  1. I spoke to Ray at HellBM and his advice was .. ignore the kms and drive it. If you know cars, like cars, owned a few cars, you can gauge if a car is solid or not. A car with 100kms can be more of a risk than one with 300kms. It all depends on maintenance. Properly serviced engines will run almost forever. At a previous job at a Honda wreckers it was tradition at Christmas to run an engine to death. It was a 1.5L sohc Honda engine and we just kept it at redline for half an hour. When it didn't pop, we drained the oil out and ran it dry for another 15 mins at redline before it finally gave up.If the engine has been well maintained then its just suspension which you need to look at. Bushings everywhere, shocks brakes etc Then there is the paint and interior. If they check out then high kms isn't an automatic dismissal.

    OT, but did you use to work at Strongs?
