It has a rego and WOF sticker on the front so I'm assuming that it has been on the road in NZ sometime recently.

What do people thing this thing is worth? Or what do you think he will get?
I have room for 1 more but if some one here really wants it ( and not just to make a quick buck) I won't bid.
Love the question, Will you swap for a 94 sir prelude? rofl

To be honest I don't think there are enough people out there (who know what it is) to push this over 3K especially without vin and engine. If you have a 2L to chuck in it and it has minimal rust then I'd say it'd be a steal for that.
The interior looks real tidy. I'm pretty sure there were no NZ new wideys though. Would be a euro import. or maybe gsr-vr from Jap. It's got air-con and cruise control.
Do it!

Robin we can import 2 at once from the USA and put them and a heap of parts in a 40 ft container, make enough off selling the parts to cover the cost of shipping :D

Oh yeah expecting it to go way over $3gs. I'd say its a private import, may have been new, Mitsubishi would never have bought in a 2.6 powered car unless for apraisal. The speedo should give away where its from, can't see it but if its a 180km/h dash then Japan as I'd expect a euro one to be in mph.

Import a couple of euro wideys, RHD and all. They are cheap enough over in the uk. And parts are cheap enough too. :beer
