Hey Guys
I'm new here, actually i don't have a aristo yet but am going to look at one today.
Been a car and motorbike lover since i could walk, my old man is a toyota technicial and thus for the love of toyota's
Previous cars, AW11 supercharged mr2, and currently a r33 skyline gtst.
Bikes, 1972 cb250 cafe racer, 2009 yamaha xvs650
Located in the wetherill park nsw area.
Any advice on these aristo would be great. Also the aristo i'm looking at later has a bad drivers side power windows and electric seat, are these easily fixed or parts easily found?
Cheers Simon

heya simon, most of the guys doing part outs around will have new cogs/motors for the seat which is the usual problem. also the window is a super common problem i belive, but should be able to be fixed with some contact cleaner??

gl with the car Very Happy

Hey Bro! Welcome to the forums!

You'll find all the stuff you could ever want on for Aristo here! Just try a simple search with the 'Search' button on the right hand side Smile

Parts are much easier to get than you'd expect!

Just hit a bloke called 'Aristoman' up he should have the replacement seat and window item you need with out a doubt. At a good price, with fast shipping if required.

I'm pretty sure all of his customers can vouch for him!

Hey guys
Thanks for the heads up and warm welcome, Well i looked at the car and it wasn't a gem so to speak. Front bar just hanging on by a thread, drivers door looked liked it got jimmied, internally engine looks like its been neglected (alot of oil sludge under the cap and in the spout), carpet was stained in 10 different colours, dash dials don't work and 100 000km not completed and car is sitting on 110 000km. In this case i'm gonna pass on this one.
Going to have a look at a 1995 sliver one at Nagoya Motors down in Carringbah, hopefully that one is in better nick but down side it doesn't have a sunroof, but prefer a overall better car than having a sunroof.

you won't find better examples than the FS section on this forum. most of them have been well taken care of by enthusiasts and it's worth the extra dollars to get the car shipped to you.

and welcome to the forum!! Very Happy
