Yep I have bought my last 2 cars from ebay. If your in brissy go and see the car before you bid on it but I agree its just like buying it out of the paper. 2000 is a lot for an ea. I bought my stationwagon with extra seats and all the spare parts for 2100 and I paid too much! If you go see the car and still like it make him an offer. But if you do that ask him to change the amount on ebay and still buy it through ebay as then you have some protection if the car is a lemon.

That EA looks very clean and would be worth the money if you were to "keep it" as an EA. Think about buying an EA for $800? Its probably fkd. Dinted body, dirty interior... Sometimes that little bit extra gets you a cleaner car. The problem is people want something for nothing.

I reckon it would be a good buy.., lots of things already fixed on it.

Considering that it is an EA(light) and 5spd with XR6 3.45 diff ratio, it would probably run the quarter mile in about 15.5sec and 0-100 in about 7.5sec.....

Have a look where the ignition coil is, up near the strut tower............
