theres four people in all of Australia on the 380 Facebook page.
Has a rental 380 while driving around Tassie for 4 adults + bags.
Mile of room, comfy, and get and went. Went too good as I picked up a camera speeding fine.
But the choice of interior colours and trim looked like left-overs from a Spotlight fabric sale ............ cheap.
The confusing model range and naming didn't help Mitsi much either.

My wife came to Aus 3 months before I did and bought a Magna. It wouldn't have happened if I had come across at the same time. Still 3rd class driving is still better than 1st class walking.

So many magnas/380s in DD over the last few years. There cannot be many left on the road surely.
I still see quite a few late 90's and 2000's Magnas on the road here in Victoria, infact I see more Magnas than VT Commodores... I can't say the same about 380's, as they're almost non existent...

and there is less & less on the road thanks to Demolition Derby. They have become known as a good derby car for price and for ability to take a hit and keep going.

I spotted a burnt out Magna a day or 2 ago near Peter Page Holden.....

So one less there..

Massive price hikes came about with the model upgrades with them.....ie from VK to VL/VN to VT to VE

That's why I laugh at the statement, they don't make them anymore, so they're worth a heap more...No matter the condition
That’s how these sellers view it… obviously it isn’t true

They sure do......

And unfortunately we get them on here with them selling their car and the tantrums that follow
“You guys are ridiculous and are a bunch of computer nerds and weak dogs” yet I’m flawless because I have a fake Clubsport and think my car is everybody is worth more than everyone else’s…

Great to see how the dialogue they produce is humble and they understand how spending money on modifications or unnecessarily doesn’t really add value to the car

Maybe they have one of those questionnaires that you have to answer before they can join?

I can imagine the questions….

(a) how many times has your ‘upgraded’ transmission failed?
(b) how many times has your engine failed after the oil pump failed?
(c) how many times has your ‘upgraded and improved’ transmission failed?
