Hello, I have the same situation w/ my son.I cant imagin gettin any car w/ 270,000km on it.Just think of all the ball joints, ect that will b necessary to get this car through inspection----wow !!! Currently , we are accessing a 90 ford ranger that the state has for sale at auction .It dosent run and hasent for 3 years . 83,000 on the clock. No history either. I contacted the state department that used it , and they said that it was just not used much , then the battery went dead, the tires went flat and about 1 inch of green alge grew all over the truck turning it green.Will I buy it?Maybe the other bidders will b turned off by the way the truck appears.I doubt it.It will probably b bid high.Just cant seem to find that $100 car in good enough shape anymore.I am hoping for this chick magnet for my son, but not for a high price.I look and look some more |
