yes with the recent talk on magna and reliability i hoped ye experts could give me a nod on whether a magna te sedan at 237 km's with a 3year warranty is a good deal? How long will the engine normally last? Seems in pretty good nick but wondering how far it will get once over the 10 year mark?

thxs for the lemon watch

Did you mean 237,000kms?

I wouldn't pay 6k for that

depends on body nic, etc... is it an auto???

"wouldnt pay 6 grand for that...." nuthins ever cheap and 3 yr warranty from a car yard wat u expect...

anywayz take it for a test drive there's plenty of magnas, if u could try get a feel for them take few different ones for a test drive... if your not in rush

depends how long your looking to own it. At 240k its gonna start to become un-reliable sooner or later, if it hasnt already started. Even if the engine itself is fine, all the auxillery stuff like alternators, and lots of stupid little things are gonna start going wrong, and if its an auto, if its still the original then it will blow up sooner or later. I wouldnt expect the motor to be too healthy beyond 300k, so you gotta ask yourself if your going to keep the car for atleast another 60 000 or not, if so, then pass on this car.

id give em 4grand tops... leaves you with some $$ to get a 3.5L second hand with bugger all ks' on the that clock.

man a TE for 4 grand.. awesome! :badgrin:

i know :cry:

the amount of work + R & D that went into this car - you could NEVER replicate it for 35G, let alone 27 :(

took it to the MVR the other day (roads authority) put it on the weight bridge, they can also do a weight balance F:R and the weight distribution is 46:54 .... no wonder she loves to oversteer lol

god bless the fuel sustem right at the back of the car lol

lol thats not normal! normally front engined cars have a frontwards weight bias

i know - but 90+ L in the boot BEHIND the rear axel + 4x 1kg fuel pumps + 9KG serge tank and all the steel reinforcing and all that - makes this car Ferrari weight bias towards the rear - steers like a dream tho - very much ligher and swift movements....

you've driven nothing like it till you drive it... if it makes sense lol
