$4500 for a 14 yr old vehicle???? If it was the diesel maybe $2500...

Offer $2k or walk away.

"Only 180000 km" means about 12000km/yr - oils/seals/U-joints/radiator fluid all would have been neglected. Neglected radiator fluid = corrosion between head and block.

If they're anything like the later versions they are apparently a pr*ck to body lift, and your spring lift options are limited by the torsion bar front suspension.
