Gday folks, just wanted to come back and say hello now I have myself a little car here in Melbourne after just over a year being away. Took that long to swallow my pride and get over the hugely inflated price tags for cars here. Cheapest Z on carsales.com.au is $18,000 and a 2003 base model with 200k kms on the clock. Haven't really had the need for car as I live and work in the city and transport around zone 1 is pretty easy but my want has now outweighed the need, some fantastic places in regional Victoria that the train just doesnt do justice too.
Bought a 2002 Alfa 147 2.0 (would've loved the GTA but the insurance quotes were absolutely insane and none would recognise my 8 years UK NCB, which is fair enough). Service history is spot on, very impressed with how it drives and the interior makes my 350Z look like an old folks home.
Hope everyone is well!
