I'd give that a thorough check (service books/logs and all that stuff) and take it out on a test drive and see how it feels. :)

Maybe take someone with you that knows RAs very well too~

Is that cause the price seems to low or any other particular reason?

Tbh the price is pretty reasonable.

It's best to know as much as you can about the car before purchasing is all. :)

its been tuned by Adam aka Beeble.....The owner must know the car very well and be very fussy about maintaing it if he got Adam to tune it


The car was tuned in good hands i can vouch for that...and the owner seems to know the car

Those wheels look odd... Like their tyres are stretched. And they look like they stick out, which is illegal.

Seems like a nice car though.

Comes with 'lap times' apparently :P

Thanks for the response guys..yes I have contacted Adam to see if he knows anything about the condition of the car. Owing an evo previously I have only heard good things about Adam's tunes. Do he work for RTR?

Was thinking of getting RTR to do a full pre-purchase inspection.

@ Scott - Thanks for the offer mate. If I dont end up getting the car and source one from NSW i'll definitely ask for your help.

Ta!

That's some sick plates on that one haha.

Looks familiar though.. I'm just taking a wild guess but there's a user called ProjectD here.. that might be his.

Yeah that's the one! Hehe nailed it. :D

The best thing is you can get a Sydney-sider to have a look with you if you're willing to go up there since they know that car. Good luck!

Thanks Erin...

But does anyone know if this car has been treated well or it's history so to speak.
