Sorry guys, not making excuses but ive had a s**t of a day at work and if you look at it from my perspictive it did seem sarcastic. Should of probably read more than once hey!

Sorry bout that LG just thought you were saying there was something wrong with it.......

No problems... My comment wasn't having a go, I thought you might of known Falkeen, so I was just stating it, in case you haven't linked two & two together.

I don't know much but basically in short...

The car is a AU1 Futura. It has a 2nd hand Powerdyne Supercharger kit installed (AFAIK).

The car was sold to NAPARM, and Falkeen upgraded to an XR8 ute. Probably at a good time too, as the engine was on it's last legs. NAPARM spent a fair bit on it, to make it reliable. He rebuilt the engine, but soon after, he ran out of money. He did the diff in the car. I think he fixed it & then sold it. XH302 had it, and now it is for sale again.

Here are some threads:

NAPARM spent roughly $8000 on it. Nearly $5000 on the motor, not long ago. So it is fairly reliable. I can't tell whether the diff has been worked on recently. So that might need attending to.

Apart from all that. It's a very nice car. Do remember, that it is a AU1, so it doesn't have the nicer AU2/3 Interior. It also doesn't have the larger brakes, and other little goodies.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the Auto needs attending too soon.

All in all it looks to be a good buy, just be careful as it is pushing the limits of the motor & driveline. It has changed hands 3 times in the past couple of years.

So LG you seem to know a bit about would you buy it for 11K.

I would buy it. Except I would have to get the diff looked at, the transmission looked at.

When it comes down to it, it's just a AU Series 1, which can be had for about $7k or so. So $11k, isn't too bad. The fact it's recently had a rebuild is promising. I would of really wanted it to be a Series 2/3. But it practically looks like one, with all the changes.

So I would buy it, but i would spend another $3-4k on it, to bring the interior up to scratch & mechanical parts. But that's just me.

It's always a gamble you take, when you buy a forced induction car. Things might need replacing.

But the fact, that I already have a nice AU... I'm not interested.
