Yeah it has fairly new tassie plates on the car, probably registered here within the last 2 years, the mechanic told me the current owner bought it for close to $25k so should be a really nice example.
It is fairly common to see main land luxury cars for sale here, even in car yards with the mainland plates still on them, Mercs, Beamers, as they are so much cheaper by several thousand dollars compared to the local prices, that's because cars here are generally with much lower mileage than mainland examples, I mean it is not uncommon to see good examples of 20-30 year old cars here with 120,000-180,000k's on them
Tasmania is such a small place, sure there had to be a few lurking around and nice to finally spot one, about 18 months ago when I first started looking for a 6.9, well even considering getting one I saw a metallic golden one on ebay in Launceston for sale, it was I think $6,500 but had a lot of rust around the doors and rust bubbles on the boot. Something like that would have needed a full respray and that's big money if it is done right.
