KQ Laser SR2 help needed.

[galaxy xr8]

Hi guy's I'm looking at a KQ Laser SR2, champange in colour, 5spd and 41,000klm, they are asking $16k for it, I had a look toady at it, it seem's very good, drove allright but it's down side was it had 2 dint's, one on the bonnet and one near the fuel filler, the ride was a little harder than most laser's I've had before I take it that's because off the sport's suspension and low profile tyre's, it need's a real good detail as the owner before never cleaned it much but it should come up allright, what are these like for fuel in town and on the hwy, my old KJII 1.8l used 8.7l in town and 6.3l on the hwy, are the 2.0l more thirsty or are they much the same on fuel, and I've noticed alot off laser have a ticking noise when ideling, sound's like hydrulic tappet's or something, is this just the norm with all Laser's, any help in looking for thing's in the SR2 would be good, thank's.
