But I definitely would not go saying UK cars are rust buckets . GLWSDoes look classic in yellow yellow ?

sloth lots of jap imports are rusty crap, as theyre now being sourced from mountain areas with snow and salt as supplies dry up. the days of cheap sub 60km mint imports are gone. now its all 200km rust buickets unless super lucky

They’re still out there, maybe it’s cause I don’t look at "mountain areas"

They’re still out there, maybe it’s cause I don’t look at "mountain areas"your obv lucky, or overpaying for cars. i work with a few big import companies here and in the uk, most are telling me the same thing. theyre struggling for good stock. theres only a finite supply of 80s and 90s cars.
Laurie Also be wary of "well washed" vehicles from the recent floods in NSW & OLD. A lot of these cars tend to be sold interstate. They might not be write-offs, just cleand out. Check the post code of the car's registration. Or even better if you can get a sellers address look it up on google earth for near by creeks, rivers etc. A neighbour bought a low km Ford Explorer with no panel damage for $1500 from NSW flooded area. He thought it was a good buy, until it was left in the sun on a very hot day and then it ponged like something large was dead in it. The neighbour sold it during cold weather but it smelled like dunny blocks.
