    Looks very good. Get it AA Checked and get a good 3 year Warranty, (Autosure or AA). Nearly paid $25,000 for a similar one 2 years ago.
    We work to live, and to live is to drive a VR-4, around corners at speed. But it costs see here

    Pity. However, you are now better armed, when you see another one.

    With the increase in fuel costs and the VR-4's apetite, you may see more bargains soon.

    Keep up the effort. You will find one.

    Jap Import, No history, it's probably not worth the risk. NZ New, with full service history, should be OK, though.

    Keep looking.

    It's more a precaution, not sure if you will hear anything. As changing a cambelt is chearper, than engine repair if it breaks.
