Just like the 300c I saw for sale. V8 with 22inch rims "Only driven by older lady" maybe true, but really how often do you see old ladies driving V8's with massive bling wheels.

Thats like that Ad that said.... "Only driven by little old lady on Sundays"
But what it meant was that she was the only driver on Sundays. The rest of the week her ratbag son used it for circle work and street drags!

Hmm, it's not like they could claim it was "unmolested."

I'm not sure why the church would/should be held in higher regard than anyone else selling a car.

I wonder if they did a test like they do in Top gear where they do a scientific test of what bugs and microscopic material in the car It would be interesting to see what is in that car. |

there is a news item the other day the new Pope has ordered all of the top end cars some of them included Mercedes Benz be sold and replaced with a much cheaper motor car
So I wonder if this has any thing to do with the sale So what is a better car for the local Catholic church to be driving Hyundai may be one of them but some of the small versions much be cheap but I would not like to be a car crash in one |

Buying a car that only an old lady has driven is probably not a good idea since it has probably never been above 3000rpm. Isn't it bad for engines to never get used to their full potential?

Same as a "doctors car", just because he/she is a doctor doesn't mean they are good drivers.

Ben73 mate in Perth bought a fully imported jap car some guy in Perth found a loop hole in the system and imported 2nd had cars from Japan
Now most of the cars are 50 ks or under and driven in50 limit peak hour traffic This skyline had no anti intrusion bars and other safety gear Now this was 20 years ago The car was sluggish and had major carbon build up two options one full engine rebuild well he did not have enough money to buy a decent car so that was out. I filled it up 50%leaded fuel and 50% aviation fuel basically kero and new oil drove it for 400 ks in 3rd gear the back of the car by the end of the trip was black as full of black muck from the engine. Changed the engine oil again and put a set of hot spark plugs kept him going till he had enough to buy some thing decent in those days it was a XB ford 2 door but the engine was basically cloged from carbon build up that why I take mine for a good run once in a while , where I live every thing is a max of 15 minutes away and the speed limit in Broken Hill is 50k all over so you need to get out of town once in a while |

I bought a VS commodore that was 1 year 6 months old from the Catholic Church it went real well as the Father who drove it got up it from new as they are on call 24/7 and pushed for time with a lot running around everywhere.
I bought it because it had been driven hard and went real well. |
