My eldest brother is looking at buying a used 06 territory ghia ex-fleet car, I think it might have around 100000km's on it but I was just wondering is there anything to look out for in these cars for when he has a look? What servicing needs to be done? just anything of interest.Thanks heaps, Leo

The rear diff bushes go too. Another thing to be aware of regarding the lower ball joints is that you can't simply buy the ball joints, you have to buy a complete arm be it genuine or aftermarket.
