I forget what REVS stands for, but you can ring the hotline and they should be able to tell you if the current owner owes any money on it and if there are any buying restrictions on the vehicle, ect.
That's about my knowledge of it. Last time I checked, it's free for a verbal and $10 for written confirmation.

You don't want to inherit any debt or have the debt collectors knocking on your door.

Ring them and ask them. Make sure you give them a rego and preferably engine and chassis numbers.

I just did it online and it said it was all smoothe, cost 30 bucks, but i'd rather not get ripped off. Gave all the necessary info about the car.

also, with 326000ks on the clock, do you think the engine would be on the way out?

Dunno. I have no experience with engines.

TD42's are a strong motor mate. You would ""expect"" to see little problems up to 500,000 easily if looked after with correct oils, etc.

There's plenty getting around in the 600,000's. I know one that has 1.2 million and still going strong. If you do get it and decide to put turbo on then I wouldn't run a high boost on it that's all.

It's a pre 91 DX. Redbook gives a 1990 DX TD42 a price guide of $4,900 - $7,100. Less as a trade in. Looks tidy yes but not worth the asking price.
How do i know its pre 91 DX? The tail lights are a giveaway and the vinyl trim and 60/40 rear seats.

[Brendan56]

So he's lying about it being 95?

[MudRunnerTD]

Yep No rear head rests and no flare kit, she's a basic DX and i recon way over priced mate. you will find one but that guy is hitting you up for the TD42. Tell him he's dreaming.

You might want to take another look at those tail lights, they're the se as mine... Post 1994.

It's a DX yes but a post 94 DX

Edit: unless he's gone and changed them to the dummies of course but that be an odd thing to do.
Taps a lot!!!!!!

Doesn't the REVS check say what year model it is?

I am not sure about the laws in queensland but be careful with those 32s. In NSW they would need an engineers certificate to be legal. In NSW anything over 15mm increase in outside diameter over the standard wheel and tyre combination (the size written on the tyre placard) must be engineer certified.

Some people just don't care. If you get pulled over by the police they might be interested to see your certificate and more importantly if something goes really wrong and someone gets hurt and they are not certified you might have been driving an unroadworthy vehicle and could be in a lot of %$&*. It can also give the insurance company a reason not to pay out. Most insurance companies don't care what you do as long as it is legal and they are notified but go over that line and you might find them backing away pretty quickly when it comes time to pay out.

You might have already looked into that or don't care but i thought i should mention it.
