Postby Reen2.0 » Mon Mar 26, 2007 10:48 pm

Hi All,

Unfortunately the time has come to part with my pride and joy :cry:
She is genuinely in excellent condition and very well looked after.
If anyone knows of anyone who may be interested please point them this direction.

Both of Mustangs questions are valid - if indeed it is a facelift then it would be a GX with the 177BHP engine and sports package (Which it appears more likely to be) - I haven't actually seen a 98+ GR - they are mostly GXs. Its also not clear from the photos of your car as it appears to have been debadged.

So is it a UK import then? My guess would be this car has been previously registered in UK.

Sorry, just presumed it is a GR as it doesn't have climate control - can't find GR or GX written anywhere even on the documentation??
And yes, I imported it from the UK about 2 years ago.

:smt017 :smt104 Specs are fine thanks. 8)

Year and pics would suggest GX, If it has passanger airbag (and abs) then is GX (neither mentioned in ad). Otherwise would have to be GR with facelift bumper. Many post '97 reg cars for sale in UK (with classic style bumper) manufactured on or before '96 :? ..........

Foglight on back and "cat 1 alarm" would suggest uk import.

Both of Mustangs questions are valid

@ Reen 2.0. Don't meen to sound like an anorak just looking for clarification -detail is all when advertising on a specialist site like this! Sweet looking car, saw it carzone before it was posted here. Best of luck with the sale. :)

According to documentation the car was manufactured in Japan in April 1998.
It has ABS but only driver's airbag.

I don't doubt you, just mentioning - a handy way of checking, although I'm not convinced on how reliable it is, would be to look at the seatbelt, apparently the date of manufacture is on there somewhere.

Hi Guys,
Me again, still no luck selling my pride and joy. Not one call, a pity really as it is a genuinely a great car. Unfortunately I'm under pressure to move it as lack of car space is becoming an issue. New price:€7995
