And to answer your question, if it has a fair few chips on the bonnet it is likely it has done country kms. But 145,000 is a lot, personally i wouldn't touch it. What price are they asking?

145 000km is fark all it will still be in good nick
my old man just got a WH with 230 000km on it 235rwkw and it is still going strong no signs off dieing any time soon
I say if its a good price go for it
LS1's are going cheap so dont over pay
my old man got his WH for 8k with all bolt on mods and tune 235rwkw

145 isnt high for a vy, if its in good nick, drives good and has a service history go for it.

You'll find sv8's are cheaper and lower kms, but you can't go past the SS. Just remember as soon as the kms get very high, you will have problems selling it and you will get fk all for it.
