[CL9] Buying second hand - Lux with 100-150km mileage, issues?
Hi All,
This is my first post here so be gentle :wave:
I'm in the second hand market for a Lux and for my price bracket, most of them are toward the 150,000km end. I am not interested in looking at vehicles that don't at least have a full service history.
On top of the service history, I would like to know:
- What are the most common things to look for in a Euro this age? (Either by visual inspection or when test driving).
- Who is best to inspect the vehicle? For example, your regular RACV/RACQ/etc would pick up the main things I would hope, but are there any other options someone can suggest?
- I love the idea of the 6 speed manual. For manuals with this much mileage is it common to have any issues around the clutch or the synchros? (assuming it hasn't been driven by a boy racer). I have heard of issues with the clutch master cylinder.
Thanks in advance.
