Hi guys,

Looking to sell my Sierra which I have owned for the last 6 months to
try out 4x4ing. Have decided I'm going to go back to a Corolla.

The car is an SJ80 coil-sprung suspension Sierra with a series 3 16-valve
Vitara motor (which is engineered in the ACT.) The suspension is all
Standard height with pedders shocks and springs. The interior is in
Very reasonable condition with only cosmetic imperfections. The body is rust
Free
(99.9%) with some small cosmetic scratches and dents. It drives very
Well and has never broken down on me and still has lots of go left to give.
The Chassis has 191,000km and the engine has 102,000km since being
Reconditoned by a mechanic. I have receipts for the engine installation.

When I bought the sierra, it featured a pair of strong Rhino roof racks, a set
Of good spot lights mounted on a TJM alloy bull bar and a set of four Vitara
Or Jimny rims
with cooper 205 ATR's which now have around 50-70% tread
Left to give. Since buying it, I have upgraded the stereo to a really nice
Sounding install with rear kicker 6x9's, front Sony 6" splits and a 1000W
Cadence 4-channel amplifier. Also, I have installed a GME UHF radio. I have
Ordered a set of extractors to put on the car also.

There should not be any problems getting the car through rego in the ACT.
And if an agreement is made, I can supply the buyer with an ACT
Roadworthy certificate.

I am looking for $6,200 for the Sierra. Serious offers are certainly welcomed.
Can remove roof racks, and/or amplifier and rear speakers to reduce price.
Please arrange an inspection with me by calling 0424240649. Vince.

Interstate buyers please call first if you would like more pictures.

Interior pictures have arrived! The drivers side carpet has 2 holes, one about 5cm the other about 3cm. The floor mats come with the car, so they'll always be covered anyway. The rear carpets aren't in after I discovered my spare oil leaked on them; They have been degreased and are still in great condition with no stains or holes etc. The rear seats are also in excellent condition. Extractors just arrived in the mail. They are a set of eBay specials, but are an improvement on the standard manifold. They will be fitted up with a new manifold gasket in the next week or two. Might I mention the car still has 1 month ACT registration.

I will be raising the price and advertising on CarSales in about 2 weeks if the car hasn't sold, as I have been working on the car and replacing parts to make sure it's ready for rego inspection.

Hi everyone, I installed the extractors on Tuesday with a brand new Suzuki manifold gasket and new manifold studs/nuts. The join to the rest of the exhaust was done at the exhaust shop. I haven't travelled far on a fresh tank of juice, but it seems like it's using considerably less fuel, runs a lot smoother through the revs and is also pulling very nicely in the middle of the RPM range right through to the top end. I will put a picture up later on.
