Hi John
I purchased exactly the same vehicle and age in February. I love it, see piccy to the right, it goes everywhere with me.
The engine is the VM engine and if looked after with regular oil changes etc, should give you years of good driving.
It handles ok and if driven properly, it isn't too bad on fuel. Has the four cylinder engine with four seperate cylinder heads. Go for it mate and let us know with an update.
Regards
Keith.
