Sizlak Member 35 Member For: 12y 3m 21d Posted 04/10/12 01:54 AM Share Posted 04/10/12 01:54 AM I had a bf xr8 until I took a ba f6 for a drive. A week later I owned the f6. The ONLY thing I miss about the xr8 is the sunroof. but yeah I agree with everyone saying to sell and buy a different one. It sounds like your doing the other person to much of a favour..

Bit like yourself and henz though, wouldn't want to get too close to 100,000kms. 80,000 is fine, especially if you go to 400rwkw you'll be replacing a lot of things anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 13y 9m 24d Gender: Male Posted 11/10/12 09:42 AM Share Posted 11/10/12 09:42 AM How the Kms are clocked up are Important too. I've clocked up lots of Kms on all cars I've had and the cars have been well looked after and tbh had a pretty easy life. I'd rather 100k Kms of highway compared to 80k Kms of city driving. If the k s are clocked up quickly you could hope it has been from long cruisy drives rather than zipping around the city. Hopefully there's other ways to tell if they have racked up the Kms on the hwy too, eg live outta town or whatever.Just my 2.4198c inc gst and carbon tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
