Hey guys ,

a mate of a mate of mine has offered me a TR exec 4cly manual with black leather interior for $350, aparentley the cluct is buggered (it still drives) and its got 6months rego on it.

If it worth it or should i just let it go, been thinking about getting a cheap run around so i can leave the sports in the shed?

Let it go, it'll cost you more than having one Magna as your lone car.

Buy it, part it. Leather alone will sell for $400 if not torn.

yeah sure mate.. my mum was a sewing machinist and she used to fix car stuff alot.. and anlong the seams is the eaiest and cheapest, as they can jus6t pull the leather tighter, and then sew it back up...

Leather looks good. To bad its a sv6 mk2 but with a 4 banger doesnt make sence? Hence the name SV6!

Oh well not bad for $250...

I wouldn't be suprised if the boot was replaced at some stage and it had SV6 stickers on it. The sv6's i have seen atleast had color coded bumpers.

I say part it. Sell the mags, spoiler and leather interior seperately (and whatever else is worth taking of the car) then sell the rest to the wreckers. Profit for sure.

Yeah?!?! SV6 did have color coded bumpers come to think of it.
however, that IS an SV6 leather interior.
I say He's picked some things up from the wreckers....
You have an executive there my friend :P

PS Dont think that leather is worth anything it's pretty much screwed

piece of **** but for 250 its worth it even if you use it as a basher and just thrash the **** out of it till it dies.

if you are in NSW and under 25, it's worth it for the 6 months of rego and CTP greenslip.

rego+ctp normally costs about $800 per year

Some respect for a tired old Magna is called for here, I find this comment offensive and I feel it should be retracted. :io: :woot:

It deserves some TLC, like a new paint job and a complete retrim of the interior. Sell it to me so I can fix the poor old mistreated thing. BMW granite silver paint and quality light grey cloth would bring it up a treat.
