Was just wondering if anybody could help me...

i bought my car back in december, it was at 92,000kms, now the car is at 103,000kms... so the service is due, i was just wondering if a warranty would cover this?

I cant find the paperwork for the warranty i got, but if its a used car @ $25000, surely there is some sought of cover eh?

Cheers

Guy

If it was in the 90,000's at the car yard, usually ones I've seen they have already had the service done to make it more appealing to sell. If it wasn't done on yours that could have been a point to bring up at the time of making on offer on it, because as mentioned maintenance isn't covered by warranty. Check to make sure it definately wasn't done but that could be your last hope...

And to follow on, unless you got an extended warranty, then you only have limited items that you can claim on and warranty usually runs out between 1-3 months IIRC... but thats from a car dealer.

Import brokers & compliancers are a different kettle of fish, but once again, can offer extended warranties, which very few ppl take anyway.

Nothing says that someone (being a personal sale or car yard) has to do any servicing on the car.

Its due for the 100,000km service which will have to come out of your pocket. To do everything properly, you would probably be looking around $1000.

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
