    What's the estimated safe range of Klms on the odom?

    Lol... Doesn't have Ike for a new càr service but has time for an engine rebuild. I hear the VZ cook oil in a lot of cases especially the v8s. I know this is a BUGE hangs to my original plan but I've decided to get what I've always wanted and keep saving untill Incan afford a clubsport. Maybe a...

    What's the estimated safe range of Klms on the odom?

    Is alright, found out my cousin is selling a 04 series 2 VY SS with 75000kms on the clock for $15000. So I know the owner, and have a good mate who's a good mechanic that could go over it with a fine tooth comb for me. So if I can convince my cousin to hold onto it until I have the money I'l get...

    What's the estimated safe range of Klms on the odom?

    I even SAID I know there's a lot of things to take into consideration and a lot of variables. And was trying to ask... without knowing the history of a car what do you think a good limit of Klms would be to stick under. So like i said I KNOW a car with a lot more k's could have been treated a...

    What's the estimated safe range of Klms on the odom?

    When I bought my first car, a couple of things that were definite deal breakers were if the car was over 10 years old or over 140 000kms. Now I'm looking for a VZ Commodore. I KNOW there are a lot of other factors that contribute how reliable the engine will be before needing things replaced...

    What to get when PRICE$$ is a problem. But time isn't...

    UYeah MikeCuzzy, you've nailed it on what I'm looking to do. While I know auctions can be risky Ive' had some luck. I bought a 7 year old VR years ago, that I owned for 6 years and had no probs with at all besides the usual things that go wrong at around 1800k to 200k (alternator, harmonic...

    Thanks for the replies. I've taken your advice.. and trust me I was only asking because I can tell from reading the other threads you guys know what you're talking about. The thing pushing me into the direction of an older model (VK - VL) commodore was the fact it would be cheaper.. but I can...

    What to get when PRICE$$ is a problem. But time isn't...

    That's what I like to hear... confidence and 'can do'. I don't necessarily mean a VZ or any particular dash, I mean just an upgraded interior. **** if I could fit a new style BMW dash into it or something or Monaro I'd consider it that doesn't matter, I just meant something new. Steering wheel...
