I bought this car in 1998 from the second owner with about 62000 miles. It has been stored in a garage for the last 12 years and driven occasionally to keep it fresh.
The car starts right up, drives solid, clutch grabs hard, and alignment is dead straight. You can’t help but smile when you drive this thing and take it through the turns. Can be registered with historic QQ plates if you wish.
I just had it serviced, with over $2800 in work:
New Battery
New Engine computer
New Brake Pads
New Caliper Kit
New Crankshaft sensor
New Fuel Pump
New Fuel filter & relay
Injectors cleaned
Air filter replaced

New hood shocks
Replaced at 58,000 miles:
Timing Belt
Water Pump
Balance Shaft Belt
Distributor Cap
Thermostat
All Tires
Plugs, wires

Oxygen Sensor

This is a vintage vehicle and has a number of little glitches yet to be repaired. For full disclosure:

Rear hatch shocks are due for replacement.
Fog lamps need new bulbs.
Gas gauge is inconsistent when tank is full.
No Owners manual.
Hood foam deteriorated and was removed.
A/C needs recharge.
