I personally don’t own an AU (got a BF myself
)..but the folks own 2 AU's:
AU I Sedan. Ex hire car. Bought with 120000km on the clock.
Currently has around 180000km. No major issues/repairs in our time ownership. Servicing done every 15000km.
AUIII Egas ute. Bought brand new back in 2002. Fitted with 1 tonne suspension.
Currently has around 357000km. She’s had a hard life, hauling plenty of load, and continues to do so day in, day out.
Apart from general servicing (done every 15000km), the only major repair has been the installation of a second hand diff.
The auto tranny could do with a bit of a refresh as well
