Love to hear what you guys think of this 1999 Bora (V5 2.3 1J)
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsa...lectedUsedCars
Ideally i'd like a v6 4motion but in Adelaide there are only two for sale that I can find:
One is a 2003 2.8 4Motion 73,000Km and cost $27,000
The other is a 2002 2.8 4Motion 130,000Km Sport and cost $20,000
In light of these being the only two around, a 1999 v5 for $14,000 seems reasonable. (The 130,000km's on the $20k one seems a bit high)
I'm going down to check it out tomorrow, any tips for things I should look out for?
From what I can tell these older v5's have the following differences to the new v6 4motions:
- cut out head rest
- no 4wd
- no stability control (not sure what this is)
- 110kw (vs 125kw for a v5 4Motion and 150kw for the v6 4motion)
- no sun roof
- i think the leather is different on the old Bora's
- air conditioning control in bad spot (or air conditioning doesn't work very well)
- cup holders flimsy?
- different alloy wheels, still 16" but not as nice looking on the old bora
Is there any other features i'm going to be missing out on by getting an old v5 vs a newer v6 4motion?
(For some background, i'm not really a fast driver so speed is not a huge issue, although i would *like* the v6)
