ing-schu@online.no Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Here's the deal; this beautiful 1995 2,5 5-speed with only one grandpa owner plus the dealer boss and 120000 km's is tempting. It has alcantara heated seats, no towing attachment, no engine heater, no cd stereo, fugly wheels. Retract mirrors. Possibly a trip computer... Looks very clean, though I've not seen it yet. Some stonechips but hardly any doordings according to the seller. Complete dealer maintenance history. My current 2000 2,5 auto with 138000 km's has heated leather seats, classy headunit, towing attachment, engine heater, known maintenance history, runs strong, lots of doordings. The 5-speeds are very rare here, maybe one out of 20 cars which of course is extremely rare in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 You can upgrade all of that stuff, except the towing, it should never tow anything like a slave. But the chance to own a 5-spd xedos...I would do it...or better yet, own both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ing-schu@online.no Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Keeping both is no option. Here it is, the 5-speed: [attachmentid=670] [attachmentid=671] [attachmentid=672] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 xedos, I would do both, but if that is not an option. I would get the 5-spd, then transfer over things like wheels or anything eles you want before you sell your other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazdaMomma Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 did you notice that the steering wheel was on the proper side of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 did you notice that the steering wheel was on the proper side of the car? Why wouldn't it be on the proper side here in Norway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazdaMomma Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't know, was just expecting to see the steering wheel on the other side of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 In England the steering wheel is in an aquard position, while the rest of Europe is LHD like your cars. See? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troutman Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Courtesy of The British Toilet Association come: The Loo of the Year Awards! They've even incorporated the Attendant of the Year Awards, "for the cleaning staff who look after each facility – the unsung heroes and heroines."

MazdaMomma Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hey X! What is the status of the deal? You gonna get the 5 speed or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I am going to ask my cousin to check it out for me, and will look at it myself in mid july. A friend of mine spoke to a dealer employee, he claimed my tranny can be swapped without problem, to a 5-speed. Pure bolt on mod. Obviously the CPU would have to be changed. I don't know...
