The windshield wiper mechanism is shot. To be fixed. Broken door handle on right rear door. Engine is distinctly tired now, but still runs smoothly and reliably.
This car was purchased in the knowledge that it had a very limited life left. An A 2 B work hack basically. Has since surprised and delighted me with its comfort, reliability, and good build quality, never expected to be capable of reliable intercity trips, it's now regularly pressed into service, as it is a great long distance vehicle, and feels reliable. Body is totally rust free as the vehicle is fully galvanized and wax injected chassis.
Half a million kilometres?? Mate, that is Toyota mileage combined with Audi comfort and style. As the owner of a 2.3 5cyl 90 this is very heartening to me. Nice one.
