After 15,000kms the auto is slipping when seeking 3rd. Probably will need a new transmission, approx cost $1700.
The car is big and powerful, looks nice, and can be cheap to buy. Even factor in buying a new transmission along the way, and it still can be good buying.
The 3.0l V6 is a very nice engine, you couldn't complain.
The body work is still looking like new, with colour coded bumpers, and very good quality metallic paintwork.
The interior is comfortable and modern, with good AC and sound, power mirrors, but lacks power-windows.
The driving is solid and predicable.
Has cargo barrier, and carrying four adults plus all their luggage is easy.
Magna's 'R' US, in Lilydale Vic. can supply and install a good second hand transmission for a TS Magna for $800.00.
Love that name MAGNAS R US.
