    Default should i by this vl?

    hey all its my first time posting so i dont know if this is in the right spot

    i have been looking around for a nice vl but then i decided i wanted to work on 1 (well it hav a good engine nd i work on the exterior and interor i dont no much about engines but i wana learn)

    and i found this one
    Holden Commodore 1987 for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

    i asked him if he would do a aa inspetion but he doesnt seem to have the time
    do you think i shouldent get it cos it will break down on me
    or do u think it will alryt ta get and work on
    and how hard would it be to replace the engine with another rb30 if it breaks?
    thanks for any help-advice

    1. The 1million kms scared me until he said he didnt know how many.
    2. WTF is a new Wof???
    3. I wouldnt go near it if it doesnt have history and a working odo unless you plan to replace a blown engine and fix that odometer
