Woah, where do I start?
The price, Very cheap, most ex taxis I see go for about the 2K mark, and are usually the superseded model, that said however, the kays are extremely high, even for a cab, they usually run up to that in 6 years, let alone 2 or 3. If the body and interior are in good shape (worry about dents, ignore scratches, you would probably want to respray it anyway).
I would probably go for a real sleeper, find some ordinary 19" SS wheels on it, and give it some lower suspension, but other than that, leave the exterior as is, then go to town on the driveline, put in something to make HSV blush and blow away all of the little ricer boys in their fully sick Silvias.
Oh and one other thing, a VE as a cab, what were they thinking? (yeah yeah I know I know
)
