shorty Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Its luck of the draw with any second hand car tbh, my ep85 has low milage and the engine blew the bottom end on the stock 4e within a month or so of buying it. Will get there after all the bugs are worked out of it ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
