A lot of anti-profit people out here as well when it comes to buying goods and services, you can see this all the time on those facebook groups, even if and when you can show proof they're getting a better deal. They'll always piss and moan if it's a small biz or an individual that needs to make a small profit on something, but they don't seem to care when it's a major corporation ripping them off. The potential future of Australians is really worrying.

That’s right. Advertised for nearly 3 weeks. Tells me that someone complaining now probably didn’t have the funds at the time, or they were waiting for a desperate low-price sale, and didn’t count on an honest guy coming along with the cash to buy it at a fair price. It’s a shame that maladjusted individuals try to stomp on someone with such passion & creativity. I’ve enjoyed all of Sean’s videos so far, and I’ll keep watching this series too. I have a soft spot for niche models, especially Aussie ones. That’s what got me onto Peter Anderson’s channel. He was doing the XC GXL. A car I liked as a kid because my uncle had one in the 80s. I’ve watched every one of Peter’s videos since. It’s not just the car - it’s the person, their willingness to do stuff, and the evolution of the project that I admire.

Sean you are doing a good thing saving this car. Enjoy fixing it and hopefully at the end you will get a very good car that can be daily driven. For what is worth, I have been actively looking at Magnas as a channel project. They are more for interest, curiosity and love given parts cost, labour and desirability, especially the specific combinations I am looking for. All of them are quite rare now and rare doesn't equal desirable for any of them, the last one I saw for sale had an "accident", as insurance paid more than they would ever have got for the car (similar story to the manual 1992 Nissan Serena SR20 on the channel).

Keep doing what you're doing mate, it's refreshing seeing content that delves deep in the history of the australian car industry on here because most other content creators either are from overseas and don't understand the impact these cars had on our industry, or are covering cars that were imported (although I don't mind some Mighty Car Mods from time to time). Magnas and mistubishi in general cop a hard review normally from other fan bases, but the 6G74 is a killer engine when treated right. I have one in my 99 NL Pajero and whilst its not super powerful and gets me bullied by mates (in good faith) that own Landcruisers and Patrols, it runs smooth and quiet at idle, barks when I give it some revs and is suprisingly economical considering the size of the car it's pushing around. A true workhorse of an engine, and was even chucked in the Pajero Evolution to win the Dakar Rally.

My first car in 98 was a TN Elite Magna soi still have a soft spot for Magnas other than the last generation and 380s I'm in a position now where I own my Mercedes outright and casually looking for a VSII Calais or a EL Fairmont Ghia as a fun weekend drive... Why can't people just appreciate Aussie cars of all brand...Can't believe there is an angry bunch of Magna owners lol..You clearly aren't in it for profit and as a regular watcher I'm interested in how the Ralliart goes..

Lol. In cars for the money, that’ll be the day…. It’s a Magna and it will be worth what a buyer is prepared to pay no more no less. All cars go on the market for what the owner thinks it worth, usually much higher than what a buyer wants to pay. Most people let emotions dictate the price of their cars for sale. At the end of the day you’ll get what your willing to take and the buyer is willing to part with. I’m looking forward to see what you do with the Magna. Always enjoy your posts.

Not sure why you need to justify yourself, you provide us with entertainment. Don't like it don't watch. I am a Ford guy, but have owned many other makes because car people appreciate cars!! A major point here is that you are saving a limited number build of our local motoring history, a car who's future would have otherwise been doubtfull. I've always been keen to know what these cars are like, but we can't afford to buy them all, but thanks to Tubers like Sean we get close to experience what it's like, for that we thank you Sean.

That guy was just a troll. Never let assholes like him bother you. Nobody can please all the people all the time. I’m a Holden guy, never owned or liked Fords. I was initially attracted to your channel because you helped HubNut with his AU, so I thought you were a good guy.

If you rescued a kid from a house fire the same Troll would say you did it for self gratification. These are the people that spend half of their lives trolling the net and the other half burning ants with a magnifying glass. No use responding to them, it is just like talking to a brick wall.

I have always said I am a ford man however I have a soft spot for magnas! I agree 100% with you about the "ugly shape"! Personally, I think the VRX front bumper looks better then the Ralliart too.

Im a ford guy.... i bought a magna around the same time (sadly not a ralliart or a vrx they're called diamantes here so my specs more equivalent to a verada) but ive absolutely fallen in love with it ooodles of torque quite economical (especially when compared to what ford and holden were offering in the late 90s with their antiquated powerplants) just a good all round car and if im honest? Not a bad looking one.... id take a magna over a vt anyday and if the old crossflow 4 litre wasnt so darn good? Id take a magna over an au ❤️

My first was an XE Falcon with 3-3 and four speed. After that, an '85 Mitsubishi Colt sedan with the 1-6 and four speed followed by a TP Magna with 2-6 carby and five speed manual. I have this weird love of the challenge of driving underpowered manual cars, particularly in hilly areas. You're forced to be involved and alert as a driver. I presently have this '79 Mazda 323 RWD five door hatch in red with this awful caramel brown interior:- a 1-4 four speed.......slower than a fully laden Kenworth in reverse, but fun to navigate around, and reliable. To all you bored corpses out there punting around in powerful, air conditioned automatics, you're missing out on something. Try to keep awake as you drive..... Grab a car like the ones I've had. They'll bring you back to life. The noise they make is intoxicating. 🤪🤠👍

Don't let the haters get to you. I love my falcons, I am aiming to buy a BA/BF falcon and to be a daily driving project and hopefully keep it for a long while but I am a qualified mechanic working for a Mitsubishi, I am a ford person at heart but to buy a brand new car, I'd go for a brand I worked with, I have experience with fords, subaru, kia, hyundai and now Mitsubishi. Cars are expensive, especially to be a project, I have a mortgage and can't afford a project car especially with my wedding in 4 months and house to pay off. Stay true to what you choose to do. I wouldn't have cared if you went for a Holden, a car is a car, fun to work on and even more fun to maintain and not abuse.

Surprised you didn't mention you had also bought the Calais? That would also add credence to the fact you don't only buy Fords. I too am a Ford guy, but also own a Holden... I have always sought particular models that I really like... bit like your Magna really 🙂 PS, I didn't realise you had tried to offload the AU. MotoringBox without the AU would be unthinkable to me, as it was that car which got me into your channel. All the best with the Magna btw. That is the coolest shape and model in my opinion too

My mate is a mad Ford fan, absolutely loves them. He just bought a Honda Accord, I remarked that I was surprised as he is a Ford fan and he said, "variety is the spice of life," I replied, "touche." Makes sense.

You don't need to justify yourself to Facebook keyboard warriors, you have always come across as a genuine car enthusiast, I love my Fords but have owned and own and appreciate other brands. We love your channel and content. Your production of exceptional quality video's reveals your talents and enthusiasm and I'm sure they help and are inspiring many like minded viewers. Some people are jealous of your successful channel and seem to only want to drag you down to their mediocre level.

I watched your goodbye and hello video and the advert when it came out around about the same time I needed to go out and buy a car and with COVID cars are so expensive I was looking at Civics, Corollas, etc...at the time I didn't even considering an Australian car. After your video Aussie cars are cheap, reliable, easy to repair and parts easy to get...So I went out and bought one to get me through the COVID car price increase. So ignore those people everyone has a reason for buying a car and if they don't like it well it's their problem!
