yh tbh thats a good price imo.. cant really go wrong with the warranty still on the engine and even better that its got a safty cert..
they aint bad cars just abit to slugish for me..they had all this hyppe with the new commodore ( current model) and when we took it for a test drive i was so dissapointed. it has the looks but no where near the torque or power it should have.

bloke i got it off was a proper nice bloke he even filled it up with fuel washed it cleaned it and orderd an inner arch liner as i found it was missing, told him to forget it as he'd filled it up with fuel a top man. i can have a ba front off a wreker off a bloke i work with but to be honest it's only a donk for work so can't see the point. i also have a v8 disco2 that i filled up tonight $105 i get about 460k for that where as backhome i'd put $130 worth of fuel in my old disco for a play on a sunday so not feeling the fuel at the mo but i'm sure i will the rate the stuff is going up.
