choose the maroon one over it considering its around teh same price.

Inspect both

If the silver one is genuin k's and not wound back then its win and id go for it

if not the maroon is somewhat more appealing due to the log book

Though once again Healthy Engine>Appearance

:edit: In relation to mr crex's post in the whole year i have been driving my car i have put well OVER 100,000k's on it

i 2nd that.

silver. healthy engine, presuming its not thrashed.
could be a fully sick lady driver. lol, never know :P

and when u put a lip kit on it, you'll probablyt be able to re sell it the same price u bought depending on how many kms u add onto it. :)

bilzz I average <5000km a year on the monaro... and its all logged.
if it's a 2nd car that doesnt get driven often then <10,000km is easily maintained

I would go with 1, lower k's, only owner. You can always get a kit yourself. I reckon its worth the extra 220, which is a bargain considering the milage difference.

Ah they both have log books. Guess so, i think I'll go for silver, i was going to get it in the first place, just wasn't to sure though. Yeah I'll have to inspect both to make my mind up. Though i just feel like going to go and see the silver one with my mechanic and making my mind up from there and see how it goes so (not inspecting the maroon one), that should be good ay lol. anyways again thanks for the opinions appreciate it

Also, I've emailed her and had a talk to her, she doesn't sound fully sick, she is, i assume, of mature age. Lol,. (silver one)

1 for shizzle..

sweeet


and whos the bloke on the computer right next to me @ uni comp labs on ozhonda :P

Silver One.

1. wayyyyyy lower kms
2. 1 owner - Lady Owner (assuming shes old and doesnt thrash it)
3. Check both log books and see how often both cars have been serviced and if majors are done for healthy engine

Yup will do, minds made up, Silver.

Kerb Weight (kg) 1054
Gross Vehicle Mass (kg) 1575

the silver sounds better.
but get them checked out properly...stateroads do good inspections.

save up later for a lip kit.
it really shouldnt sway your decision that much.
you dont want to buy a dud car that's going to trouble you later...

lady owner/driver shouldn't be a selling point i reckon
from the 'lady owner' cars i've seen, they're poorly maintained and driven just as hard as any bloke would

just make sure to check it out and double check it mwaku, consult with people who actually have an ej8 too to make sure you're actually buying what's listed
we all know what happened last time when you rushed things

Yea i know, I've been looking for a car for ages now, this time I'm bringing my mechanic, to see if anything is chat. But i guess i should be ok now, what kinda of suprises will i get this time, since im bringing my mechanic. And I'll just check the vtec solenoid to check if its vti :P

1500kg is really heavy.. i don't think so..

better yet, check engine number against the rego papers to make sure nothing dodgeys going on + revs check :P

also make sure D16Y8 is stamped on the engine rather than D16Y4 non vtec cause not all EJ's come with the Y8. Dont just go off the EJ8 plate cause apparently some people here claim that their EJ8 comes with the D16Y4

Ohh serious? Didn't know that. thanks

yeah if the cars good, i'll do the revs check on the night :)

thanks guys.

or you could buy mine of me.. rofl... maroons not that bad a colour.. under certain lights it cums up nice.
