Hi Guys,
Currently driving a 94' U13 LX that I've had for 5 years and its been great reliable car which i would have to sell to get an Attesa. I have been reading all the info i can get my hands on for the U13 Attesa (mainly forums) to get an idea of what i would be in for if i was going to upgrade.
There are two cars i have my eye one;
1. First one is local to ACT and dirt cheap (appealing but worrying...) but i really don't want an auto,
details are at the link, but briefly:
1991 Attesa Auto, 115,000km, front mount, 17's, $6,000
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.private_vehicle?vehicle_id=2946072¤t_rec=18&used_rec=21&total_rec=33&sort_type=&total_rec=33&sort_type=&make_id=5&model_id=82. The second is in Sydney and is a much preferred manual,
details at the link below but briefly:
1991 Attesa 5sp manual, 102,589km, looks pretty stock, $9,900

Both of these cars have been on the market for while (4-5 months), is this pretty normal for these cars, i figured beings as a manual is so rare it would be snapped up, which made me cautious... Anyone know how the VIN numbers vary between the local and the import versions? thinking the manual one could be a bit dodge...?
Living in Canberra, i don't know what type of support the local market would have, also I'm new to the scene so i don't have a good network / contacts to source parts, which seems to be how you guys get around the shortage... Could you help me out with any good contacts ?
Any help would be great!
Cheers!
