i saw it in paper and might call him - to replace the old turbo wagon. $5k is a little steep tho - must be in good nick.

yeah price is a little steep, considering I got mine for $3500.

Also spotted in the same paper (Sunday Times WA) was an EJ22 powered Brumby for aprox $8000, a little steep also in my opinion.

I saw this one on another site, it's got all the bells 'n whistles, no rust, lowish kms.
I have done the sums and it compares.
It would save someone a great deal of time and hassle.

Considering there isnt any extras with the wagon, like i got with mine - front mount bull bar and alloy 14" wheels, and not a tourer, I still say steep.

And comparing what a '86 RX goes for now (at least 1/2 that now for average one), it would want to be good or very negotiable!

Yeah remember the old rule....no matter how cool a car may be, it's only worth what somebody will pay for it. They both seem quite steep, you may be able to build the Brumby for that price. The RX would have to be REALLY good original condition for that price.

if its a gen rx wagon it should have heaps more extras than a wagon thats just had a ea82t slaped in it? (eg lsd rear, rear disc brakes, inner etc)

Yeah good point, a good load of "extras" too.

I have seen such a wagon as described in the original post in a Maccas drive through earlier this year in Pt Kennedy. I wanted to talk to him, but my missus was too much in a hurry.
It was white and had the GL-10 spec badging and turbo stickers, tourer roof, would have been a "grey" import by the number plate series (10 + years).
