Mate judging by your post count I would have assumed you'd know what area this should go.
But in relation to your question - Value can be anyway from free to $2000-$3000 for good example. Check the headgasket (water in oil & vice versa). They will go around 200 000kms Smartlock can play up. If it needs to be hit just above the hand brake to start then that's a problem that will only get worse and eventually leave you stranded if not fixed. Otherwise its as with all inspections!

I've always liked the NC, mods depend on budget. As for value depends on condition. You haven't mention any details about the car other than its a 6.
Autos last around 200-300thou kays before needing a rebuild. The 4ltrs can be good engines providing it hasn't been thrashed. Got to love LWBs but maybe I'm biased. Ha I wouldn't pay more than 3k for a mint example

How much? The amount of rego will be the most valuable part of it

I sent that guy a question. I asked if the price was a joke or an error. His response was this: "I have had this car valued for insurance purposes and also for value for money. If you expect me to sell it for less than that, or for what other sellers post their LTD cars for sale at around $2000 or $3000 that are on their last legs, you are horribly mistaken! I guarantee that this car will sell by the end of the auction......watch this space!" I see there is a bid on it. I bet it's either from an account that he has set up, or someone paying him back for his ridiculous price setting. I don't think there is a stock NC out there that is worth $22000.

Problem I see is the klms, so trans and head gasket replacement would need to be factored into the budget.
You can find lower klm EL-AU for $1500!
