Miinukset:
- Pelkääjän puolen vetonivel todennäköisesti vaihtokunnossa (osan saa 100-150€ uutena)
- Vakkari ei toimi, johtuen ylemmästä kohdasta (vakkari kytkeytyy vetarin resonanssin takia pois päältä)
- Öljynvaihto alkaa olla ajankohtainen
- Jälkiä siellä, tuolla ja täällä
- Satunnaisia sähkösekoiluja
- Talvirenkaat selvästi sakkokamaa, vanteet on 16-tuumaiset Vectorit.
Plussat:
+ Huoltokirja + paljon kuitteja + Pohja ei ole mätä + Näillä kilsoilla ei ole taatusti epäsiistein yksilö + Hyväkuntoiset kesärenkaat 17-tuumaisilla vanteilla (renkaat Nankang, rullattu noin 5-6tkm) + Vaihdettu paljon uusia osia omistusaikanani (mm. starttimoottori, akku, hehkutulpat jne.) + Kansiremppa teetetty 300tkm jälkeen + Kattava hihnaremppa, rullineen ja vesipumppuineen tehty noin 50tkm sitten + Kytkin ei luista ja turbo tuuppaa mukavasti - ei jää liikenteessä jalkoihin + Pioneerin multimediajärjestelmä (alkuperäinen soitin mukaan) + JL Audion 3,5" -koaksaalikaiuttimet (neljä kpl) - todella hyvä äänenkirkkaus, bassoa melko vaatimattomasti + Leimaa 6/2027 asti Kysymyksiä ja tarjouksia saa esittää, mutta Hirvaskankaan huutokaupan metodit kannattaa säästää muihin tilaisuuksiin!Frequently asked questions about this car
