I see one every 2nd day, my [old, 81yo] neighbour bought one cheap [$1500] from an old lady who was no longer allowed to drive. He did this because he had to sell his Ford Capri (not a turbo) because the electric window stopped working and he couldn't fix it. I think it was the side his non-driver wife sat in. A sad day really, 4 of us in the street, all in a row, all had Fords (3 of us with Falcons). The other G6ET guy next door moved out recently, but also sold his car a year earlier (which I wasn't complaining about - since he warmed it up for 15 minutes at 6am in the morning, grrrrr). Now have a couple with a tiny Honda and tiny Kia (I think, don't take much notice) next door...
But yep, when I see a 121 on the road now, most times it's him. Not many about.
G6ET (MK1 '10) guy sold his for $12K and 120K on the clock. Bad timing. Told me at the time how happy he was that it held some value. Chuckle.
