Contacted Gold Star and got prices to replace all belts, idlers and tensioner plastic top coolant neck plus service 8 speed auto. Scott was extremely helpful and informative. Round figures be looking at $4K to bring vehicle up to scratch.
Fault codes to be cleared by dealer, vehicle driven for a week to see if they reoccur.
Outcomes and the final changeover figure will determine if I proceed with purchase.
Thanks to everyone for their valued comments.
If it's an MY15 as you mentioned and at only 100,000 klms you could do the belts/tensioners and coolant housing later in the year to hep your cash flow
Suggest a trans service immediately upon purchase.
Good luck with purchase, they are a superb vehicle.
