The exact car I used to dream about

I saw this exact car first when I was about 14, I'd be on my way to my mates house and used to see the car quite frequently. The car was barely driven and always stayed in the same parking spot in the street.
One day it disappeared until I realised the owner must have moved up the road, I wasn't sure if it was the same car.. it was still black and couldn't imagine there'd be more than one SVX in the Bondi area.

This is what it looks like today.









I slipped a note in the owners window about over a month ago with my phone number and asking what he plans to do with the car because it would be handy for parts, I wasn't expecting a response, but he called saying, "Yes, my car is for sale if you want it, it's in immaculate condition, it's like brand new and it's only travelled 130,000kms". The thing that scared me about this guy is how serious he sounded about the "immaculate condition" of his car, I really thought he was making a joke. I just said "ok" instead of arguing that his car was pretty much.. not a car anymore. I haven't bothered speaking to him again but I probably should since he mentioned his rego runs out next month and the car has to go.

What a shame, this car used to be a perfect example.

Immaculate is not a word I would choose.
More like Violated, or Emaciated. Maybe just Gay.
That things been tagged almost everywhere possible.

Re: The exact car I used to dream about

I'll slip another note in his window telling him to call me again because I lost his phone number. Keep you posted.

What price do you think we should talk about here???????

Re: The exact car I used to dream about

That looks like one of the cars that were imported for the Subaru Australian, Company Executives. They came with the optional BBS wheels.

In it's current condition it would be worth about $3k or maybe less.

Re: The exact car I used to dream about

Well, if that one's immaculate I would be pretty reluctant to buy a car that he described as "poor condition".
