Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

@eagleeyedtiger @Dave, some vehicles have totally sound motors into the high 200k kms.
(service history and check up is good, also shows what's been changed/new and how long ago)
Check rubber mounts and suspension, they add to a quiet, comfortable drive and a more secure one, they often show wear at around 100 to 120k km, check replacement.
I'd go for a model that sold plenty so there are spare parts if necessary and an economic one (saves money on petrol and better for environment).

Thanks, I think that's what's worrying me is that some of them are near 200k and are more than my initial budget, which means there's also potentially maintenance work that would be needed as an additional cost. Not to mention also fitting the other criteria I'm looking for. Definitely want something that's cheaper on maintenance and parts.
