hi everyone,
im thinking of buying an AU series 1 (late 99 model) forte station wagon. its done about 130,000 kms, im interested to know what things i should specifically be looking out for with this model at this age, i noticed some rust on one of the arms for the tail gate, not bad, and some squeeking on the back right rear shocker when going over bumps, checking on the maintenance records i see the auto trans was serviced at 100,000kms (i assume tha tis a good thing), new front struts at 100,000 (how often do these need replacing?), just had new tyres put on the rear, front tyres have done about 30,000 kms, front pads just replaced one thing it said on every maintenance report since the current owener got the car at about 80,000 was 'oil discoloured' but no reference has been made to what that is and the person has no idea about it apparently, so it would be nice to know if anyone has any ideas about what that means? any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks, |
