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
Oil & Filter changed
New sunroof seals
New hood shocks
Replaced at 58,000 miles:
Timing Belt
Water Pump
Balance Shaft Belt
Distributor Cap
Thermostat
All Tires
Plugs, wires
Rotor
Oxygen Sensor
Other details:

Goodyear Eagle HP tires with good tread left.
Includes extra set of 4 “cookie cutter” wheels with Pirelli P700-Z tires mounted (bought to refinish or outfit with winter tires.)

This is a vintage vehicle and has a number of little glitches yet to be repaired. For full disclosure:
Power window switches to be checked: Drivers side switch won’t operate passenger window. Passenger side switch is reversed.
Power radio antenna is stuck. Motor appears to work but antenna doesn’t raise/lower automatically.
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.
Some cracks in dashboard (extremely common for this model)
Upholstery has some wear in various places.
Steering wheel stitching is mostly gone.
