Mate i have a 2003 December Euro - its an ex Company car which was used on a highway and very little city use. When i got it my hands on it, in 2008 she had done 167,000 now im on 216,000 and still drives and feels like the day i first drove it. The gearbox is as tight as a new one, steering is beautiful. It really demonstrates how good the Japanese are at making cars. They drive better then Holdens and Fords any day of the week with the equivalent amount of k's.
i personally think cars should have hour meters like boats. would give us a much more accurate reading of a cars history...
Because you can have a car that has been driven on the highway most of its life like mine with 167,000kms, or you can have a car thats done mostly city driving smashing through 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear with 167,000kms on the clock...... quite misleading.
I expect my car to at the very bottom of the page on carsales when i come to sell it next year, however i still believe that my euro is as good as a car as one thats done 100,000 kms. purely because of Maintenance, serviced every 10,000kms by my mechanic who i trust, and the only problem i had with the car was the foot throttle cable was not reading properly into the throttle sensor which i had to get replaced at about 205,000. cost $300 fitted (from a wreck). Whoever buys my car will be very happy with their purchase, So basically a 100,000km euro is only a baby and should be good for another 200,000

. i hope mine is!!!!
Take care of the car, and it will take care of you. and Enjoy!!!! EURO'S ROCK!
