Looks clean to me, as long as you've inspected it and checked for problems then it should be good to go. Have you already bought it?

no, was going to look at it sunday with a view to buy, if its not knackered.

I've only got a max of 7.5k and if anyone has a good fto (pref gpx) around melbourne, i would love to buy one asap, need one before work starts for me on monday.

Looks clean mate,

Can't really tell from the pics - maybe you could ask a fellow member to take it for a drive for you? Too see if they can feel any difference?

seems like we always point newbies to the best cars on the site that we know are looked after & time after time they always go for the 6k, 8k car ...

..then a couple of weeks later start posting "oh no! i have roof rust :(" or "damn, my suspensions shot / starter motor / alternator / water pump / timing belt & so on.."

sure, another 6-10k later they have a good condition car.. but meh .. you can lead a horse to water ...

but you can't make her drink..

VERY TRUE! but I wouldn't have a clue IF "Ahmed" from Sydney would be as the same as "Ahmed" from Melbourne.
