I realize it's a typo. Even still, this month's Auto Locator caught my eye with a MKIII on the cover. Snatched it up as I was walking out of Sam's Club.

Pretty low mileage for an 90; too bad it's a non-turbo.

Advertised price inside isn't too bad though.

Really? You wouldn't happened to have saved the issue? I personally would have. If you got it; post it up for us :)

*** Nm; see you added a pick. Pretty cool; how long ago was that thing posted? That's some serious coin for an 86! ***

I come from a land down under
Bought it back in 97 and it was 4k under market value here at the time (I got it for 13k as the owner went overseas got into the shit and had his father sell it to get enough $ to bail his ass out and get home)

Nope it was NA, GTE's at the time were closer to 20k here (78k when new)

I actually didn't want another turbo car as the last had been, I drove it NA for years as a highway cruiser then considered a V8 swap ditched that as I didn't want to hack a nice car so went Turbo instead as it was "easier"......

we all know how that turned out ;)

Not so much the conversion rate more our Govt sticking it with a LOT of taxes....

Toyota bought the cars in with no AC or wings then fitted them at the dealers to save some Tax.

Aus delivered a70's are quite rare here, most are Grey JDM imports.

A good comparison at the time was a loaded Holden Statesman was around 24k.
(a few dealers still had floor stock)
