Just to inform other PHers - it's £5K and in Greece.

I don't dip into this thread very often - but the QX, Prelude and Galant are all excellent!

Loads of lovely 1990s Japanese velour-trimmed goodness, and no crazy pricing (although the Prelude would surely be more expensive if it was in the UK).

Are these actually any good - starting to appreciate the "solid" lines and robustness of the design

I like these a lot and would be all over one if I had the room, especially now e30 cabrios and Golf cabrios have risen so much.

Nice late v6 sold at Anglia Car Auctions last weekend for £1650. Also a good feature on them in this month’s Classic Retro Modern magazine.

Harsh.

Multipla is a brave work of genius, Prelude is mint and a great shape and the Galant just looks like a spaceship.
Older brother used to sell Charades back in the day. They're a speedy little car and that one looks very smart if a bit foreign.

So much glass. These were great cars, so enjoyable on the skinny tyres.

Pure 90s, love it. Just need "Automatic for the People" in the CD slot and away we go.

Funny you should mention REM as that’s the most snoozeworthy car I have seen in this thread

Memory loss?

Really heavy steering, wooden brakes, no power. Hateful cars.

Before Nissan/Renault partnership which made Nissans terrible...
I had a Primera with that engine from that time which was great

No?
Skinny tyres gave great feedback and light steering, brakes were okay but ideally don't brake so you don't have to accelerate again. Lovely natured cars, great passive oversteer. My step-mum had one which I favoured over my actual mums' Mk1 Astra of similar output.
Also if you hit a hump-back bridge fast enough they fly really really well.

ETA. this was a very very long time ago. I'm a responsible citizen now. Honest.

I'm not going to argue it isn't a divisive design...

That would make a great opening to a Readers Cars thread.

The dealer selling it has some interesting other cars for sale - loads of classic Alfas and Lancias, an ex-BTCC car, some pre-war stuff... https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/user/ccts4092
