To be fair to Gene I never said that. I said the seller would be asking more! Even though heaps more HQ's were made, there seems to be a lot less of them left in really good condition, which is probably one of the 2 or 3 reasons why people seem to pay more for them. In my opinion there is no doubt the HZ sedan is a better car, but the HQ sedan is a way cooler car. HZ drives better (by huge amounts), has better interior, better seat belts and on the Premier the HZ has way better options available. HQ just looks cooler, and today is rarer hence more valuable. Plus less pollution stuff.
My choice for 2 x cars side by side in the same condition and the same price - i'd choose the HQ. But that HZ is a better buy than any HQ you'll find for that price. I paid around $9k for my HJ Premier, and at that price even a few years ago when I got it for $9k a 308 HQ Prem would have been a basketcase for that money. Prem probably owes me $10k-$10.5k now and it is better than that HZ so i'm happy!
