    How old landy to buy?

    How old landy to buy?

    I can see what u r saying but, i know that there are badc engines, i guess that it depends on maintenance and the driver. i want to get general idea on the life expectancy of that engine. I do not want that engine to run for ever, and what i do want to do is to slowly change most of the things...

    Hi there, I am from wilmslow cheshire. Well i guess that i will be looking for new one. The insurance company will not insure a write off anyway, and i think i may have a problem insuring it alswhere as well.

    110 Crashed

    Just to explain, there wasnt a verdict over the vehicle from the insurers yet, but with the cost of repair of 8000 it is total loss.
