I bought my car about a year ago and was in good condition.
The previous owner was a wife of a mechanic so it had been well maintenaned. I've been to Esperance, which is about 800km from Perth, and Exmouth without any trouble. Even though it's 22 years old, it has been reliable, with few problems.
I decided to cerebrate 1 year ownership by having full service at a garage. It cost me approximately $150. The mechanic suggested I replace the universal joints and rear brake linings. They charged me about $450 for the additional work, $600 in total. I was pretty happy to pay.
However,a week after, I heard a noise from the back of the car. I though it was from the wheel-bearing. I was right, it was, and it cost me an additional $180.... Then a week later, I heard another noise from back.... it was also a wheel-bearing, on the other side. The garage charged me another $180 for that. The following day, the coolant started leaking from the radiator. I paid $400 to replace that..... I hope no more trouble from my car.....
