Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

Question
megatron
I have this little questions which has kept me puzzled for sometime. So thought of throwing it here.
I owned a japanese car(petrol), manufactured in 1989 which had done approx 136,000kms. And it was about time to replace most of the parts in the engine, from rings to bearings, timing belt etc. Well fair enough the car has done 136k plus its a good 20 years old. (and the car was showing some initial wear n tear related hiccups)
Nevertheless I've seen a lof of newer cars (not of a perticular make but in general) which have been manufactured in say 2002/2003 onwards which have well overshot on mileage (i.e - exceeding 130,000kms) but most of these seem to run quite perfectly. (with absolutely no undercompression or lag which could be noticed)
My question is, Is mileage a good measure of determining whether a car is in good condition. Would buying a new car (say manufatured in 2002/2003) having a mileage exceeding 100,000kms be risky?
Well if i put it this way
Car A - Manufactured in 1994 - 1997> 100,000kms
Car B - " " 2002 - 2007 > 100,000kms
How do I determine which one will start giving trouble to me 1st? Logic says yes its the older one, but I'd like to have some thoughts.
