This was advertised as a 96 model, but is pre-facelift model from 1995, so we assume that the seller is mistaken.
This example we presume is Australian delivered, with 218,000km on the clock. At the time of offering, it was asking $25,000 AUD. A few other examples (particularly of the Aus delivered cars) are on the register - see the link below!
