mendedagazda Member 8 Member For: 10y 2m 2d Posted 02/01/15 03:38 AM Share Posted 02/01/15 03:38 AM Hello everyone. I am looking to buy a xr for me. The thing is I am not a mechanic what maintenance should I be expecting to pay for after 95,000kms as I don't have a lot of money and would like to save up to be ahead. Also what questions should I ask the guy about the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutch, diff bush and valve springs may be fine or may all require replacement. If you're worried about this the best advice we could give you is to spend some cash on taking the car to a mechanic before you buy it and let them check it out. Ratter at Pitlane Performance offers an inspection service like this to customers looking to buy as would other tuners in most capital cities.

So many things go wrong with these cars with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or could be a dude who lives very close to work....so many variables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
