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??.

[Pazza]

kewl kewl... just didnt know... what body kit is that then?

[AUTickford]

That does look like a rebel

[Bucknaked]

Its a S3 with the 220. Weren't rebels a S2 thing?

Certainly were mate, early 2001 S2.

[RG]

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.

[RG]

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.

[Pazza]

yea but its an auto lol. if im going for a 220kw xr8, it MUST be a manual. But im thinking, if i'm gonna spend 20k on a AU y not spend a little more and buy an BA xr8 mk2 if i cna find one for a little more...

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.

LOL, no chance mate, yes they do have the torque but having both, manual is definatly more fun.

[BLACKAUXR8]

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.

[Pazza]

will be going down to have a look at this on the w/e sometime.

[TICK4D-TAS]

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.

[S3SR]

it looks like the rebel/c2r kit... it has leather, sunroof and as far as i can zoom premium sound.

i can tell you a manual falcon is fun..mines not a v8 though :(

i dont know what falcon prices are so sorry...

[Pazza]

how can you tell if it has premium sound?

[TICK4D-TAS]

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.

[XRLNT-8]

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

Simon

[Sledgehammer]

It looks like a sweet ride, always liked monsoon blue too. It got some good options too by the looks of the link.

It's a S3 XR8, that's a rebel kit, leather, premo sound, sunroof and manual, that's a pretty good price IMHO, it depends what you want though mate. The car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Yes its a rebel kit but its not a rebel, if thats what your talking about. Try talking them down abit but looks like a very nice XR with plenty of good options

[Dark Horse]

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.

[Director]

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.

Yeah true but its not going to be a rebel
