Saw one at a dealer off Parramatta Road. When driving to Uni, I noticed it was an early model VR6 cos of all the textured parts. Stopped by after I finished Uni, and found out it was a colour concept! The 6-spoke BBS wheels and the red and black leather interior gave it away easy. Another feature was that some of the plastics on the dash were woodgrain?? Was this a factory option?
The cost was advertised at $8999, which sounds decent. Car was looking good, except for some bonnet and grille stone chips. Paint looked really good too - think it's in Flash Red, so it was very eye-catching and bright in the sun. However, a lot of swirl marks. Looks stock as a rock too. Engine bay was clean. Only downside was that it has already clocked 190000km. Had a 10 CD stacker at the back and still had its factory floor mats, though they were in rough condition. Of course, couldn't take it for a test drive, and I didn't ask for the salesman to start the car up.
On the topic of car salesman, this guy was alright actually! I told him that I wasn't looking to buy, was only curious as I'm a VW watercooled enthusiast, but he was still keen to talk to me. Of course, he didn't know much about the car except that the P.O. used to live in Eastern Sydney. Oh, and it came with full logbooks, and was "regularly serviced". Though the word "regularly" is largely questionable.
Whoever's looking for a Mk3 VR6 should definitely have a look at this one!
