hello all.
i am close to buying a beautiful cebera, a couple of questions..
this is the 4.5 2000 model its ex Japan 35000 km not miles so quite low.
the guy who bought it in had some engine problems , had water leek into one cyclinder then it was started and broke the liner, it has been repaired new valves head work bearing etc.
but has any one heard of this before and if its been repaired properly , will not make any difference. ?
if i buy this car it will be in storage for awhile and driven only twice a year but engine started once a month, is there anything i should know about storing these cars ?
thanks for your help..

Ok thanks for reply, there must be a way of storing these car safely, the car will in nz and under cover if that makes any difference, what about starting more regularly or in regards to head gasket damage , a really top quality anti freeze or even draining the water from the cooling system?
Thanks

Ok thanks for that , its just I really want a Cebera there such a cool car, and this one has low kms and is in mint condition , but I don't want to ruin it and have to keep throwing money at it.
I don't really understand how these cars are any different that most cars, I have a sierra cosworth in storage for years and only drove it a couple of times a year without any problems ?
