Yeah people can be a pain sometimes. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Something will come up in the fullness of time.

Hey Jules, wondering you've been:) Yeah you're right did look a bit dodgey, sent him a list of questions about the car and he never bothered to reply and that always sets the alarm bells ringing! Did save me driving out to Katanning though. I think the bloke that bought it without looking at it is pretty brave!

i live my fozzy,
gotta 99 gt,
if you need a mechanic in perth,
try japanese wholesale, in wangara,
the legacy at a 1990 will be close to the age of major things slowly starting to wear out?
i had 92 liberty lx wagon, nice car, but did the cv's, and the suspension was on its way out, the water pump gave up, as i sold it, and so on, i kept it serviced, but it was just getting to that stage,
save up for the fozzy, but investigate it thorughly, take it for a decent drive!!
my airflow meter was gone and i couldnt tell with only a short drive,
but 270,000k's is a fair few, mines done 170,000, but its been well used off road,
check underneath the car for signs of damage, scratches etc,
if not, keep looking for another fozzy with lower k's?
if he has kept the fozzy on the street, and hasnt modded it too much perforamnce wise, it should be okay,
good luck!!!
