Wanted: 460 or 461

[Johannes]

Hi there,

I am a new kid on the bloc. Came in with a big disappointment. Wanted to buy the GE 230 from Carcol but had to travel unexpectedly. Now it's been snatched up apparently even by one of you guys... Is there a way I can be consoled? With a 460 or 461, 5doors, preferably manual, diesel or petrol (with small engine)?

I looked for a long time for one of those... Generally when they come up and are in a decent condition they are snapped up in no time.

You do know you can buy a new 461 for about R780k?

[Johannes]

Dead cheap. And what must I do with the rest of my money?

Hi Amzimmy,

Could you send me some more details, such as mileage, state, prize, location and perhaps some pix as well?

Best,
