VS V6 acclaim. 220,000km's, power windows, power steer, cruise control, abs, dual airbags, factory fit duel fuel. No rust anywhere. It's got all the factory books, including service history upto the warranty 5yr service. Comes with RWC and 12mths rego. The guy is asking $6,000 for it, we got him to $5k but tryin to get lower then that.
Picked up on a few things lookin it over and on the test drive. Rocker gaskets leaking, muffler has a hole, rear window regs rooted, bootlid was full of water and steering rack was making a rubbing noise. Also when I punched it on the test drive in D with economy button on, it didn't change untill 6k/rpm. He's gnna get all that fixed and the transmission looked at and we'll go back for another look on Friday.
Interior is near immaculate, even the passenger airbag cover isn't warped like most we've seen. And Dad bought his last car from this dealership, and it lasted 4yrs untill some bloke wrote it off, so I trust the dealer (within reason )
Just looking for opinions from you guys, I'm sure you've all bought a few commies in ur time. I've looked at everything I know, maybe you'll know of something else to be checking.
Srry to make another thread, but just trying to make sure we get a good car as it's going to be my dad's last car (unless it also gets written off ).
Thanks, John.
