missing maintenance - Primera - likerocks

Hi all,

Further to my post earlier:

www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?f=2&t=37...0

I've recently viewed an example which seemed OK visibly and to drive, but on inspection, it had only had 6 services in 84k. Most oil changes were 12k apart instead of 9, but there was one occasion when the interval was 22k.

The car wasn't obviously suffering from cam chain wear or smoking, and to its' benefit a couple of jobs including cv boots and exhaust mid-section had been taken care of. (lambda warning light still needed resetting, though)

Is this car touchable with a bargepole if the price is right?
