rmilty Member 2 Member For: 12y 6m 26d Posted 09/11/13 06:44 AM Share Posted 09/11/13 06:44 AM I bought a repairable write off after the Newcastle floods. it had 79000ks on it and was reported as fresh water damage. It must have only got the carpets wet. Done 140ks now and still going strong. Best buy I've ever made.Though I would have walked away if it had been body damage. different thing altogether.

Has all logbooks and is in very good condition, are there any common problems that occur with these k"s? I'm swapping it with my vy ss and really can't afford anything to go wrong. Any help/info would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate killed his 5spd twice on his ba with less than 400hp, then sold it. That'll cost you some moneys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those km's it would want to be around $7000 or less... Otherwise its worth spending a bit more and getting a car with much less kms Edited 15/02/14 01:32 AM by turbojosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is get it looked at thoroughly by someone who knows these things inside and out.. Check that the tune is fine, make it less of a risk for yourself... My BA has just under 200,000kms so for a MK 2 BF it is a lot of kms..Your already winning getting rid of the SS lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLY.555 Member 27 Member For: 13y 10m 23d Posted 15/02/14 02:43 AM Share Posted 15/02/14 02:43 AM Yeah it's had all rotors pads etc replaced, I stuffed a ring on my vy that's the only reason I'm thinking about it as I can't be bothered building a new engine for it. The bf is my mates car so I know exactly what's Done to it. I'd just hate to get it then have the engine or something break in it:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
