BlakeyBoyR: what state are you in and how many kms you after?
i bought my auto corsair ghia (KA24E) for $4300 trade price, it was totally driveable and all but i did a major service which included all the basic things such as dropping the oil, changing the power steering shit, auto transmission fluid, air filter, blah blah blah, then i replaced some of the chrome stickers (the ones around the wheels) and all up to put it on the road it cost me about $5500, which included stamp duty but not insurance....
btw it had 145,000 kms on the clock
my sister bought a corsair for 3,500, CA20E auto and all, had it on the roads incl stamp duty and all, 4g but it had 250,000 on the clock
but yeh, as everyone has said, stay away from the magna, i got a mate with a magna, like the 93ish ones? 2.6lt, auto, LOL poor bugga... well thats what i was saying after i dropped him off the line, on the 3rd occasion.
