NSW 850 turbo

I think the main point everyone misses here is that it is a rare car in Oz, the body is a big expense to fix on a crappy cheaper one and interior on these is not available new anymore and existing plastics are brittle , getting a great cosmetic example is paramount.

Mechanicals are a cost but if needed , once fixed its 20 years of use added on. The fact its one owner and in such good condition would seal it for me.

Agree with snoopy, you want a 850R then you buy one, you will wait forever trying to find the percect car, meanwhile they are getting harder to find and more expensive.

Also I wouldn't ever trust what the dash says on any 850, until you have read the combi module then km are a guess.

I still stand by what I wrote, I paid 5k for a 300k black 2 owner 854 t5r about 3yrs ago, as I said I'm all for high prices on rare car's but 10k is too much, I wouldn't pay it but each to their own, we'll agree to disagree ?

Cosmetics is far more important than a high km motor. One owner, full history... Heck he probably has original purchase receipts... Just coz he's asking 10k dun mean that's the final price. My wagon was advertised at 10k I paid 6500

But having a look on car sales the front bumper and bonnet are in poor condition.

Only 4 pictures of a 10k car, no close ups, no interior, no engine bay.

That does not look the best when you zoom in

There's plenty of the interior engine bay and exterior.

An 850R in white is a good thing.

$10K, regardless of service history and in need of some bodywork is more than I'd pay.

Its not stingy old ovlov owners buying though......

I probably wouldn't may more than 6. But I also wouldn't buy an auto..

Well right there you cut it down to 5% of whats out there.....or so.......

Thats the kicker. These days it can be a better idea to find the right car and convert it if you're insistent on having a manual.

Think of it as finding a good starting point in current market prices, then if you really like the 850R that you've always lusted after, you'll restore it.

Its either your passion or your business.

If it's your passion you'll restore it at your pace and financial ability and enjoy the process.

Fossil makes sense ?
