Hey there
I own an 87 laser ghia with fuel injected motor. Its done 303,000 kms but the front brakes need new rotors and pads, it needs some paint work but the interior and stuff is in good nic. Do you think it would be a better idea to wreck it and look around for something with less k's or spend the money to get the brakes a paint work repaired? Cheers! Chris |

spend the money on the brakes and forget the paint.
no point wrecking it out as parts will be hard to flog off, and they arent worth much. |

Good luck getting $1900 for a KC. With those kind of KM it's about time to take it to the scrap yard in the sky. Unless you want to replace basically everything but the chassis.

Ive got a KE Laser, 306,000 kays on the clock, still going strong!
I just use it as a work hack, i dont expect too much outta it, and it just keeps going and going, great cheap economical runabout. Especially considering petrol prices lately.
