Seller's Comment
I could of driven it back it's that good.
It'd make it.
Well actually, it has.
I was tempted to linger longer in '98, but Max wanted his ship back.
Things were a lot simpler back then.
Pre social media, pre internet virtually, pre mobile phone insanity, pre 911, pre GFC, pre President Trump, pre covid, pre Ukraine.
Things were made a lot better back then, built to last 25yrs or more, not 25mths like now..... that's just one month out of warranty isn't it? what a coincidence.
Here is a fine example of build quality.
113ks, runs like a dream.
Wind up windows work, of course they do.
Hardly a computer to be found anywhere.
Ice cold air con, just had major service, all fluids and oils, tyres are good, they're the newest part on car, that's not hard, it's probably older than the person that buys it.
Maybe not, maybe it's the strong scent of nostalgia that charms you into revisiting the past, remembering fun times, arguably better times to live than now and all the innocent love you had for life back then.
Come jump in this time capsule and enjoy a simple life with a reliable car with heaps of rego and nothing to spend on it.
Or go for the 24mth build quality, see which one lasts the longest.
Comes with current roadworthy certificate, 15mths warranty with 15mths roadside assistance available and rego til 12th July 2026
