Keep the car, fix the dash. It's common enough for the dash gauges to fail due to dry solder joints.

Original owner since new, nice:cool:

Odometer problems for these cars are very common. You can buy the small cog from ebay to repair it. It means pulling the dash cluster out and a bit of dismantling to get to it but its doable. I watched my brother do his vp dash last week and only took him an hour all up. I'm sure there would be a video on youtube on how to do it.

Do you plan to post in every thread where someone has a VN SS to see if they want to sell?

Follow the forum rules, if you want to post a WTB thread make sure it's in the appropriate section and leave it at that.
