G'day,
About 6 years ago (early/mid 2007) I was hoping to buy a U13 S2 SSS Bluebird... Asked a fair few questions here after finding the site, and delighting in the fact that there was a local Bluebird "fan club", having also enjoyed online communities for my Nissan 280zx.
Well, sadly it wasn't to be that time... Instead we ended up with a 99 Toyota Camry... *sigh* We had a boy in October 07, and over the following 12 months, my Zed was driven less and less, til we let the rego expire, and it sat til Oct'11, when I sold it for $1,000 to a young chap from Toowoomba... *sniff* Hopefully he's restored it to driving condition and is enjoying it.
We've since left sunny QLD, and now live in Geelong. We've also added to the family just a few weeks ago, so the Camry has a baby seat and a booster seat in it now, and whilst I'm currently only doing some temp work, we'll need a second car when I gain full time employment... Whilst I'd love that to be a new (old) Zed, it'll more likely need to be a 4 door, so once more I'm back thinking of the good old Bluey...
Looking online, I see they seem to be selling for around $2-5k, depending on model, year, km's... Considerably cheaper than they were in 07, though of course the Camry's probably worth a lot less too now...
Here's hoping this time I'll end up with a Bluebird, and not another Camry...
cheers
