    if people have high Ks, engine may need repairing, the car may also have been thrashed and driven badly....

    higher the Ks, lower the price...vice versa

    me personally, i wouldnt even look at a car with over 200,000ks on the clock, BUT, thats just me...

    What do you mean by engine may need repairing, what parts are common?
    My car has 210,000 and I feel it runs great. Was originally Telstra car, would that have a good or negative impact on the engine?

    Yeah it was a Telstra company car. I have heard something about automatic headlights that Telstra used. Don't know what it is though. I know the headlights automatically turn off when you turn the ignition off and open the door though. Don't know what the story is though.

    my vt only has 135k on the clock.. but if the car is well looked after and serviced regularly the 3.8 motor last FOREVER like seriously my mate had one done around 400k didnt miss a beat... i think average mileage when buying is around 180-200k second hand mark anyway

    Basically the lights stay on day or night when the ignition is on. You can't turn them off but you can remove this option.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
