I just read on Wikipedia that the Sportback was offered for TWO years in Bobinott Country (aka Canada). Dangit. Those guys get all the good stuff, like poutine.
Okay, a quick national search found 5, four of which are on Cars.com. They ranged from a $2.5K with 165K to an outrageously priced example for $7.5K with only 89K. So they're out there, but not plentiful by any stretch of the imagination.
KBB says under $3K private party for a Ralliart...if you could find one. This may be another deal of the century for somebody who is willing to put up with a very rare (in the US) sporty Japanese wagon. Reports have been nothing but glowing from what I read and 0-60 is about 8 seconds (slushbox only, no manual was offered). A screaming used wagon deal!

Never seen one of these. I couldn't even find one on Ebay for sale.
ReplyDeleteI didn't find one on eBay, either, JJ. Not even on local CL. Prob in LA.
DeleteWow, nice looking wagon. I have never seen one. However, I did find at least a couple for sale in Canada:

I see that the new Sportback is a 5-door hatch, rather than a wagon (it's alright K2, just breathe deeply).
Ha ha. Doesn't take much, does it?
DeleteBoth of the cars you found looks like a good deal, B.

DeletePoutine? Isn't he the president of Russia? Vladimir Poutine? Seriously, that stuff is an acquired taste, which I have yet to acquire.

ReplyDeleteMotorweek's review, which I should have included above. Oops.
