[QUOTE="MafiaRide, post: 1584016, member: 32439"] Hi Ed, The 3L ones can generally last. I have seen good working samples which has clocked about 500,000km. Some 300,000km. I have the year 2000 model which has about 74,000km on it and still very good except that the previous owner probably used it for offroading or something. Had to change the underarms and suspension. Basically overhauling the whole suspension system. The 3L ones uses timing chain. The believe is that it will last the lifetime of the car but you probably need to tighten the pulleys. Of course changing the timing chain will give you peace of mind that it won't break in the next few years but generally it will last. The car which has 500,000km on it is still using the original timing chain. At least for my ride, I don't find its expensive to maintain excluding overhauling the suspension system. This really depends on the previous driver's usage. Other than that, I just go about doing my routine maintenance of oil change, etc. Just did my 2nd oil change for RM145. Didn't really change anything except for the rocker panel gaskets. Fuel consumption is good as I do alot of commuting. I can consistently average 700km on a full tank [RM120]. I'm not out to convince you but I'm just telling you my experience. Buying a used car is sometimes like gambling. The car might be in good condition before you buy it but all hell breaks loose when you take ownership of it. So good luck :-) [/QUOTE]
