First time I have been there it's not a bad show, my daughter loved it, was surprised people leave early though.

no probs mate:-)

The little red button is used if you need to tow the vehicle. black switch with red led next to the steering wheel might be for your rear fog light.

gearbox oil, should be a nice dark red

Do not buy anything yet make sure your 100% happy with the car till you get anything, that's a lot to pay for an auto really even though it is very low miles, this is why I think they have had the car for so long because of the price. I messaged DCY a couple of times about that car & asked them if they would budge on the price to £3500 also told them that they have had the car for sale for years, they went on to tell me that £4680 for that car is right & this is not the same car that they was selling 5 years ago lol even though I have seen this same car advertised for over 5 years.

You never know with imports if it is genuine miles, if it all feels nice & tight & the engine bay looks very tidy, interior looks like it has hardly been sat in then it should be a good one. For example this is my old glanza v auto i had, engine bay with 35000 miles, the rad looks fresh & bolts other parts on the engine look a copper colour like where the auto dip stick goes looks copper in colour. With higher mileage one's normally the rad paint has faded & the the bits on the engine go grey in colour.

Did you get this from DCY Europe in York? They had one like this with 23000 miles & just sold it, think it was up for around £4680, they have had there glanza v auto for sale for around 5yrs, it was up for £5000 at first.

Looks like it needs a new shell job that. -
Autobox ... manual conversion worth it ?

Yeah sometimes its best to pay more for a top car and with that milage it should have no problems for year's to come & they are starting to go up in value, getting rare now. I paid £2400 for mine it was up for sale for £3500 but manage to knock the price down with it needing jobs doing on it. enjoy it & take your time with what you want to do with it, normally most people tend to lower the car first mod. -

23000 miles wow very good find how much? If you don't mind me asking:-) yeah there are a lot of silver about & to be honest I'm not that into silver cars apart from these cars seem to suit it very well & they have a slight blue in the colour:-) also most colour alloys look good on a silver v. Well i have had the cambelt & water pump & service done on it new kyb shocks & yellow apex 35mm springs all fitted, enkei alloy refurbished & that's it' the I haven't got plans for it at the moment I might change the exhaust system at some point as the exhaust is standard apart -

yep nippy all right, press the pwr button which is sport mode then your away mate. Look forward to seeing some pics of it, I was on the look out for importing a very good low mileage glanza v in February, & I just mist out on the auction bid price, black v think it had something like only 54000 KM 4.5 grade it still bugs me that I didn't win it lol.Not to long after though I was lucky to find a 85000km auto v in the uk. -

mart1 replied to haggis's topic in Drivetrain & Transmission
you have overdrive button then you get 5 gears you also hav more buttons on your right side dash manu & pwr, press manu on motorways you get really good mpg.Press pwr it goes into sports mode, if you put your foot down it doesn't change till it red lines:-) you also have kick down. If you bypass the solenoid that helps to get that bit more out of it. -

Mine is auto mate standard engine nice and reliable pulls like a train -
look at the size of that fcking thing, horrid & colour.

Gun metal grey doesn't do it for me on a v, there has been one or two on here recently in that colour with white wheels, just doesn't go well too me, maybe if alloys was red then grey v might look nicer but I bet there not many alloy colours would suit a grey v:-( I'm only fond of original glanza colours, red is best.
-
Very nice, looks a lot cleaner is that boot a hand painted job or spray painted, looks better & are you going for white colour all over, them new wheels suit the car very much, I'm not a fan of big fat wheels on a glanza v, they look stupid.

Intereting find while browsing eBay
mart1 replied to patman's topic in eBay, BidJDM, Yahoo Auction Finds
I keep looking at this, shame that they are selling it after only doing 500 miles in it. What that needs is a clubman front end then you have got more room for a fmic.
