RS Manual Wagons - rare?

[sir_camel]

Thanks all! Yea I realise it's Yellow antiplastix! Had 1500km of driving it yesterday back from Adelaide so gave me enough time to work that one out...

Big thanks to forum member code618 who I purchased it from. Great guy to deal with.

The plan at this stage is to keep it relatively stock. Only things I am considering at this stage are some wheels and maybe a Stage 1 tune. It's a great example and was perfect on the drive home. Cruised very easily on the open road. Only has 46,000km (was 44,500 when I picked it up 2 days ago) and is in near perfect condition. Some new tyres this week and all will be sorted for the short term.

Oh well, you wont lose it in the car park, Camel. I had a yellow LJ Torana in the 80s.

How about some eibach springs to lower the stance??
Going cheap from them in sydney at the moment.... I paid $380 for the set.

That is really low kms!!! wow!!
I have had mine for not quite 5 months and have 20,000kms already...
Yours is hardly run in!

Great find indeed

woohooo....u found one, and a yellow one at that!!
nice color - not that i'm being biased

there's a yellow one just like that in my area, i c often - still turns heads.

I had more comments with this car than any other one I've owned. It's the only car where I have had multiple people come up and ask what it's like to drive and say they like the look and colour.
Certainly low kms (I actually sold a Trek road bicycle with 28,000km on it and that was only 18 months old!)

It is great to see our forum working so well...even for the buying and selling of cars to one another!!

Man that's a great deal. I paid similar money for a 2008 pre-FL RS sedan just 4 months ago. I would have bought that wagon in a heartbeat.

... Wonder what I can get for a trade... HID's and tow pack, yes please. :O

So got my new set of ContiSposrtContact5's on today and feel's great in the quick drive to work I had. Wheels are filthy though with all the tyre fitting goop etc. 10km into my drive the low pressure indicator came on. I went to the closest servo and all tyres were at 37-39psi. I tried to match them up to 36psi and reset the sensor. Hoping I don't have a flat tyre when I get to my car after work tonight.

It ll do that every time after new tyres, the sensors are still working off the rolling diameter of the old tyres.

Thanks mate. Figured it probably freaked them out a bit.
