I bet he lied about there being an engine under the bonnet too

A used car salesman stretching the truth - who'd have thought it?

But then again, buying cars for private use is never about value or logic...if its the colour you want, has the options you want, etc, then $1k isn't heaps. There's not heaps of those cars around anyway.

Nice car too!

Back in '83 I bought a new EXA for $12225 drive away. Just over 3 years later, sold it completely stock to a Perth wholesalers for $9800. About 3 weeks later I tracked it to a Freo dealer who had it on the lot for $17500 !

Go figure?

The import duty on Jap cars changed markedly in about '85. My mum sold her 4 year old L300 for the exact same price she bought it for to a dealer.

49k or tell him to fuck off I reckon.

P.S. nice choice of car....I'm jealous!
