[swarf.]

alright guys, i really didn't want to do this but i'm only allowed to have three cars at once so this one got the short straw

1980 Suzuki Stockman

800CC engine
head has apparently been rebuilt, no receipts but it does run very nicely

full respray done about ten years ago
little bits of rust showing up now but still very presentable

interior has all been redone
16 inch sunraysias
extended shackles


bad points -

the car temp gauge reads that it runs hot,
have cleaned out thermostat and it's not faulty, just the gauge is off.
points need replacing
could do with a service


and that's about it really! has been a very nice reliable car, i've been dailying it for two months or so.
gets thumbs up/beeps/waves everywhere i go, can park it anywhere. ridiculously good on fuel.


here are the pics





















will come with three months rego.

i'm asking $5500 for it and would like it gone this week, feel free to PM me or text me on 0402 1717 55, texting is your best bet as i work 9 till 5 and then from home as well.

thanks,
declan.

exhaust gasket needs replacing (getting done on thursday)
carby could do with retune for low rpm, tends to flood (getting looked at thursday)

and i believe he's got the correct lenses from japan land.

[Polar_Bear]

so tempting, but so little room here for anything

[DarkHorse]

Yup. Worth it just for the body.




If I could.

yes i bought it recently and i would be keeping it if i was allowed to have four cars but unfortunately i'm not.
the side lenses are still 6 - 7 weeks away as i have them coming in a big order of stuff.

temperature gauge is faulty, car itself runs at perfect temp

it doesn't take up much room! i have parked it in some very tight places haha.




didn't get around to giving it a tune up or fixing the exhaust gasket this week as i've been working on my skyline,
will do it this week or let it go cheaper if someone doesn't mind doing it themselves

[shep]

Pm sent. Also do you have the original rims and shackles?

[shep]

If you want to sell this to me then it will have to be available for an inspection during the day. It will also have to be this week or I proberbly won't have the time to come and get it.

I have the cash ready to go but i wont pay top dollar or a rusty wreck so inspection must be in daylight, A bit of effort on your side will go a long way.

[swarf.]

I'm going to Thailand in three weeks and would like this to be gone before I go.

open to reasonable offers!

i think Shep is keen!!

[shep]

Was keen but not after it was inspected. If it ran ok I might have bought it but wasn't prepared to take the risk.

the car runs perfectly fine, albeit a little spluttery under heavy acceleration at low rpm (which gus pointed out might be the points)
i daily drive it 350 - 500km a week and have never had a single issue with it, i appreciate that you're not interested in the car but there's no need to scare off potentially interested when you didn't even see the car yourself.

thanks,
declan.

I was answering shandy92, my intention isn't to hurt your sale. For me to buy this car it would cost me $1500 extra to get it home, if you had of accepted my first offer it would have been mine however the price you gave me made it not cost effective for me to buy it. Shame that you are now asking what I offered you, I would reconsider the car but it shits me dealing with people that can't be fucked responding when I go to the effort of typing out a message.

fair enough mate,

swarf- it helps if your 100% honest when selling a car, lay down the good and bad that way everyone knows what they are looking at. Your time isnt wasted and neither would the buyer. wish you all the best of luck

buyers, please ignore everything in the above few posts.
