Hi,
I'm new to this forum and would like to share what I've got.
A few weeks back I picked up a '96 VR6. Previous owner took good care of it. This thing has been serviced every 15k km (according to the log book).
This is my first car.
The paint was in excellent condition and I fell in love with it. Two of the tires were just replaced (by previous owner) and the other two are in very good nick. Cruise control doesn't work, but not fussed. Rear windscreen wiper jet is missing it's directional cap and shoots a jet of water straight out the back (like in James Bond movies? haha).
The interior was tidy and the roof (interior) looks brand new.
A/C works superbly and heating is a sauna. I love how much tech is packed into a car this age, I'm surprised!
This area it's quite common to get damage so leaving ample space is a must, plus I was in a hurry.
Things that came up after owning it.
Rear window would mysteriously be open at random. I tried opening it. Wouldn't go back up. It would seem to drop the window. For a few weeks I would every now and then close it manually by hand. This was an issue and a bit awkward.
Having only just bought the car I needed to fix this myself. Decided a plank of wood to hold up the window would be the way to go.
hey, it worked, and that's what mattered! Winter is coming so won't need to open the window anyway.
Next up, replace the stereo with something more modern. Yes, it has the stock stereo still in there!
