UNR33L Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Still have some test driving to do once I sell my car, some guy meant to be coming around tonight to view my car for the 2nd time so we'll see. I like the Focus RS + scoobies, Audi S3, Merc too but too much $$ Scrap that, guy messaged me and said he wants a car that hasn't been modified at all (my car just has an exhaust & tint basically..) back to square one again So out of 5 guys I've had look, 4 said too modified yet it's all stated in the ad with pictures.

Apparently this model sold out super quickly in europe. who da thunk. 0-100 in 5.9secs claimed. for that kind of money you could get AMG45.

Leroy Peterson Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think they sold 50 of them in Aus, so it's not like nobody wanted them... Theres a Honda S660 in NSW for sale. $33k. A little bit more and you can get an Abarth 124. Turbo 1.6L convertible without mid engine hassles. Obviously not as cool and less Street cred Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/790/#findComment-7849749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you know the seller is a tool: they are offering numberplates 695-500 for $5k extra, when selling the car without would render them worthless. Don't know why people think rare suddenly means valuable. Rare + desirable makes valuable. It would be a fun car but only some Fiat mad rich guy would see value in that...and who knows...there may be one out there, like there is with Alfa Romeo nutjobs.

Leroy Peterson Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 But even non sporty fiat 500's are selling for $50k. It's crazy. I just don't get it. They're tall, which takes away the appeal of a hot hatch, so it just becomes retro AWD small car. Whatevs. I'd have one. So I could sell it.

They're tall, which takes away the appeal of a hot hatch, so it just becomes retro AWD small car. Whatevs. I'd have one. So I could sell it. European version of kei cars? I think Volkswagen dominate the hot hatch market because they got the formula right: reasonably priced, practical, small, decent looking, quick. Power is missing from a lot of so called hot hatches or flagship/sport model small cars. The AMG A45 is more popular than it should be in this segment because it's one of the quickest. Hyundai Veloster, Astra SRi, Toyota 86, MX5 are all fun cars to drive except in a straight line. There is enough price gap that if they came with a decent bit of grunt they would walk all over the Europeans. I mean, how hard would it have been for Toyota to put a turbo 2.0 in the 86 and who wouldn't pay a 6-7k premium for it when there was/is 8k difference between base and GTS models anyway?

MX5 roadster has great looks but 124 looks bigger and classier in pics.
