So but in the past 10 years it's been wicked.
No old bombs on the road now,nothing at all but late 87-on jappa's
you do see the odd oldee but not comen.
I was looking at a R33 GTS25T 4 door the other day it was $11,995 with a
window sticker take anther $2000 off,I asked about trade in with the
C110 and the dude came back with leave your car and give us $6000nz ,
It also was 4WS,but it was a auto,if it was manual I would be doing
doughts in it right now.
Now what does that say,cars are a throw away and buy a new one now don't
bother fixing it.They are no longer a asset like the 70's.
