+1 find out who the previous owner was, should give youa fair idea of whose been driving it

Mine was Puma's old car, and was well looked after apart from 4 scratches

the wider Mark IIs are effectively upmarket Camrys, the Mark II Blit is not related mechanically at all (Transverse FWD compared with Inline RWD) then there is also the Crown wagon just to confuse things.

Both are referred to as Mark II...one is the Mark II Qualis, the other is a Mark II Blit

Qualis is FWD, Blit is RWD/4WD and powered by either the 1JZ or 1G

Looks like a 1JZ-GTE to me

???? are you talking about the x110 chassis? if so the mark-ii x110 is a dam nice body line
the verrosa is a little bit diff but still a nice car

but if i was looking for a wagon it would be a stagea or a jzx110 blit wagon

since i love my jzx100-110 chassis it would be a blit wagon hands down tho

The VQ powered Stageas look nice, I'm just a bit concened about the long term reliability, at least with the oler Stageas there are some up to around 260ish ks...

They also seem very good value, just need to install parking sensors for the wife with that huge a$$...

+1 for falcons

Sorry guys - it has everything and the ability to easy tow a fun track car as well ( my old falcon never noticed a Gt4 , and a car trailer hanging off it - torque is your king - bow to it )

Cheap to service -cheap for parts , lots of space for the spare tyres, and the dog , and cheap to insure VS an import

I find the Stagea so easy to drive even though it's quite big.
I'm lovin mine so far. Only the VQ25DD model, but stil has decent torque for the weight and size of the car.

Awesome car for sounds also

Can i start the F.O.R.D. jokes yet?

I went and had a look at the VQ25DET Stagea they have at Croydens on the weekend..a bit out of my budget but a very nice car! It hauled a** all the while being nice and comfy......not sure I like the HICAS though....4WS has always felt weird to me but it is probably something to get used to

Emperor- How are the VQ25 ones? That is probably where my budget is at- Do they still go alright?
