Shorty 01, there is a current thread in the Skylines and other Specific Vehicles section covering Prestige. If you do a search it has been discussed several times before.

I imported three cars through Prestige.

None had their a/c degassed (which I had paid for) this ended up costing me $375 per car to be degassed and regassed. I was charged $1188 for storage fees on the Port Adelaide docks while the Department of Heritage and Environment argued with my customs agent over this issue.

Two cars had to go to the crash repairer for a total cost of $2000.

Two cars needed a complete set of new tyres (I had enquired about this prior to purchase).

All up each car went $6000 over Geoff's highest estimates to get on the road, putting me $18000 over budget.

Two of the cars are awesome.

I won't use Prestige again.

I have a mate who is selling his R33 GTS-T. I think it is a S3 1997 model. He is asking about $17,000 from memory (don't quote me on this) PM me if you want his number.

I recently bought my R34 through Prestige and so far all has been good. Had some delays and slight over-run with costs regarding storage at North Haven quarantine (due to the car getting here TOO quickly would you believe), and compliance is going to be slightly more costly than reported, but all up I have been very happy so far.

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility

      I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
