Looking at getting a 1999 calais with the supercharged v6 engine.

Has done 302,000kms which is getting up there.

I understand the ecotec's are a good engine and last 400,000 with services etc, but what about the supercharged ones?

I know its been regularly serviced and had the auto trans recond not so long ago.

I cant test drive it because its too far away.

That's quite a lot of Ks and you don't buy a supercharged car to drive sedately around the block. I'd want to have a good look and test drive/inspection before I parted with my hard-earned even if it has been well serviced

Its averaging quite high kms per day so could suggest a lot of open road driving which would be better for the engine.

although high k's is a clue to overall condition
at this age maybe body condition is more important than engine condition
straight panels and good paint are just as expensive
