Hi guys I've just recently purchased a vx Calais.
I've been so happy with it. It's comfortable and a nice drive.
I decided to take it in for a safety check being an older car.
The wheels need replacing and wheel alignment.
But when I got all the small problems I was really surprised.
I replaced the oil 5,000kms ago and it drinks next to non. He was surprised it didn't leak.
The car has done 176,000kms which I thought was kinda low for a v6.
The rear tyers are scrubbing so I believe I should do that and then new tyers.
But can anyone shed any information on the rest of these "problems"
I'm unsure weather to just scrap the car and get a newer car.
This is the list I was quoted.
Tail shaft bearing $560
Handbrake look at $130
Brake fluid flush $85
Rocket cover gasket $430
Water pump and cooling flush $440
Castor rod bushes $660
2x engine mount $400
Power steering raxk.and high pressure hose $1600
Diff mounts $500
Thanks guys!!
