I'm not very good with manuals. I was always riding the clutch and nervous on hill starts - lol. Especially in Auckland city - eeek! I just looked up my WOF records and apparently I travel around 2,500 kms per year.

Thanks for these. It's giving me the idea of what to look for. :-)

Good to know. I wish there was a way to export all the listings so I can filter them in a spreadsheet. Would make things so much easier :-)

Weird. I was getting it done every 12 months. I'll have to look back on my service invoices.

Yeah, that's where I got the 2,500 km from - lol! But I'm one of those idiots that paid for a full report *doh*

Okays, so I'll change my search to Toyota, year 2000, at least $5,000? That should narrow it down a bit. Will come back to it tomorrow.

I have been hunting in this market for the last few weeks (3 - 5K) most of what I have seen are a giant pile of rubbish that I would not give to my worst enemy. I am with a prior poster, if your car is in good nick, spend $500.00 every wof. $500.00 is easy to spend on a vehicle these days. certainly wont get much change from a front brake (revamp) job or a front shock (replacement) job on a newer vehicle.

What would cause a tyre to crack like this? It's from a Toyota Ist 2004. Listing # 841853572
Why mate? A $3K car is going to need just as much work. Sometimes the Devil you know and all that.

Look at it this way a $3k to 5K car is up for sale for what reason? The owner doesn't want to spend money on it for one Just possibly you are buying a load of hurt for your pocket

mate you haven't been looking in the right places . I know a caryard had (past tense) a mint little 1300cc march and a primera wagon with a few k's but driving well and a 200k civic hatch that again done a few k's but still driving really well. Funnilly enough every buyer told the caryard that there was a lot of faeces out there in that price bracket.
