Hi Everyone,
I have been looking around for my first Navara (D40). Found a 07 ST-x TD Auto with 57ks. Car looks straight and in good to very good condition inside and out (no dents, minimal scratches on paint and in tub liner).
I looked for the service book and nothing. The Dealer (Nissan dealership) said it was a farm vehicle and the owner probably serviced it himself. Being a little sus of dealers, I had a RACQ inspection. They found one thing wrong .. sludge and gunk under the tappet cover indicating that the car has had minimal services (if at all were the Inspectors words).
So my dilema... should I proceed with the purchase and if so what do you suggest what damage could have already been done to the engine & Turbo and what can I do to minimise future damage; OR should I run as fast as I can and keep looking?
I know there are many wise heads on this forum, so over to you my learned friends!
