Just bought a second D3

[Steve223]

Hello Together,

Sold the Subaru and bought a second D3 for around Town :D

D3 HSE TDV 2005 I think with e-diff and 160k on the clock but full service history.....

so more question will be coming soon....

[~Rich~]

How much did you pay for it?

[TerryO]

Excellent news Steve. ...looking forward to seeing pictures of it alongside your other D3.

cheers,
Terry

[Steve223]

paid 31k 55965

[Ashes]

Nice. Should be reasonably comfortable as a daily driver:)

[sniegy]

At least you know what your up against. ;-)

Nice looking vehicle.

Cheers

yes quite nice to have all the HSE extras :-) and drives quite well, will not be mooding it beside LLAMS and a remap. My "old" one, beside all the gear but chipped, still feels more responsive.

will need new tires tomorrow as I'm driving on slicks think gor for another set of AT3 coopers.

[DoctorJ]

D3's are so good one just isn't enough lol

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers

That's what they all say initially....:wasntme:

[Steve223]

hm the HSE has a e-diff which my S does not have so maybe....


No No No the pin strips I have in my S I don't want in this one, even thinking about buying road tires lol

Body swap? :arms:

They buff out. They do promise !

I did a trip in the VHC over Christmas and even I was a little shocked when I finished at the state of the cars exterior, pretty marked up. My Wife was less than impressed.

But once at home with a wash and 1.5 hr with some Turtle swirl and scratch (I think was the product) and a buufer on the drill and even my wife thought it looked like new.

There are still one or two deeper scratched but all the smaller marks GONE !

Now I know you are happy to challenge the S but just think how jealous the HSE will be if she (I assume she is a she) only ever allowed to wear ballet slippers and a tutu when she really want work boots and overalls every now and then !!!

Hopefully the new one gives you years of trouble free motoring and a little extra luxury !

[Steve223]

thanks George will need to give the polish a go as that scratches do hurt every day I seem them. The HSE just got a tutu in form of Coppers H/T Plus 265/50/1856000 and hey a bit of jealousy does not harm the girl

I thought all D3/4's were male. At least that's what the FAQ's say!

Are you sure this one hasn't been castrated?

[Steve223]

Maybe should read the FAQ's ;-)

Heading of to Deua NP tomorrow and it crossed my mind to take HSE
But I will refrain without any of the goodies on it

[SuperMono]

Hmm.... I wonder if I can convince my wife that the price of a HSE D3 has now dropped to the point when it makes economic sense to buy one as a daily drive...

Then I can build up a Sunday car..... hang on, I am already using that excuse for the White Whale D3 TDV6S..... OK a Saturday and more comfortable tow vehicle, with benefit of access height just for her....

I'll give it a shot!

[Steve223]

just had a service done by Peter Davis (except transmission oil and sump and the belts) and he had a good look at "shiny" and it seems like the car is very well maintained and was a good purchase :D.

still have to fix a couple of small things but then we are happy campers :-)
