I couldn't stop laughing at this Q & A:

Q: All jokes aside. Can you please tell me what requires work doing to it to get it reliable. I want it for my son perhaps. Answered on Nov-27-04

A: PLEASE EVERYONE READ THIS!!Jaysus H Christ, you're a top bloke Nails. Buying this POS for your son; what are you gunna give him for his birthday - cancer? Did you read the ad? I'm not joking and I'm not a mechanic, but let's paint the picture. It's 20 years old, it's been flogged hard all its life, it has over 510,000 on the clock. I've kicked the crap out of it. I dunno about you, but it looks like a no brainer to me. When I bought it off Tony, he had never had a problem. I've replaced battery, clutch master cylinder, gas convertor, radiator and now a coolant hose has **** itself. I think a new engine, transmission, interior, suspension, body and every bloody thing else and it'll be like a new car. Please lets get fair dinkum, I started the auction at one lousy dollar and it has 10 months rego. Do the sums. If you want reliable spend the money up front. In the unlikely event that you're still keen, you're welcome to have a look before you bid - Jonesy - 0408 695070
