Default $89000 XY anyone?

I think this speaks for itself... plenty of keen punters on it:

holy moly... its damn nice.. but you think they would have atleast given it a vacuum.

I can't see myself paying $89k for any car... even if it was a GT.. or a Phase3 for that matter. They're nice, but so is my bank balance.

Try here:

4th color down, there were a lot more colors in the XYGT range than you'd think.

Rear spoilers were only fitted to Phase 3's, i believe they were a dealer option on later XYGT's
But like most XYGT's now they seem to have front and rear spoilers as well as 15" globes which were never an option on XYGT's.

Apparently you have to be a "battler" to be a real GT enthusiast and anyone who collects, restores, looks after or sells them for top $$ is an investor and capitalist pig!
