    under 25,000km for a 3 yo car? wow.... virtually brand new. i'd be getting a full service done though mate, if it's been sitting around doing nothing there's a good chance it hasnt had regular servicng. get everything done- brake fluid, coolant, sparks.... the lot. and watch those tyres as the years start to tick on (all tyres have a limited lifespan- can explain more if you dont already know, but research DOT Code if you want to do your own reading).

    congrats on purchase- pics please .

    Seriously this car is probably still on the OEM tyres and it relatively new compared to most cars on the road and so are the tyres. Only 3 years old when bridgestone (if they are OEM) offer 5 year maunfactring defect warranty on their tyres and recommend a lifespan of 6 years is a bit of an over-reaction and may cause concern to the OP when its not warranted. Maybe a refresh on DOT may help! Aged Tyres

    It was driven mon through friday about 8kms a day then once a month it was taken on a bit of a cruise
    It was serviced on the 25th by Holden in fremantle so I cant complain, I got the service receipt from the seller too.

    I have spent most of the weekend running around and she drives fantasticly
    Here are the only pics I have of it at the moment but will slowly get more and more as I change things and what not.
    Also getting it detailed on the 12th so it should come up awesomely.





    tint shall be goin on next weekend too

    Very nice pick up mate, Love the dash layout on the Statesman and will look smick one given a good detail. 20's and that lowering will make it mint. Hows the
    reception with the new bee-sting?

    cheers
    IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME.... STILL WAITING LOL
