your dead right there mate you should see the one i picked up today and he thought it was nice seriously there are cars and there are proper cars a nice RS is a stunning thing to own you know that yes there is shit about and most of these people are trying to sell as mint so they sticj and people cant understand why and start asking the question like what has been asked here.I have seen things go whole circle in the 15 years I have been dealing in RS cars (so AJ I dont think you have had nearly as many as me) A good car will still hold good value far more then any Jap car. I have always said you cannot place an RS in the same league as any Jap car techknowogy has moove so far forward there toally different.All cars are getting better and more reliable by the day soon we will be on hover cars so what will be said of the japs cars then,probaly get a slating for breaking down when they become 15 years old
