I have been doing all my own maintenance and repairs for over 50 years. The right hand drive version we get here in oz is the hardest oil filter to change in any vehicle i have ever owned. The power steer gets in the way i remove the large plastic panel under the front to get better access (28...

Purchased mine new in 2017. I am 68 now, it will be my last car I like it but have other vehicles and motorcycles as well and do few miles in it. I expect it will outlast me!

Option 1 Too old too many miles Option 2 Accident repair, how will the repair be in 5 years time. Poor resale value. There are lots of cars out there, keep looking I can't understand why anyone would buy a 4 cylinder auto (boring). V8 Manual best option, best long term resale value, most fun...
