Hey Guys,
Very new here and looking for some advice on buying a VR4 Legnum, i have seen a couple and wanted your advice on acceptable mileage.
I have seen one on Autotrader near me with 120,000miles on the clock with a replacement engine fitted 40,000 miles ago and am not sure if i should be running very fast away from it in the opposite direction? Normally i wouldn't think twice about looking at a car with this sort of miles but as this one has had the replacement engine and is fitted with an LPG conversion i am slightly tempted. I would be trading in a high mileage grandpa mobile Jag XJ8 which has started to turn into a bit of a moneypit so i am reluctant to take on anything else that is likely to require major work. Oh and i am also only looking at keeping it for 6-9months before i emigrate next year to warmer a climate...
Anyone know more about the history of this car if you have seen it on Autotrader (blue and the only one listed as having LPG), or got any advice on if i should look further at getting it inspected etc? The other options i have seen on the net have been from Keighley Trade centre up in Yorkshire who have a few at a decent price, anyone had any dealings with them?
Cheers
Al
