Thats not a rebel, it has no decals and the rebels had 18's, but none the less it still is a series III, and manual with under 100thou, not to badly priced depending on the overall condition off the vehicle??.

Overpriced I say, for that money you'd want at least 3 of the options that were avaliable on it. For $19,990 I'd want it to have premo sound, leather and either a sunroof or premo brakes.

Pazza that silver one that has just gone up for sale looks like a real good find. Good klms, good looks, good options, has the 220 engine, already has wheels and exhaust and it is at the right price. If that all checks out I say go for it if it is what you are after, I know I would if I was still looking.

There's a white one on here for $23,500 but it is also an auto. For a manual in the SIII AU XR8 you will pay about 2-3k more than what an auto is.

With a V8, you don't need a manual. It has enough torque that the auto is actually fun to drive.

i would have thought thats a pretty reasonable price. It looks pretty clean to me. My mates manual eb takes of so much harder than my auto 220 if had the money i would put a manual in mine in an instant.

if that link is the right one it looks like a good buy. if u look at all the pics it shows that it has leather seats, sunroof and what looks like the premium sound head unit. it just doesnt have the momo steering wheel. would be well worth a trip to look at it.

it will have premium sound written on the top of the head unit above the cd slot. if u pop the boot it should also have an 8inch sub mounted in the middle of the parcel shelf and an amp on the rhs of the boot behind the carpet.

I've got the same car only in an auto, very happy with it, looks good when its clean (Monsoon Blue is a real ***** of a colour to clean, shows every chip scratch and swirl)

Cheers

Rebel or not, it is mechanically the same car anyway. You can source the Rebel rims elsewhere anyhow.

Quite a few options there. I've left the rest of the comments in the other thread you had going with the comparo (not that it was really one in the Fairmont V XR).

Interesting it doesn't have the MOMO stuff - the only thing really missing from the options list.

Chop off $1-2k off that and that'll be a good buy.

From what I know Rebel kits were on fitted on the last of the series 2 cars as a prelude (insight) to the series 3. The rebel kit was therefore standard on the series 3.
