[QLD] Possible new car,

[mickey1010]

It doesn't look too bad. But is it really worth the bother? There are plenty of cheap, undamaged and good running VTs out there. For the money you'd probably spend getting this one on the road, you could buy a better one.

It looks like there is slight distortion of the inner guard. Look in the third pic above the air cleaner. There is a hole in the inner guard that is bent slightly outwards which possibly indicates that the inner guard has been pushed back slightly.

If that is the worst you can find, it wouldn't be a complex repair to undertake at home.

I'd sure buy it, but then, I'd also undertake the complete repair including paintwork, so labour costs would not come into it.

I plan on doing it all myself at home, Im hoping to have it on the road for 2k or less, also i found out it hasn't been put on the repairable write off register so thats a bonus.

Not sure about car prices where you are but they are bloody expensive up here, the lowest price i could find for a vt in good running order was 3k plus. An im not going to travel to get a car because that's just more expenses.

The Vt is in immaculate condition other then the dent in the front, its got stainless extractors, full exhaust an lowish Kms.
