There was one on Ebay about a week ago, he wanted $2500, from memory they said it only had about 120000km on it.
It can be pretty difficult finding second hand parts for them.

x2. Will be easier and cheaper than an efi motor swap especially if they are still offering a subsidy on the LPG install in Qld (pretty sure they are).
