Blaze,
Can't help much sorry, but since no one else seems to be knocking you down with replies.....
Dont know them personnally, but heard general rumours rangies aren't real reliable and cost you a bomb to fix. All imported parts and panels.
Then to confirm that, met a bloke that had one about that age at one of the jobs I was on in aus and I asked him what it was like. He said it was good but a few of the other guys that knew him better and longer were saying he had it in the shop a heap of times and was always moaning about the repair bill. Don't know the specifics of what was wrong with it, but seems it was something different each time.
Hope someone else can give you a bit more first hand advice.
Cheers
Jeff
