    Default Vs ute 2000 help

    Hi all

    Been to look at a 2000 vs ute V6 auto..140k .Car is in very good condition with a bench seat and column change for the auto..i have a couple of questions:

    1.Is the bench seat a rare option

    2.what is the price guide for these

    3.there is a slight bit of milky substance in the radiator cap....Is this a head gasket....Should i walk away

    4.What is the life of these engines if looked after

    Thanks

    1. Not really, more or less a pain in the arse to me

    2. Have a look around on Trading Post etc

    3. Id already be gone

    4. Very good except when the head gasket is gone or the head is cracked
