The car had 153000 km's on the clock before I replaced everything.
It was in excellent condition I might add, apart from the driver's seat being worn.

Depends on who the person is. Personally i wouldn't want a car that was thrashed, would you buy an ex rental car? Just asking for trouble in my eyes....

I would think nearly any V8 Commodore has been thrashed!

Depends what you mean by thrashed. When i say thrashed, i mean launching over gutters/roundabouts/speed humps at full speed. I know people who drive there car hard, but they dont do that stuff.....

silly question, but do you still have the owners book?
we had a VK ex pursuit and the owners handbook had certain details blacked out, stiffened suspension also had the black motor

No owners book.
I thought by thrashed you meant just gunning it. Well, I do agree then, that doing dukes of hazard fly by's isn't something you would really like for your car to be involved in.
