Notice the badly fitting glovebox lid? Turns out it was warped. Previous owner must've tried to stuff too much in there at some stage. Went to the wreckers today and found a straight replacement. $77 - all fixed! :)

Yeah I preferred the ivory over the black. Would stay a little cooler in summer too. ;)

Got yourself a bargain there by the looks of it. There seem to be a few bargains around lately. I paid top dollar for mine a few months back, mind you it had the lowest kms for it's model and it is in mint condition. But I could've saved myself $5000 plus if I was more patient. Like you I bought mine interstate sight unseen, however I flew down to collect, as I REALLY wanted to enjoy driving her home. Enjoy :D

Good onya Tan!

Queensland to Melbouurne was a bit far for me to drive though. I was quite happy to pay the $500 to transport it to Melbourne via truck.

Firstly welcome, good looking ride... that interior!

I'm just curious as i was looking at buying a bargain (not a lib) a little while back from QLD, when a mate mentioned to me about flood damage from the big wet they had up there. Might be worth a look now, as the potential for long term damage could be a real pain. Don't mean to worry you, but it might be worth checking out while your still under the cooling off/dealer warranty period.

Hope i'm way off track, for your sake 8)

Geez Bosco I never thought of that. I'm 99% sure there was no flood damage as I think I would've noticed something by now, but just in case, what are some telltale signs??

Thanks for the link. After reading it I'm even more confident the car has no history of flood damage. Another win! :)

Ivory interior! 8) Like the silver highlights on the foglight surrounds also.
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

Thanks Corsair. Yep the 3.0R has the different bumper and the ivory interior as opposed to the 3.0RB. Just upgrade the suspension to Bilsteins (as i just did) and you have the best of both worlds! :D
