Default Looking to buy

I am thinking of buying a cossie but when looking around for a nice example that all of the cars seem to be molested in some way or other. Is there any original spec cars out there anymore. I have also looked for RS turbos and they all seem to be reshelled into XR3i or lesser and it states that the log book hasnt been changed. It makes me think why are these cars worth so much money and you dont know if your buying a lemon............... Rant over

If your gonna moan about it before you have even bought one, just think what your life will be like after buying one 1 year of cossie ownership and im mentally unstable

Ive had Hondas, Subaru's, and many other performance cars. But the 2wd Saff is pick of the bunch. Yes it will be a pain to find a good one, and when you find it, it will probably give your wallet a good going over. But for some reason you keep coming back for more
