    Having just moved here and having done very little research, I'm flabbergasted at the prices used f-cars command here. Yall must really put in some work :)

    Still in quarantine. They only allow one six pack or one bottle of wine per day. But at $25/sixer I'm sticking with wine.

    Get the missus to buy you a slab and just bring in the 6 pack from it....unless she's miles away from you.

    Well the better one is the QV as far as performance is concerned..I'm led to believe....though being an ex US car it'd possibly have the smog crap they went there with..if any.

    An ex USA, LHD 308 GTSi / GTBi in Oz is what I classify as a "lifetime" car. That means after you buy it, you will be stuck with it for the rest of your life.

    Well I WAS going to mention that scenario...I was hoping someone knowledgable was going to chip in.
    The QV looks a bit ugly in the enginebay...as a starter...

    That is the cable to the speedo sensor. Going to the effort of putting the car on the hoist and then taking a picture with it dangling there tells me all I need to know.

    The pic after that on the hoist shows some 'aftermarket' rustproofing on the LHS.

    Goes, stops, handles, comfortable to ride, and electric start - who needs that?
