How much are they asking for it

looks good.
how much?

they want 4500

sounds pretty sweet, it's really just finding out if it's leaking at all and what it's like underneath about the roady, it's a cheap price too, It would be worth it even if it needs 1000 worth of work on it

Its an auto and has a tow bar fitted with 180 000km on it. i'd be a little concerned about the auto.

Get an inspection done. I use Sydney Vehicle Check (no use in VIC of course) but under $200 for an 8 page report by a licensed mechanic and panelbeater. They let you know if the panels/glass etc.. are original, accident repir work, mechanical inspection etc... well worth the money, they also give it a quick test drive. Then do a good once over with a mate, compression test is important also and you'll know as much as you can. The rest is just luck i guess. Ive done this with a dozen cars, and luckily never picked up a lemon. Just the usual wear and tear things ive needed to replace.

Only thing you might get knocked back on is height as it looks pretty low but thats a minor issue really.
$4500 seems like good value if its as neat as it looks and drives well.

Car sold so yea bummer

i seen it on ebay , looked like a good buy
