chooch Member 256 Member For: 21y 21d Location: Adelaide Posted 18/01/07 12:25 AM Share Posted 18/01/07 12:25 AM Should I get a mechanical inspection before my car comes out of warranty to have anything fixed that I'm not aware of? or am I just being pathetic?

Have a handful of things I want fixed and will get a friend who works at my local Ford to give it the once over for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find anything that looks a bit off or totally wrong take it to Ford and get it all fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a $1000 for an extra 2 years will bring peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
