Ok just wanting to know if im paying an alright amount for car, its a end of 94 ts magna exec sedan with the v6 manual, about 155000k's on the clock and stock as a rock, paint is silver green and is in decent nic (few scratches but thats all really) interior is supurb, has 12mnths rego and JUST had a new muffler fitted (standard) the asking price was $4500 but hopefully he will go to $4250 its a great car to drive ect but yeah just wanting to know is this good, is an A.C.T car if that makes any difference lol. the only other thig is it has roof racks and tow bar but they mean didly squat for me cause there comming off asap.

knock it down to 4k$ or less, without seeing the car we can't really help but asking price is always an optimistic geuss.

its a bit over priced for the amount of K's that its done but if your sure that the car as been looked after well and its not been thrashed it might be a safe buy you can use car point as a measuring stick

1995 MITSUBISHI MAGNA TS EXECUTIVE
156,000 kms. MANUAL. RARE 5 SPD MANUAL.
Australian Capital Territory -$4,999

from a car yard but from a private seller you should get it at a better price

yeah i know non thrashed, the owners dad lives 2 doors down and has been a family car, drives so smooth (took a 4cyl for a drive and it almost made me cry with the difference, but it had been thrashed)

$4k or less.

This is not overpriced at all for the low km's

The average Magna of this age would be well over 200k by now.

Provided it has been well cared for and is in good condition, I would happily pay this amount for the car.

ok these are some mixed replies, the guy has said he'll go no lower then 4400 but we'll see about that, i have 4250 as a max unless i sell the other car OR my dad spots me some cash, if anyone can tell me of a car thats as good or better for about same price please link me, im looking but well the more the merrier ey :)

When does the rego on the car end? You can usually use that as a bargaining tool. Unless it's got 12months, don't mention it. LOL

EDIT: As I thought you put it in there, just read now.

try 4,400. But most on carsales in similar nick go for about 3,500 / 4,000

i said 4250 (with a fixed exhaust and rego check) and he came back saying 4400 so now im looking to find cars similar or better for same price or cheaper to haggle with :)

i bought my 93 TR at 91,000 kms in excellent condition in and out for $4200...
i'd pay $3500 tops..unless its basically new, with all service records.

it has the service records and is in pretty top nic, but yeah still a bit unsure, if someone has a car thats similar for sale (or you know someone on here who does) let me know :D:D:D

if you think its worth the price, and importantly, the person selling seems legitimate...then buy it. If they've looked after the car its worth spending the extra cash.

:sook: damn i hate being indesisive, i like the car and was gonna buy it, then looked around and price seemed on high side..... lets see if i can negotiate ey :)

It is a little steep and at that mileage the timing belt should have been changed, did he do it??

If it hasnt been done its a bit of a time bomb.

The longer it takes to sell the lower the price he'll accept......if no-one buys it.:)

timing belt has been done im pretty sure, i heard of this problem and asked but yeah cant member answer now lol. he hasnt made a major atempt at selling the car (he placed it forsale on the database at my dads work) so dont think much intrest, the major pro of it is that it has 12 months rego, i cant find any car that wouldnt cost same or more if you place the extra rego on it. but i may not be looking hard enough lol.

for 4k you could buy a KS ;) i got one for sale

ooh details details please :) any pics ect???

alright looks like im going ahead with gettin the car, sold my celica so money is all good, :pray: please be a good idea please be a good idea

check all the basic stuff oils etc, you can tell if a cars been looked after - make sure the trans/manORauto works well to

... auto??? its manual

Hmmm, this one may be better but have to go see it in a day or two, tell me what you think, oh and does anyone know what the major advantages of a dealer car are???

hmm apart from a warranty not much...
they sell higher, they tend to be dodgy and the cars have problems alot of the times...in general i'd just buy private unless you've had someone look at the car and given it the all clear.

A warranty if applicable, and guarantee the car doesn't belong to someone who is not in a position to sell it.(you can do this yourself, anyway)
In other words in your price bracket they offer nothing, so remember that when negotiating a price

Alright i got the non dealer car :D and i am in love with her as expected. drives so nice it puts my old car to so much shame, anyways time to get some more moola and then some mods :)

Congrats and welcome to the world of moding a 2nd gen.
