At the time of last sale in 2006, the seller made the following comments:

"Selling my NSV GTS1 it is in excellent condition and has been garaged since I bought it and most of its life judging by the condition of the paint. I bought it back in December 2005 and since have put around 2,000kms on it (mostly highwaykms). It is sitting just under 200,000kms (199,500ish ATM).

In December I had a Stateroads check on it and it passed with flying colours, so any test welcome. Car is in supurb condition for it's age and goes quite well for an N/A. It's definately a collectors item and a great car!!!"
