Default worth it?

Hi all,
I'm looking at an ed xr6 with mid 200000kms on the clock, auto. Tey are asking $2500 for it, it looks to be in good condition, is it worth it.
Thanks,
Benny Mac

Maybe. Sounds like it would be worth it, a good 2nd hand motor is fairly cheap.

Thats what i reckon, everything looks to be almost immaculate but i'm a bit sceptical about it for the price

Definately worth it do it do it. Do you have any pics? Mid 200,000kms though under 250 or over 250?

Last month I bought a EB XR6 from Keith (country SA). It had done 218K. Auto, full factory body kit, everything there, unmolested, lots of dust in it though!!

$3500. I am a very happy camper.

So I would say yes, buy it at $2000.
