Hello from Australia - considering this RCZ

G'day,

Having seen these cars back in my youth, they are now cheap enough for me to consider grabbing one as a weekender car.

I have read though the forums and watched a few videos and by all reports they seem to be problematic cars to own and maintain

However I'm not put off yet...

I have seen this 1.6 200hp version available and I'm pretty tempted....

Here is the kicker it's in Brisbane, I'm in Townsville (1300 km away)

I'm flying to Brisbane today for work until Friday, do I take the chance, buy the car, miss my flight home and drive the 13000 klm back.

Or am I just asking for trouble here

Here is the car if anyone recognises it or used to own it.


Would love your input to stop me doing something crazy... Or to encourage me to do something crazy

Thanks

I don’t think they are as bad as some people make out. A lot of problems can be sorted cheaply if you know what you are doing. The fault codes can be wrong and send you down the wrong track. As with any car a pre purchase inspection would be a very good idea.
