looking for a cheap little pulsar for a daily.

the only examples in my price range are edging on 200,000+ kms.

ive never owned a pulsar past the 200,000k mark, how do they hold up? obviously its all subjective to how they have been looked after/ driven.

there are plenty for sale rearing the 300k mark, so i guess its got another 100k left in it?

FYI it2 200,000+ k's on 1999-2003 models.

cheers adam

My daughter bought this about 2 and a half years ago......

A 1 owner 1990 Pulsar Reebok..... Not for sale but I thought you may find it interesting.

It had original radio, original 1990 spare tyre. She has modernised it a bit now but it's still a great car, now has 221,000 kms.

why are people so freaked out by the 200k km mark? ive driven cars with 300k and even 450k+ mark. still drives normally.

i remember my gti, originally had 98whp back when brand new, dynoed it when it had 225k on it, did 96whp. pretty damn nice, the block was still in perfect bore too. they were +0.01mm oversized. bretty damn good for that car. had perfect service history and everything.

^^^ that's true.

My n15 pulsar has 200xxx km on it and drives like a dream. Only thing that needed to be done was the clutch 10,000 km ago.

Remember it's not like these cars get boosted nd pushed to their limits. It runs the way it came from the factory and will run almost forever. (please don't brake pulsar) haha

My crappy daily is a 1997 1.8l lancer that had 220k on the clock when i got it off of a mate for next to nothing. It now has 295k on it and is still going strong. As long as you do the usual services/maintenance then it should be fine regardless of the amount of k's it has travelled.

Ended up putting a deposit on this.

Quite happy with the condition of a car the car considering the k's.

Only problem is an aesthetic one, the drivers seat has a small tear in it, plas sone minor paint chips on front bar.

plenty of parts around for those in the wreckers. that is the first of the renault ones as well.

I had a N15 and sold it with 425k on it. still ran well and the auto still behaved.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
