Message: <blockquote data-quote="astroboy" data-source="post: 301894" data-attributes="member: 4527">Low mileage is very important to me because every non-solid state components in the car actually has a mileage-useful life, on top of time life. Every 20k km short in mileage in a used car can translate to a year of additional life for many components and that equate to about RM10k - RM15k of replacement cost.Gearbox is one such example and of course, routine replacement of ATF with the right grade is equally important.To me, both low mileage AND full service history is equally important. I have a habit to stretch my parts life like a minor leak on the absorber is something I can live with as long as the handling of the car is not severely affected. Minor oil sump or head gasket leakage also is bearable to me as long as I don't have to top up 1 litre every 2 weeks. I wash my engine every month anyway.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> So I may give u all the service history but that doesn't mean I replace all the items because I adopt a different meaning of "due change".Seriously I won't consider any car that's over 100k km in mileage because gearbox may give way soon. And BTW, how sure are u that the what ever stated on the bill is actually "consumed"? It might just be an bill with 10 items but only 2 jobs were carried out? Unless its an SC bill and SC job.Mileage too can be deceiving as odo can be tempered. So be very careful.</blockquote>
