1k? not sure.. When I bought mine, I paid $1700 with 2 months rego left and full tank of fuel. (1996 model)
Since then I've spent 204 on rego, transfer fee of $62 and rest on fuel...
153km when I bought, 157k (could be 158, forget..) now totally hassle free
Filled up today, 6.2L/100km and btw, the 6.3 tank involved using lots of AC - Mostly mixed driving.. distance/town doesn't really change consumption lol.
Only downside to mine, is slightly rusty (surface only), window sil and boot and no power steering. (810kg car... don't really need it lol)
