    Mine has done 50,000 since rebuild without a sole problem. Just regular oil changes and a good service to make sure belts and hoses were all happy. No rust. It's on 300,000 now with another 300000 left in it... except maybe the gearbox.

    I seem to recall on here people having probs with the auto box as it aged. Might be my imagination though.

    Getting about 13/14L per 100km on fuel in mine on the open road. On average an LPG one would probably use maybe 18/20L per 100km. Given the current fuel costs, I'm pretty happy with mine. Reliability wise, well good preventative maintenance and regular servicing should help you avoid that.

    If it was my money I would keep looking.
    If they haven't bothered to fix the rust, and put up with sagging headlining etc; what else have they not bothered to do ?

    can be fixed.....

    take care to not pay too much $s to allow re$erve$ for repair$
