Ask Smithy Xtra Holden Zafira LPG conversion
Asked by Harry
I bought a 2001 Holden Zafira for $2000, but the engine is blown and the mechanic says it is better to replace it with a new engine that would cost around $4000. Is it worth spending this amount? The mechanic says these types of cars have got plenty of other problems and even the parts are expensive. Can this one be converted to gas?
Answered by CarsGuide
3 May 2011Right now you have a car that is worthless, but with a new engine it could be worth as much as $5000, which makes it worthwhile to spend the $4000. Cheaper European cars can become expensive as the kays climb, so I would be inclined to get out of it if you can. It could be converted to LPG, but I wouldn’t recommend you do it, and I doubt you would find a kit to do it.
