With 1 week to go, before i fly out to South Australia (Have 189 Visa's) i am short listing cars to look at....

The budget for my car is $5000 (ideally)
I have just noticed this car on Gumtree:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/old-reynella/cars-v...

Looks like my kind of thing - Old barge with lots of toys and handsome (in its own way). But i know little about them?
I know it has 250K on the odometer - but then, everything seems to have 250K on the odometer!!

Is this a belt or chain driven engine?
What kind of image does a car like this have in AU? I only ask, as i was originally looking at VT Commodores in SS specification, but i had lots of feedback, that its the Ozzy version of a chav'd up Citroen Saxo?
