fill Member 127 Member For: 18y 8m 2d Location: Sydney Posted 07/11/05 11:19 AM Share Posted 07/11/05 11:19 AM Find out were the car has been serviced and call them. I am buying as well so I called with the rego and they told me the entire service history. They told me all warranty repairs, services, and warranty expiration. Definetely good to know as I found out the car I am getting has been in for brakes, steering shudder, power window failure, and misfiring engine. Best thing is it helps with negotiating!
