for sale Facelift Gunmetal 6 Speed Twin Turbo

I've owned the car for about 14 months, but now a deposit for a house is needed so sacrifices have to be made.

Would rather a fellow member had the car and went to a good home.

Info

It is an October 1996 Registered facelift RZ (non vvti) 6 speed manual with BPU mods. I bought it as a fresh import in April 2009 with a touch over 30,000km on the clock, it is now showing 40,000 but the conversion was done on import so is about 28,000 miles give or take.

I have had the car serviced 3 times in total in the 10,000 miles I have driven it. The first was a crappy standard service when I first bought the car but then afterwards I have serviced with Silkolene pro-s fully synthetic oil and I fitted some Denso IK24 plugs (all purchased from opie oils). I also changed the fan belt on purchase and had the cam belt checked which at this mileage was still absolutely fine.

It has never missed a beat and driven lovely since the day I bought it.

You are welcome to drive it ONLY if you are insured to do so. I will more than happily take you for a drive.

Known Problems

Im going to be as honest as I can.

• HKS suspension knocks from the rear, have had it inspected and no problem could be found.

• On full lock occasionally it sounds like a bush may be going/wheel arch rubbing?

• Typical slight yellowing of headlights

• Boot is a bit messy where old spoiler was (faded paint) and could do with a respray - been quoted £150-180 for this.

Comes with various receipts, documents, information sheets etc. Got a wallet full.

Also comes with both cats for MOT plus I've got a used HKS SSQV bov lying about which I bought from keron and never fitted you can have too if wanted.

Price: £9000 ono. Part ex considered but with max value of about 3k.

Car is based in North Somerset, about 7 miles outside of Bristol.

Also - pics in my garage

More pictures coming ASAP

Note: Can do the car a bit cheaper if wanted without the TE37s as I have been offered a swap + cash for some standard facelift wheels. Up to the buyer.

Oh just remembered, I replaced the clutch master cylinder 2 months ago also which I bought from a member on here. Car also comes with a spare brake master cylinder which I bought as a spare.

Note - sorry Imi but I copied to format of your ad! Hope you dont mind

Cheap like a budgie this one, glws

Facelift TT6 speed with very low miles for 9k! This shouldn't hang around... Although if it does, I may have to buy it

I think personally this has been priced a fair bit too low. Someone will pic up a right bargain here. Facelift TT6 with 28k miles for 9k!!!!???? GLWTS, will go in no time

Thats better mate.

Seriously cheap this mate, should fly out of the door! Bargain! If I hadn't just got all the bodywork done to mine, I would have had this, just for the low miles!

edit: just clocked the TRD speedo and tacho, nice addition them

Dude seriously take the pics you've put on the ad down now! then stick the Jap side pics up. Really those are awful pics you've put up there. Everything on my PC looks old/worn/damaged in those pics? You are so underselling the car with the pictures you've provided. The speel with the ad is always going to play second fiddle to the pictures.

+1.

Especially that steering wheel looks like it has been on like 200k miles or so

Will give the car a good clean and take some better photos asap.

Cheers guys

Can't see the pics in work but going by the older pics and the description it sounds like you may be under selling yourself. Certainly shouldn't hang around at any rate. I think it may be an RZ facelift though rather than an RZ-S. The RZ had Recaros & Big brakes as standard

I've just got a crappy camera to be honest. Steering wheel looks brand new and is one of the rare facelift carbon fibre ones.

Camera quality shouldn't be too much of a problem. Great photos can be take with bad cameras - it's all about framing your subject correctly.

Nice car.

Check out the VIN Plate and if it reads ALFVZ then it denotes it as an RZ-S, if the codes ALFQZ it is an RZ

This weekend is the big decision for me about heading to the states if i dont i will be calling you monday morning to arrange a viewing, if its all in order gonna drive it away:)

Checked it, found out it is an RZ and not an RZ-S.

First post updated, cheers guys!

Ok mate well let me know. Had a few offers lower than asking price. Would much rather it went to a member on here than someone off pistonheads where I seem to get silly offers (less than 7k).

More than welcome to come have a look. Let me know

They are just chancing their arm at a bargain bud. Hold out, it is worth your asking price all day long. The car has a ton of rare items on it, the right buyer will definitely be along.

Getting quite excited about this car
