    Give me about half an hour and mine can have only 20,000km on the clock. LOL.

    Seriously though, that thing is mint...check out the engine bay. I don't think that mine has EVER been that clean. Whoever buys it is going to get a real gem.

    Body looks very straight. Ussaly there are at least a few little dints on the sides where people have opened the door on it in carparks. I hate parking in carparks because of that reason. engine bay also looks very clean.
    Australia. Love it or leave it

    nah.... low kms meant hat things that weve all ready fixed up will start to go for them.... cars with 300,000 can be better sometimes as they have all ready had everything that breaks replaced! Thats one cheap find though..,.. wow.... im gonna assume that its been tampered with though... my VN says 85,000kms, but thats cos i got a new cluster put in.. lol... its done more than that.

    Look at the engine bay though man and interior. Its hard to tamper with wear and tear...

    If you'd rather a car with over 300,000 than a car with 70,000 thats your choice. But it aint the right choice.

    hah, well mine with 132,000km now on the clock, i think my interior looks a little better than that (my driver's seat looks a little firmer and less squished on the edge). As for the engine bay, looks mint, although the bottom chassis rails are a little dirty with grease (mine are clean )

    I can tell though from the back pic, car has been in a minor bingle as the corner of the bumper closest to the cam doesn't sit right (but body work hasnt been touched, just the bumper).

    After removing the inlet manifold, i found the the engine to be covered in black oilly, thick charcol. What would cause it to go like this? Bad fuel? Bad oil?

    The car has only done 200k....

    Woops, typo. Only 200,000km doesn't sound low now does it.

    But yeah, stupid thermo was giving me trouble (almost at the point that i wanted to buy a s2 motor from a wrecked car....

    And also, i meant 134,000km just after checking my odometer again, wasnt that long ago at 132 hehe
