Unlike Novas, if she looks tidy on the outside, they are usually pretty good underneath - obviously if it hasnt been painted!

Rusty IRS, perished fuel lines. generally the dash & interiors suffer the worst on miley cars. Creakey seats & non functioning heater controls that sort of theing.

Dont be afriad of a Calibra tho Scott. I am considering one but would prefer a late Cav SRi tbh.

TBF it was just OK if you wanted an OK car, but nothing was to bad, i just wanted a cleaner one, had a few cabs and scratches, so refused it, although i was quite nicely surprised by the 2ltr 16v Ecotech engine, i rapped the poor thing from the off from the guys drive, wanted to see what it was really like! lol
