yea that will keep going, nothing wrong with it, could nock down the price abit. It will devalue fast from after you buyt it, especially if gas goes up. The odd thing may crop up but hey basically it wil keep going for another 100,000km. Good luck.

K are getting up there a bit, but if you can see a copy of the service history could be worth the punt. Get a pre purchase inspection as well.

Its an early 3.6. They had cam chain issues. $3000 to replace. But at those High km I would say it has been done. Later model ones and early ones that have had the chains replaced do not have the problem, so ask about that. That is the only major issue I can think of.

Ok will do thank you for that.

Seems reasonable. High KM, but $6K is pretty good
Service History will be relevant.

As above. check for service history, apart from that it looks to be a tidy car & is reasonably priced. You'll like it.

Pay the extra few dollars for a full carjam report just to satisfy yourself that it was a company car and not a taxi or cop car.As the others have said check service history, service book in the glove box would be a good start. If you can get it for 6k you've got a good deal.

I would say it was a cop car - slapped some SV6 wheels on it, are there any unusual screw holes around the passengers side plastic dash / footwell assembly!

How much faith do you put into the dog and lemon guide! They seem to hate every car ever made. They say this should be never purchased and rated as "Dodgy".

That was my thought. If anything, a taxi, but not LPG, so unlikely.
I'd get it checked out, but seems alright to me.

Yeah I agree. I find his help most unhelpful. If he was right nearly every car owner on the road would be broken down or out of pocket.

Don't think you could put gas on the VZ, seem to remember taxi drivers who updated at the time were trading them back on VY's

You mean CNG or LPG type of gas !

$3,000 for a cam chain! Or did you mean $300!
