What to look for?

[DanVR4]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a Euro in NSW around the 20k mark. Is there anything specific I should be looking at with these cars?

Also, what sort of major service work is needed between 80-100 thousand k's? I see theres no timing belt with these cars.

Cheers,

Dan

80,000km service needs valve clearance check (costly due to labour) and then 100,000 needs spark plugs... otherwise its not that major a service for either one.

ive done both the services myself and its not that hard. when i get back home i can email you the full service list for 80,000 and 100,000 if you want?

That'd be great, thanks!

he stated that he did it himself.
so it would just cost him is labour and i guess oil + filter and spark plug as he stated!

I think I've found my car:

I'll be going to look at it on Friday and if all's well I'll snap it up. It's the cheapest Luxury model I've seen!

EUR003act : Did you get the service list at all?

Wow what a trip. Almost 3000kms later and after starting at 2am on Friday morning, I've sold one car and bought another.

Got myself a Silver '03 Luxury Model with the black leather, sunroof and only 50018kms (the one in the link above). I got it from an old Englishman in his 60's so it's in great condition.

Very nice ride home!
