G'day folks. About to start looking at at GU's most likely leaning towards a 07-09 model. ST or STL. With my budget, and a glance over carsales over the last week or so, I'm more than likely in the 50k to 100k mileage range for a decent GU.
I know this gets asked all the time, but roughly how many km's is too many and what sort of things should I be looking at when inspecting them. I know i'll end up with a CR. From word of mouth I'm getting mixed feedback about the 3L CR, some say theyre perfect some say they're a ticking time bomb after 100k etc etc it's just so difficult to distinguish who to listen to.
I'm upgrading from a 2010 CR D22 STR and I know with regular servicing and mechanical sympathy those engines are just fine.
Sorry about a broad question but just thought I'd ask quickly before I fall into any obvious traps.
Cheers.
