Things that have concerned me, on the top of the rocker cover there was a bit of oil, didnt look fresh, this oil has also dripped down onto the alternator aswell (There wasnt heaps but im a bit fussy) . Im assuming either someone has driven the car without the oil cap on, someone has spilt oil when pouring it into the car, or the rocker cover will need replacing. Did the Telstars have any faults regarding oil leaks.

All of the electrics seem to be working, clutch is a bit worn but you can expect that in a 93 car, does anyone have a common fault list, i couldnt find any rust or leaks. Im getting it for 6000 including 6 months rego and a service. Ive looked around and it seems to be the going price.

I was looking at magnas falcons and commodores but ive really been won over by the telstar, it packs a punch and its a very luxiourious (sp?) car. Im 18 so id like this car to last me a few years until i can upgrade to another car.

Im asking for anyone whos owned a telstar or known anyone whos owned a telstar for their opinions.

Cheers - Nick
