180 000 kms sounds a bit high to me but with 5 speed and 20s as well as a dvd player it sounds like a good deal for 13 500. offer him 13 grand, worth it i say, but then i have not seen it either.

That sounds on the money to me. I wouldn't pay any more than that though. Sounds nice. Cheers.

been a few vp ss's sellin in adel one went not too long ago for $11 and that was a 5spd with 140k kms and was pretty well stock, so yeh $13,500 is ok, just make sure u get a mechanic to check it if u dont know what ure looking 4 and even make some money back by selling the rims and gettin somethin a bit smaller maybe even offer him $12,500 how good of mate is he Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

In the end mate its your decision and if ure happy with it then go 4 it, but never look at a car as an investment because sometimes they tend to cost u more than u expect, especially 20inch tyres :S dont even wanna think of what a set of them go 4 these days good luck jeff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
