Hello
that is rather high milage for a rx on that year! if its the original engine i\'d be concerned that a rebuild was due rather soon.
has it been rebuilt?
whats the asking price?
theres some nice rx\'s up for grabs in the for sale section.:)

there is also lots of model & basic advice in this section but yes it\'s only a problem if it\'s not suitably priced &/or you haven\'t budgeted for a potential rebuild i suppose not that it will necessarily be right round the corner http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_2_100.gif\' border=0>
servicing is often in that it\'s cunning to change oil & basics regularly although the plus point is you\'ll never have a BIG service such as a cambelt & so in those terms relatively cheap but if running costs may prove an issue then you may wana look at insurance & MPG as they sure are thirsty http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/27.gif\' border=0> but having said all that if you find a nice one or/& budget for any potential issues then you will have a whale of a time i\'ve only had mine a month & only had it about a week being totally usable but that\'s mainly weather related recently (read dont wana risk killing myself just yet ;)) & i\'ve enjoyed every minute
Ask away if there\'s anything more specific you seek or cant find in that section we\'re here to help :D
