Here's what Iv'e never been able to comprehend. There was a time when this starion for $250 bucks and in really really bad shape was driven home from the dealers and parked brand new in somebodies garage that night. The leather smelt new, the engine crackled with that new engine sound that they make, the whole experience must have been amazing yet somewhere along the way people lost interest and what was once the pride of Japan, a revolutionary car in so many ways is now for sale on ebay for the cost of a fancy meal in a top restaurant. I dont get it and never will how people buy something so special and so new and in a few short years it rots ???

its called conspicuous consumption vulpes. Sure the starion was the greatest in 1983, but as always something newer comes to market and with some folks having an older model car just isnt good enough to impress the neighbours.

PS: Why are these cars never in perth, I could do with some spare parts.
