Perhaps so!
My mechanic has alerted me to the fact that the resale value will
soon drop as it goes over 200,000km (125,000miles) and that repairs
may be immanent due to age and the turbo . .
The one thing that annoys me is the tailgate latch is worn and
allows the tailgate to move alot, with much rattling under some
conditions . . . apparently hard (or expensive?) to replace.
The suspension is too low for comfort (perhaps it has sagged?), but
may be there is a way to lift the rear end a bit to clear driveways,
etc? It is also very skittish on roads with loose surfaces (not
often encountered and letting pressure out definitely helps).
But if 500,000 miles (800,000kms is reasonable, let's get it
fixed!!)
Cheers all,
Jim Kelly.
