A backfiring buy

...

I'M CONSIDERING buying a 2002 gas BA Falcon ute. It has done 236,000km and has a full service history, but it backfires and I am concerned that it could be a problem. What do you think?

BACKFIRING is common on cars with LPG that haven't been well maintained. Backfiring is generally caused by stray sparks igniting the fuel/LPG mixture in the intake manifold, so have a mechanic check the ignition system.
