deleted_user_1622 And he's been looking since August last year for a car. Does not bode well for my quest.
DCW242 captain_anchovy;99671 wroteThere used to be a 262 C up here but havent seen it in over 10 years. Any more details on this? what colour was it?
deleted_user_160 Hasn't been hunting overly well. There has been almost 6 for sale since the start of the year. 4 were in Vic
Spac I wouldn't panic based on the ageif that one ad: who knows what he wants, what he expects to pay and how willing he is to travel. There's been at least six cheap ones come up that I've seen in the last few months, plus probably a few better ones that I've missed. Two of those six are for sale again now (shame that the new owner has jacked up the price - it appears his transport costs have been added to the price, when he's actually taken the better car much further from me...).
deleted_user_160 That and/or buying shitters like a few locals do, then clean them up and Jack the price X a million.
Spac Not tarted up, just moved away from the two largest cities, making them part of an awkward package deal and increasing the price...
egads I talked to him back when the ad was new and he was patiently waiting for the "right" 2 door, light on rust and complete but can need some mechanical tlc.
