Mine weighed in at WSID at 1650kg less than qtr tank and me not in it. So that sounds right. Mine would be 1730kg with me in it and another say 40Kg of fuel could get me up to 1770kg in the AUII fairmont wagon.

My Wagon weighs about the 1650kg with little fuel and definently without me in it.

The rego papers says that my 2000 Fairlane weighs 1500kgs! So I'm sticking with that _2:

(over 1500kg cost way more!)

Oh yeah. Forgot that lol.

I didn't think of weight reduction when I went to WSID that day. The spare tyre and two bags of junk etc were in the car too.
