multiply KGs by 2.2 to get LBS, i do it all the time filling propane tanks.
as for the BHG on Mr. WRXs parents car, if you really want the car, get an inspection done on it, and get them to do a leakdown test. there are a few shops around here that charge about $85 to get it inspected, and they give you a sheet of everything that is wrong with the car. my sister got her VW done, it needed new tires, new struts, and a few misc things.
what year was that car? dont jump into it if your unsure, its better to get all the financials going and then find a car thats worth the money.
regarding loans, the loan i got for my car was a personal loan, not an auto loan. there are a few differences. i had to put up my MKIII and my old car as collatoral for the loan, so if i defaulted on the loan, the bank would take both cars. but i only owe $1500 on it now, i might pay it off in march
