from memory i think they have a silver 95 GPX for sale under $11 K
...pretty sure its the one Missbhaved was lookin at

thought she may have bought it by now
i know she was considering getting an inspection on it

barbieros - i'd either PM Missbhaved and ask her if she had it inspected...
or arrange one yourself - i recommend these guys...

That it, the silver gpx. less than 100,000kms and under $11k is pretty good in my book. Especially if its all been complianced and registed properly, which it appeas to be.

I'll tell u what, these insurance companies are giving me the absolute $hits! the BEST quote i have so far is just car at a $2610 premium and $2000 excess. What's the friggin point? might as well bomb insure it, that way i lose my $5000 on my terms.

I'm a 19 year old male with 3 years experience including L's with absolutely no fines/claims/incidents or anything. No one wants to know me. I think i'm better off putting 3rd party on it, but that does risk a fair bit of money. I've got one insurance company left to try, then i'll have to give up on the fto

... that is of course after i put plan B in action...

Insurance company usually don't count the period when you driving with your L, as you still learning. So to them you a very high risk 2nd yr driver.

I hope your plan B isn't putting the car under your parents name, as all insurance company insurance under the youngest driver.

I have to say FTO had one of the highest insurace premium in Australia. Even turbo cars can insure less then a FTO

Crap... i''m stuffed then i think...
I spoke to GIO who my parents are with today. They give a 60% discouunt if your parents have a policy. BUT they don't insure grey imports in Victoria, not untill about october. They are trialling a new product in NSW for grey imports, and if it works they'll bring it here.

So might have to wait.

This is all just making me what the FTO even more, now that i can't have it. I'm picturing my silver beast spin to 8000, and hammering down the fwy... still dreaming....

Of course, that goes without saying...but you can't really trust those speedos can u? they're all about 10% out anyway.
