Purchasing R36 Wagon

[Pussbak]

Been looking at a white one on carsales.

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/...SSE-AD-4448591

Looks like there have been 6 owners in as little as 8 years across 3 states. Also advertised with 4 months rego when in depth RMS rego check returns as unregistered so cant test drive it. Gonna give it this one a miss. The search continues.....sigh.

this one looks nice and tidy, apart from some paint needs touch up. the driver side bolster DOES hold really well after 6 owners, lol

Yes it certainly looks the part. Does make you wonder though..
Is there a sinister reason why a car would change that many hands in a short period of time. Major underlying problems perhaps?

No. I let this one go through to the keeper.
Had too many little things that bugged me.
Black Front number plate bracket which attaches to the bumoer was missing.
Holes drilled into the tailgate for larger style number plates.
A few other missing body parts amongst others.
Dont want to go on about it incase the new owner reads this thread.
If he is i hope it treats him well, the paint looks awesome.

Fair enough.

Just FYI, many owners do the front number plate holder delete for a tidy and clean looking, shouldn't worry about that. Good luck!

Mate thanks for the well wishes.
Yeah i get the front plate holder bit i proabably would do the same its the back tailgate that would get to be every time i walk up to it.

Gave it a bath and it came up quite nice. There's a couple of pics below.

Once again thanks for your help above. Looking forward to getting stuck into a few little jobs on it.

Congratulations on the purchase. Hopefully it gives you years of driving pleasure.

Not sure what you ended up paying, however looks like you may have adjusted your target price to get the right car with the km/options.

What's the plans? Cut/polish and ceramic paint protection to remove all the fine swirls/scratches and bring back the shine? I've had a number of black cars and they're the worst for showing dirt and swirls in the paint.

Congratulations. It sounds like you've waited to find the right car. It looks good and those kms are low too.

So it has a RVC but no RNS510 - that's strange. If the RVC is a Highline version then it would be factory fitted otherwise likely to be retrofitted. Are you intending to retrofit the RNS510?
